    Even Tyson said Ali would be too much.

    Similiarity. I mean if may gets rattled then beat, everyone will say,. well he fell apart when he was eventually challenged. I do not buy into that school of thought.

    A young prime Tyson had a punchers chance at most. A bigger prime Foreman couldn't do it, I doubt a much smaller man than Frazier could catch a master boxer like Ali at his very best.

    Yea, but he was paying mad respect to the greatest. That is what any sensible fighter would do. At best its 50/50

    Prime Ali does to Tyson what Lewis did to him in more embarrassing fashion. Tyson's only hope is to catch Ali in the early rounds and finish him off.

    Ali is a sucker for left hooks (banks, cooper, frazier) and Mike packs one of the, if not the, most wicked left hooks that post has ever seen.

    Tyson, Atlas and Rooney need to pull there fingers out and teach Trainers how to train people, before all of Cus's methods die with them and we lose more secrets than we already have.

    Dude, Tyson was 45 yrs old in that fight. Not even a shadow.

    Agreed, it would a shame if that knowledge faded away like that.

    :huh Tyson was bigger then Frazier. A lot faster, and hit harder too. Styles make fights. Tyson's style is built to deal with outboxers like Ali.

    The Holmes fight with Tyson should be taken into account.

    I think Ali UD's Mike
    I think a prime Holmes knocks him out.
