    I think it you who knows nothing about boxing.Ali is generally considered no 1 or no 2 greatest heavyweight of all time.Tyson is anywhere from 5 to 10. Fact.

    For as much things Tyson did/was better at than Joe (Power, Chin, Handspeed, Two Fisted attack, etc..)
    I don't see him sustaining his motor for 15 as Frazier did, and (not for a lack of trying), I don't see him getting Ali outta there quick enough that his lesser gas tank doesn't come into play.

    Tyson was more powerful and two-fisted than Frazier.

    What a stupid response. It's irrelevant where they rank in terms of greatness, that has no bearing whatsoever on who'd win h2h.
    Louis is also widely regarded as no. 1 or no. 2 all time in terms of greatness, yet he'd get beat by many ATGs that rank beneath him.
    I repeat, styles make fights.

    He was also faster and way more skilled.

    He doesn't need to sustain his motor for 15, it's only gonna be a 12 round fight. And Tyson will get Ali out of there by the 6th.

    Now you are being silly.The original post was who was the greatest pound for pound not h2h.Ali is so much better than Tyson is almost laughable.According to you no matter how great fighter is has no relevance when ranking pound for pound? Complete nonsense

    Ali is not better than Tyson. Greater yes, but not better.

    For Ali to be better he'd have to beat him h2h, which he ain't doing.

    Tyson was the most skilled heavyweight in history and a better combo puncher than Ali.
