I've seen some really good HL videos of Tyson and I'm not saying these are the best but many of the really good ones are known...and there are some new clips in these videos that I haven't seen others use. And it's still put together nicely. 1:17 in the sparring session was pretty cool to watch. Reminds me a bit of the McCall sparring session in Tokyo when he is fooling around.

All I can say is that if Mike Tyson was strong mentally he would've achieve more in boxing. The man was a beast in the ring. He had speed, power, reflex, defense, and endurance.

*Patiently awaits the first 'Mike in his prime was unbeatable, nobody would have beaten him, not even Ali' comment.
Not really much to say that hasn't been said about Mike; a tragic fall from grace, incredible natural talent, intriguing physical and mental aspects (the odd things he'd say contrasting to the startlingly candid and philosophical; his physical size and shape), achieved great things in the ring as well as some hideously embarrassing moments. An interesting man; i'm looking forward to meeting him in July
Mike in his prime was unbeatable, nobody would have beaten him, not even Ali or Foreman. :yep He is #1 of ALL Heavyweights.
I would favor Ali but I wouldn't favor a TKO 10 or a KO/TKO at all. Ali's had some trouble with fighters pre-exile as well. So let's not act like he was an invincible God either. Tyson I do think could trouble him a lot to the point he does have a solid chance to win more than some of the opponents Ali fought pre-exile. Tyson wasn't invincible either to clear that up. And we could expand those years for Tyson to '88 if someone wants to pick a year during his reign from Berbick to Spinks. '86 Tyson, since he won the title in that year despite being only 20, would only be fair to pit him against Ali in 64 when he beat Liston, which he was 22. So maybe even a 22 year old Clay/Ali vs. 22 year old Tyson which would take him past '86. Or even simply, "88 Tyson vs. '67 Ali. Last Great year for both. Although, maybe stick with '87. I think Robin entered in '88.
I LOVE Ali. But i just dont see it. Ali had tremendous problems with Frazier who also was fairly similar to Mike in some respects. H2H this is very hard as prime Ali is almost untouchable. But then again so was Mike..
