    Ali won every round against Foreman. Styles make fights and Ali is all wrong for Tyson. Footwork, speed, durability, strength, will, ring generalship. Ali late stoppage.

    As for Jones v Tyson. Tyson by brutal stoppage in the first round.

    Tyson ko 1, possibly with a jab. Tyson in his prime was good at cutting off the ring and of course very quick to close the gap. I personally don't think Jones' footwork was the best, fast on his feet yes, great reflexes yes but for a fighter with his style he was caught on the ropes more often than he should have been-obvious result in a fight with Tyson.

    Remember what Tyson did to one of the all time best Light heavyweights and unbeaten Michael Spinks?

    No one beat Ali when he was in his prime. Liston just had his most impressive couple of wins in his career before facing Ali. So what if Norton had 7 losses in his career!? Patterson could have been a cruiserweight by todays standard but then Ali wasn't the heaviest in his early career - just the change of times.

    Tyson would have put Jones into the hospital.

    Tyson in his prime would blow roy jones away because nobody could handle the ferociousness of tysons punches.
