    No he doesn't. Holyfield had everything in the book, inside work, body punching, Ali had neither. Two totally different fighters.Holyfield would be a harder fight for Tyson imo !

    Ali was not a great inside fighter......Holyfield was a great inside fighter. Ali had better chin and defense but Holyfield had greater variation of punches. Seriously, I don't know how someone could watch Ali vs Fraizier and think is unfathomable for Tyson to beat Ali.

    If Ali could go the distance with Mike then he had a great chance to beat him. Tyson was very dangerous in the first 6 rounds.
    Ali could knock out Foreman who hit very hard and who was undefeated so why could not he do the same thing to Tyson?

    Tyson is his prime before Don King destroyed his career was awesome, much better than most know...............Cus died, so Kevin Rooney took over, but then Jimmy Jacobs died which was the fall of Tyson, Don King ticked him, made him thing that Bill Cayton was stealing from him, but instead we all know who stole from Tyson...............if he would have stayed with Kevin Rooney...........................

    Tyson didn't do enough in his prime to warrant me saying he could beat Ali, personally. He had a bully mentality and caved when it was put back onto him. Ali was a master of mind games, superior boxer and bigger guy too. Ali decisions him

    Foreman was exhausted v Ali, it wasn't a chin problem. Fresh George shook off the same punches no probs as Ali himself said ! Stamina issue imo
