    TBH I think prime Louis vs Tyson or prime Foreman vs Tyson would be much more entertaining fights. Ali Tyson seems like it would resemble Tyson Tucker. Too much spoiling. Marciano or Holyfield would be better Ali opponents.

    Because Prime Tyson was the GOAT indestructible warrior killing machine in his prime from '85-'88, couldn't be stopped by nobody except Puss Potato dying on him like a ***** and causing Tyson to become a ketamine addict that was brainwashed by Don King. But thats besides the point. Like i said Iron Mike's prime from '87-'88 knocks out any man or beast alive. Buster Douglas was a fluke, the Japanese poisoned Tyson's food and seduced him with mediocre looking hotel maids

    Prime Tyson '86-'88 knocks Ali out in round numero uno

    Are you down to exclusively making bait threads now?

    No I'm serious. Ali/Tyson IMO likely wouldn't be as exciting as most think

    I completely disagree. This would have been boxing's first billion dollar fight and if both men came to fight in their best condition and it didnt end early then the fans would get their money's worth.

    So you're really trying to say that Tyson is overrated here. Yeah maybe but probably no more than Ali is as well.

    Maybe with both of them been overrated here, it is a dream fight after all to find out not only who would win but mainly who is more overrated here?

    It may be a billion dollar fight but the two styles, I can't see how it'd be exciting unless Ali fought Tyson like he did Frazier. With Joe Louis or George Foreman fighting Tyson, fireworks are sure to ensue and someone ending up stretched on the canvas.

    To see how Ali’s speed would counter Tyson’s would be interesting to me, not to mention to see if Tyson mentally could not cave

    Louis-Liston
    Dempsey-Marciano
    Holmes-Foreman
    Bowe-Lewis
    Vitali-Wladimir

    ...are the greatest heavyweight matches in the non sleep paralysis world (although I do think Ali-Tyson would be mesmerizing).

    If the fight took place today you guys would be roasting Ali for the excessive clinching . And would be posting here how you hope Tyson wins . If Ali wasn't a past time fighter most of you wouldn't even acknowledge him and tell everyone he's no proven fighter until he proves it when his career is over. Lol

    If we're talking Ali/Williams vs Tyson/Spinks then I don't see what the big hub bub is. Ali would have made Mike look worse than Terrell and stopped him in 8 imo. Actually, after the fourth round Mike would have been easy pickings.

    It's possible a hook might have dropped Muhammad, though.

    Ali was SUPPOSED to look impressive vs Williams considering how literally shot he was. I think M Spinks would have looked impressive vs Williams also
