1975 Manila Muhammad Ali VS 1988 Michael Tyson

[Foreman Hook]

The Rumble in the Concrete Jungle!

A 33 year old Ali of Manila, fighting a young 21 year old Tyson of Atlantic City, And this Superfight is in teh mecca of boxing Madison Square Garden in New York, for teh unified titles. Ali was 8 yrs past-prime in teh Thrilla, But he did TKO a relentless Smokin Joe. Will this Ali KO this Tyson? Ali has stamina, strength, heart, chin, toughness, ring iq, height, reach, weight advantages. Tyson has only speed And power advantages. Fight is only 12 Rounds, cos Tyson never did fight 15 Rounds in his life. Does Ali make Tyson get gassed extra quick, by leaning on him And pushing down proper hard on his chunky neck?? Will Ali keep Tyson safely on teh outside And off-balance with his long jab, like Douglas did? Does Ali win psychologically before teh fight with his baiting, taunts, verbal-bullying, mindgames And v.nasty insults?? I did guess a few funny things what Ali could say to mentally dent Tyson.

'I'm gonna jab, jab, jab that ghetto thug, till he looks like a ugly pug!'

'It's gonna be a corker, when i get the gangster, calling himself a New Yorker!'

'I'm gonna show that big dumb ape, there ain't nothing funny about rape!'

'I will be the mugger, when i fight that slugger!'


1975 Ali, 225lbs, 6'3, 80inch reach


VS

1988 Tyson, 216lbs, 5'10, 71inch reach



Foreman Hooooooooooooook!

I love the Ali rhymes,Hook

1975 was Ali's last year of greatness in the ring. He had enough left at this point,imo,to frustrate,outbox and eventually ko a prime Tyson. It would be very competitive for the first six rounds or so,but Tyson eventually gets frustrated,then outboxed,then get exhausted and would get rescued by the referee somewhere around the tenth.

XPERT fight prediction, i 100% agree m8.

Tyson wins 4/6 of teh first 6 Rounds, then he is frustrated, gassed And fucked.

Ali would find it so easy getting into Tyson's head before the fight too.

[Duodenum]

Ali had no great issues with the peek-a-boo when he dealt with Patterson 2X. His work rate in Manila was obscene, and Tyson didn't bring the same kind of pressure Frazier did. More than in any major fight of his career, Muhammad won Manila with his fists. Tyson would lose heart, and get beaten down. If this one somehow did go 12, there'd be no question about the UD in Ali's favor.

[lefthook31]

One for the ages. I dont think Ali ever faced a force as fast and hard punching as Tyson. It would be interesting, and even Ali admits Tyson would have given him his toughest fight ever. No walk in the park for either man.

[Goyourownway]

The largely stationary,near 34 year old Ali gets battered and stopped on his feet by a young phenom at his peak.

[PowerPuncher]

Prime for prime its close, Tyson beats this version, technically better, has the jab and left hook Ali had problems with, is the best puncher ALi would have ever faced and matches him for speed and the head movement to take away Ali's jab. Ali's dropping his hands and laying on the ropes isn't going to do him any favours against Prime Tyson especially the '75 version

With Rooney in the corner,tyson NEVER frustrated,NEVER !!!

He was never that tested under Rooney. Ali would certainly test him,and I remain convinced that Tyson would be all at sea,in consequence.

Good post ! Agreed......

But....maybe.....I think perhaps against a prime Tyson Ali wouldn´t fight like he did in Manilla...

He would be more mobile in the early rounds.
