    I would have liked to see Foreman against both Holmes and Tyson. However, the fight with Tyson would have been more intriguing because of the punching power of both guys.

      Foreman-Tyson only if Foreman had not taken the 10 year lay-off and obviously was 10 years younger. For those reasons the fight loses appeal, IMO.

        Foreman after the layoff was still a beast. Proof is the fact that he regained the heavyweight crown in 1994. I think that a Foreman - Tyson bout around 1990 or 1991 would have been very interesting. A clash between a prime Foreman and prime Tyson would heve been a a TKO victory for George, I think.

          Absolutely, both of them in their prime makes an explosive fight.

He fights against Frazier were exciting and his win against Foreman was career defining but he got so many bull**** gift dsecisons from officals for being piece the**** tool racist tool he was. Forget not also that Ali brought into existance the Don King era.

            That is the kinda of scumbags Ali has as friends Don King, Mike Tyson, virtually every other boxer who knew when he was figthing despises him.
            agree with him or not, I like when someone has the balls to call it like they see it. How dare anyone call for someone to be banned just because they don't idolize one of their gods like others do. I agree Ali was over-rated, great fighter? yes, overrated? of course. No one gets that big in mythological proportions without being overrated somewhat. And of course he got gift decisions. You could make a reasonable arguement that he never beat Norton. And as far as not wanting to go to war because no cong had ever 'called him a ******' (that was an actuall ALi quote, just so you guys won't call for me being banned) is Bull****, he was just an un-american scared *****. This forum is probably no different than any others out their-Freedom of Speech-until someone says something we don't like. Boo ****ing who. If someone thinks Ali ******, then so ****ing be it. It's not the end of the ****ing world.

              I might be one of the only people that I know who would agree with Ali not going to war. This doesn't have anything to do with the thread but I gotta speak on that. I think Ali was absolutley right to refuse to go to war for the America that existed at that time. Seeing what was goin down for black people at that time, it amazes me that people call his reason bs.

              But as far as Tyson avenging Ali, I dunno about that. I never understood how someone could avenge someone elses loss. I mean, Tyson beat Berbick and Holmes, but the fact remains that Ali never did. I just think that if a fighter loses a fight, only that fighter can avenge himself/herself.
