how a prime tyson vs prime ali would play out...i'll take some $hit for this but i think tyson by ko..hmm are maybe ali on points..hmmm need to think some more..thoughts?:huh
Ali would pick Tyson apart after 3-4 rounds Tyson would start to get desperate long about 9-10 rd and he would be on the deck KO Ali wins.
ali more then likely wins but he could wind up getting dropped some where in the fight, especially in the early rds. tyson was always a fast starter
Ali beats him everyday of the week including sundays Honestly why is Tyson so overated, He lost to the first fighter that had a decent jab.... If Buster Douglas could pick him off with his jab all night, what do you think Ali would have done with his !!!
nah, u make it sound way more simple then that. tyson that fought douglas would have lost to alot of fighters. he was just terrible that night. thats what happens when a figheter ego gets outta control. tyson poses alot of problems for ali and just about any other heavyweight. some of you ahve seem to forgot just how rare a talent was tyson was despite all his oother shortcomings.
Tyson was still in his prime when Douglas beat him. The formula to beat Tyson, which Douglas figured out, was to survive the early rounds, wear Tyson down, then take him out. Ali was a master at this (Foreman). Ali woud let Tyson punch himself out early, the knock him out late in the fight (probably 10 or 11 rounds).
foreman and tyson are two different fighters. if you want to compare anybody to tyson that fought ali, then you would compare frazier, and frazier is the first man to beat ali.
Douglas didn't figure out anything. He just fought well, stayed focused and used his jab plus he got up from the KD. He didn't figure out anything.
I agree and disagree. Perhaps they (Tyson/Frazier) were more similar in regards to style, but not stamina. Frazier was a beast through the whole fight. Tyson's losses were all because after he got tired, the opponent would just beat him up.
after taking a beating, yea, but in terms of styles, tyson poses alot of problems for ali. tyson may not have lasted as long as frazier, but he could certianly rock ali and even put him on the canvas. but the most sensible scenario is that he gets up and boxes his way to a decision or late stoppage.
I'd go with Ali. Beat a unstoppable monster in Liston Did the same 10yrs later in Foreman. One thing Ali had loads of that Tyson didn't, Heart!
