    :think Could we asses Ali's performance against him as an hypothetical scenario of a Ali-Tyson fight? Or was his peek-a-boo style still limited compared to Tyson's?

    I am the end all be all of this thread.

    Your Answer is: Yes. Patterson Could tie combinations together faster than tyson, he also incorporated his jab into the combos, more often than tyson did.

    I will admit though that Tyson's peekaboo was more complete than Pattersons because Tyson would utilize his legs more and Bob, and well as weave. While Pattersons mostly relied on the weaving.

    Ali would beat Prime Tyson but Tyson was a harder hitter,faster and had a better chin than Patterson. Mike's entire trunk could twist that fast which is part of the reason for the power.
    Ali beats Mike by late TKO

    Patterson was faster but he would've been KTFO Spinks-style.

    that flurry from Ali came after he hit Patterson with a clean uppercut, so if Tyson was hurt, hell yeah

    with cus d amato in his corner and kevin rooney tyson would be able to fight ali.

    the tyson that fought spinks gives ali a hell of a fight.
