    If he got hit by a hook from Tyson clean like that.
    Sorry man but Ali wouldn't be just knocked down.

    You mean the verbal abuse he gave inside the ring?

    That isn't allowed, and Ali got warned for it.

    How about biting off Ali's ear? An old school cat like Ali wouldn't be so forgiving like Holyfield. :lol:

    thats simply not true.

    Frazier and Tyson hit with similar power.

    Ali had the best recup powers I seen in a HW.

    Tyson was more powerful than Frazier but Ali had a diamond chin

    Ali could be hurt.. Its not just tysons power that would KO him it would be the speed, sharpness and relentlessness . He never fought a puncher like mike.

    Ali batters Tyson late. Forces a stoppage.

    Tyson's too quick, elusive, and powerful. KO inside seven.

    Tyson is faster, naturally a heavier guy than frazier he hit much harder.
    Tyson was all around the better boxer and he had a better chin than frazier.

    Also Tyson wasn't handicapped like frazier (who was blind in the left eye)

    tyson was a bit faster yes, and had more angles that gave the impression of more speed too.

    frazier has an awesome KO record too comparable with tyson, which suggests he stopped people as well as tyson did. I guess I cant guage strength anymore than that, though I'll concede he weighed a little less than Mike so theres that.

    frazier wasnt handicapped by his knob, mind you (not you, I mean Tyson was lol dont worry I dont get personal).

    I'll always believe this:

    Prime Mike Tyson beats anything you put in front of him.

    As far as Ali is concerned, Tyson was basically Joe Frazier genetically combined with Godzilla. A "similar" style & aggression, but faster, stronger, better defense...

    Ali, while massivley talented, relied on a whole lotta' bull**** to get through most of his tough fights, and Prime Mike didn't do BS. He just came at you and got it done.

    Ali beat many great fighters.

    Tyson never beat even one great fighter.

    Next silly question.

    So many Tyson haters around, it seems the cool thing to do these days. Tyson was capable of knocking out anyone at prime as it was proven.
