Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: Muhammad Ali is The Greatest, I Wouldn't Beat Him

I wouldn't expect him to say anything less and I agree.

With much more power and more varied and extended combinations. Far better conditioned. Compare the bodies. Leagues apart. I mean LEAGUES apart.

Joe Frazier was an inside fighter, Mike was a mid range fighter. They were nothing alike.

Tyson has a chance but the money would have to be on Ali .....but full praise for mike remaining humble and giving praise to one of his boxing idols.
Mike is also great in that interview with sugar ray leonard and showed true integrity

Ali would have had some serious problems with 20 year old Mike Tyson! He had great balancd, speed, power, elusive, quickess, agility... Cus created a monster! If cus would've been alive when Mike fought Ali.. It would've been all over in the first round. Ali woulda been asleep. Lol.

No Mike you were the greatest. In my mind and most others you would have blown away ALI. You was a monster !!!! Best ever.

Ali jr sounds like a douche

I thought the same but you have to realize Ali is his father, and he passed away. He probably said those things while feeling that his fathers name is being dragged through the mud while he’s gone.

His father went through a lot, inside and outside of the ring, fought through a bunch of 15 rounders, fought through racism, etc. So yeah when you tell his son that Tyson would beat Ali, you should expect a strong response. Although calling Tyson a street fighter wasn’t nice.

Who did Tyson fight in his prime that was close to Ali? Tyson never fought anyone as good or better than Ali.

Ali had to deal with a young prime George Foreman and beat him.

I suppose he things the showing against Tillis is the reason he takes that stance....

Ali hands down ..Tyson had problems with a way over the hill out of shape Holmes who was controlling him with his jab until he understandably got caught in the 4th round ..what took so long ?...and don't give that crap he wanted to punish him ... check the fight out and tell me different

[tokon]

Because tyson wasn’t as good as Frazier. Mike Tyson probably hit harder than Frazier but that’s where it ends. Everything tyson did otherwise, Frazier did it better....including having a stronger mentality to deal with adversity. Frazier was as good in the 15th round as he was in the 1st.

Great post! Frazier underated by a lot of younger boxing fans imo. Thanks.
