    Tyson > Norton & Frazier

    People like to put Ali on this untouchable pedestal for some odd reason.
    So you're relying on the Tyson that hadn't even fought James Tillis or Mitch Green to beat Ali? Or are we talking the Tyson from Berbick until Douglas?

        Ali would beat Iron Mike mentally before they even got in the ring...if Mike doesn't land a Joe Frazier hook within the first 3-4 rounds, Ali would drown Tyson in deep waters and beat his ass...

        I'd give Tyson a better shot against Foreman...and Tyson-Frazier oh my god that would be brutal for as long as it lasts...I think Frazier would break Mike's will...

            Ali had the better chin, better stamina, faster hands, faster feet, better footwork, threw ridiculous combinations, could hurt you going backwards, great jab, height and reach advantage. You look at his earlier fights and his speed, agility, and dexterity are like a freaking MW. Except in a HW frame.

            Tyson has the edge in power and sheer physical strength.

            Tough one to call, I guess.......

              Ali in the 60s can dance around all he wants, Iron Mike will cut off the ring and break Ali's jaw worse than Ken Norton did.

                lol that could happen.

                tyson getting frustrated and missing wildly and giving IN.... could also happen. Ali had a great jab, like a Wlad jab. long reach, would be hard for tyson to get inside, which of course he would have to do...

                i do believe prime tyson had the power to KO anyone potentially... truly the great equalizer

                  If said this before and I'll say it again. Young Clay beastmodes Tyson. Old Ali might get starched.

                    The Tyson who beat Spinks VS. The Ali who beat Liston.

                    They're both the same age in this scenario, 22.

                    That version of Ali was so frustrating to fight. His leg movement was ridiculous, threw a million jabs. I can't imagine any heavyweight would beat him that night.

                      Ali would have dominated Tyson relatively easily. No doubt in my mind whatsoever.
