Would you rather have Prime Mike Tyson or Prime Muhammad Ali Today?

I'd rather have prime SRL or Hearns to see them utterly decimate the WW division. Floyd would evacuate in his shorts.

 

Muhammad Ali

 

Ali, no doubt. Ali was an artist and made boxing beautiful to watch. Like watching a deadly dance, Tyson made boxing brutal and ugly. Like watching a hungry pit bull in a meat wagon. Ali! Ali! Ali!

 

Prime Ali. The best fighter the world ever produced!

 

Tyson, easily.

Followed by Holyfield.

 

This is really tough.


Ali had all the tools (ring-smarts, confidence, chin, speed, skillset, defense) to whip anyone's ass today. Put him on a more modern training regiment (juice) and you would have a 6'3" 225lb. monster. Plus he would be pure comedic gold at any press conferences. Can you see him sitting across from Wlad or Haye in the HBO studio?


Tyson is also a good pick. He is also a ****ing madman out of the ring. Never know what you'll get. I don't even know if they could even film a face-off with that fool. How much security are they gonna need if this fool snaps. I sure as hell wouldn't be doing the interview. And his style would be pure ****ing hell for anyone we have today. Has anyone actually paid attention to his head movement, footspeed and defense as he fought his way inside taller fighters?


Then there's Tommy... SRL might box some people's ears off... but if you unleashed Hearns on the current 147 and 154 division, every fight would end in a KO... like he did back then up intil the SRL fight. Floyd would have no ****ing excuse... because Hearns would be just as big of a draw, if not bigger... Roach would have kept Pac under 140 (a clear 2 division south of the monster) Plus, he would have retired Oscar long ago.


Then you got Roy. I think he would probably run through everything from 160-175 without much of a challenge. And he would do it in exciting fashion. He would definitely make boxing a little more mainstream (at least from where I sit)


I think I take Hearns (with the jheri curl) just to clean out two entire divisions and to rid us of this burdensome Pac-Floyd catfight.

 

Tyson no doubt.

 

Voted for Ali, but can't argue with this. The sight of a prime Tyson would cause Wlad to **** himself.

 

Tyson, he was hardly in any boring fights.

 

You mean the kickboxer currently in prison? Has he even had a pro fight yet?

 

It's hard to say.

Tyson would electrify the heavyweight division initially, better than Ali could I think. And thats what boxing needs now, somebody just to clear up the **** and get people talking again, and nobody would do that better than Tyson at first.

But I'd still go with Ali I think, Tyson was the more exciting fighter in the ring but that apart Ali has pretty much got it all.

 

Tyson is this a ****ing question? LOL prime?

 

Ali would adapt and literally school everyone today. Tyson would ko everyone with the exception of Vitali, but wins a decision.

 

I'm a way bigger fan of Ali's but boxing could definetly benefit from Tysons savagery right now, it'd steal back millions of casuals from MMA that enjoy brutality over the sweet science despite Tyson being profficient at both at the same time.

 

Prime Ali was never boring, he was unbeatable. Dancing or flatfooted, you watched. Poetry in motion.
