I agree by the same logic as Anthony Joshua. Styles make fights and one of the things Ali stylistically did really well was jab from the outside. Mike Tyson at his best was a master of evading and slipping Jabs he would make himself very short and move his head very fast so he would be able to close distance on Ali. And that was Ali's weakness against Frasier is that he could not keep Joe off of him he could not keep the fight on the outside. If it was a 12-round fight it also favors Tyson because Tyson never fought in 15 Rounders. Ali in his later career which is not truly fair to look at in a fantasy fight. Gave up his body too much which would be a terrible thing to do against Mike Tyson. Mike did not throw looping wide body shots like George Foreman dead. They're tight and damaging. The prime Muhammad Ali moved a lot. But I can still see at times if it goes to the ropes that he could absorb body shots from Tyson. Because this happened to him with Frazier. In his prime.

Muhammad Ali is a great fighter. But you disrespect him when you put him on a shelf and say that no one can ever beat him. He can be beat and Tyson can be beat they both had losses in their career. But Prime vs Prime Style vs style I like Tyson in this one.

I will also go on record saying that I favored Muhammad Ali over Holyfield. But there is only a short window of where I think Tyson beats Holyfield.

AJ thinks short fighters who get on the inside will beat everyone out there post-Ruiz. Poor fella. Probably wakes up screaming sometimes, reaching for his running shoes incase Ruiz comes back.

Even though Tyson never got off the floor to win a fight and struggled with fighters like Mitch Green to look good .He was the best around for a time.Ali would have out jabbed him tied him up and have had him looking bewildered with his speed and movement and would no doubt of won a big points D. or late stoppage.Sorry Josh well off the mark.Consider what cruiser weight Evander did to Tyson and you have a reasonable indication of what the great one would do to him.

Probably your brain is too damaged or too empty to comprehend what AJ was saying, that all you can utter is to childishly attack the messenger.

A true champ can lose a battle, adjust and win the war. So tell me, who's the only unified heavy weight champ of the world right now?

Tyson KO 1 AJ.

I can comprehend what AJ says. He’s a simpleton who no one has trouble understanding. He’s simply wrong and picking apart his logic would be child’s play for me so I’ll leave it to the next guy. And if you want to call hoping Ruiz eats himself out of the title making an adjustment, then okay.

Tyson would shock the world by outpointing Ali. He would float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
