Muhammad Ali (1967) Vs Mike Tyson (1988)

There is NO GUARENTEE that ANYONE in the history of the sport DEFINATELY beats a PRIME Mike Tyson. Therefore, YOU'RE an idiot. Tyson at his peak was an absolute killer and although I pick Ali '67 by close decision, it's with great trepidation!

And

That Foreman, Holyfield, Tyson story at the end makes you look ****in stupid!

 

no one that ever existed on this planet could beat an 88 tyson!

 

I think the fatter flat tooted version that fought foreman would kick the living **** out of ANY version of tyson..... let alone the 67' specimen..

ali didnt boxing for living...he FIGURED **** OUT..thats all he ever did..plan after plan..

and just like the others the young cocky ***** Ali would beat tyson mentally weeks before mikey wouldve even stepped in the ring..Ali would of made sure of that.. and make short work of tyson..

and made sure he looked good doing it too..

This debate will be going on as long as boxing is a relevant sport.

 

Tyson wins the first 3 rounds, Ali surviving the storm. Prime Ali's footwork and jab and not being afraid of Tyson would be something Tyson would not be accustomed to fighting against, so I think Tyson gets frustrated and starts making more mistakes, ignoring Ali's offense. If Tyson got on the inside, Ali would tie him up real fast, neutralizing Tyson's inside game. On the outside it's all Ali. It would be a tense battle through out, but even if Ali was losing rounds, he could go 15 rounds no problem. Decision for Ali, both had some of the best chins in HW history. Tyson might catch Ali with a flash ko, but he's not stopping or koing Ali. Holmes and Tillis tried to use Ali's style against Tyson, but neither of the 2 had the defense Ali had in his prime not even close.

 

:deal Good assessment.

 

This fight would have gone two ways:

1. Ali running all night
2. Ali holding all night

Either way fight is going the distance, both had great chins.

 

Tyson by ko, and a good one at that, would have swarmed him and banged him out, Tyson is a faster harder puncher than anyone Ali fought, brutal at his prime, pity he wasted himself

 

Yeah man stop smoking the crack. When Tyson was in his prime Ali was asked by numerous television presenters who would win if they had ever fought, he said Tyson, every time of asking, look at the interviews yourself he was serious to me. Do you really think Ali would say it if he didnt really think so? I doubt it somehow.

 

Ali by wide decision, or late TKO

 

This would be like Ali vs Foreman all over again

 

ali via one sided scholing leading to a late stoppage. i love tyson but ali ate guys like him for breakfast

 

I get the feeling that Ali would do better in his comeback form.... I mean he had a solid beard then. In his earlier days he did get dropped and its possible Tyson could take him out early. Id pick Ali but being realistic tyson does have that chance. If he doesnt stop him within the first 3 rounds he isnt winning.

 

I can see Tyson knocking Ali down twice but Ali still getting the UD

 

Great style match-up. I can't see Ali stopping Tyson. He'll either win by UD, or Tyson will get a stoppage at some point. I learn towards a Tyson KO. I just don't think Ali can keep him off of him long enough, and Tyson was a much bigger puncher then Frazier, and probably on par with George Foreman except he had a ton of speed and agility as well.
