    Mike was at his peak 21-22
    He beat a past prime Liston certainly no evidence that version of Ali was better than the one who beat Foreman ,Ali himself said in the 70's he set down on his punches more with better counter striking and being more durable because he was physically stronger .

      I don't think Tyson ever gets his feet set well enough to land a ko shot on Clay, and I dont think he outboxes him. Clay controls him outside, nullifies him on the inside and uses his jab and quick stinging shots to win rounds.

      Ali UD 12/15 maybe a late stoppage, but I wouldnt bet on it.
