    I am going to have to go with Tyson here.. This in my eyes is Tyson at his absolute peak, or at least very close to it, he may have been a little sharper in maybe the Spinks fight or maybe Biggs, your choice but regardless this was Mike during his "Prime"... I don't see this Ali beating this Tyson

    Mike will find a home to Ali's body and head in this one, this Ali didn't move all that well on his toes and he would lay on the ropes and absorb his opponents punches and then spring off with his own wicked combos.. I think Tyson will brutalize the Ali body as Ali lays on the ropes.. And he will drive hard uppercuts through the middle of the Muhammad Defense..

    I don't see him stopping Ali as I think he is pretty much KO or stoppage proof, I actually picked Muhammad Ali to win by Dec in the poll since he had a knack for winning decisions that he may have actually lost.. I see Tyson getting the better of Ali but Ali I think will still have the cards.. But if we are to throw out intangibles like the judges love affair with Ali then I say Tyson wins a Dec....

    Agreed Hook :good Tyson would have been in most people's all time top 5 list of heavyweights if his mentality went with his physicality.

    1975 Ali would get smashed by a peaking Tyson had they fought. Ali barely, barely squeaked past a washed up Joe Frazier.

    :huh That's an exaggeration. those last few rounds were one sided and most of the time Ali was swamping Frazier with right hands and combos

    That is a myth,imo. Ali was a fair bit in front,points wise,at the time of stoppage.

    This was the Ali who'd just stopped the previously invincible George Foreman. How many all time greats in heavyweight boxing history,before or since,could have beaten George on that night in Zaire ?

    'The beast who's all muscle-mass, is gonna get put on his ass!'

    'That big dumb palooka is gonna need a bazooka, if he wants to hurt Muhammad Ali!'

    'PHANTOM-PUNCH! they will shout, when i score a clean knockout!'

    'That man's got two left feet, and i'm gonna be dancing, to make it look like he's slipping on sleet!'
