    Hey, I think larry is most under rated heavy ever, im a huge fan of his, thats why i think it was crazy he put him away so fast. but people will NEVER give tyson the credit for that one. as for larry, i would LOVE to c prime holmes vs prime tyson. who knows on that one

    eh it was a good win. i mean larry did go on t o beat ray mercer if i remember his career right but he was comin off a two year lay off. he weighed more than he ever did at that point an you could clearly see he wasnt larry of old. i loved when he pulled the old larry out fpr one round an actually win the round. it was a good win especially since larry fouht for awhile and was competative in just about every fight after

    You really are living in fantasy land.I'm Ali's biggest fan,but i also love Tyson and believe particularily early on that he could give Ali trouble.Tyson had fast hands and this would be something that would possibly be a problem to Ali,who always had the advantage in hand speed with anyone.The thing is however Tyson despite being short in stature wasn't a great infighter,Ali would simply tie him up in there and do what he liked.Frazier who was a great swarmer and the best infighter of any heavyweight gave Ali all the trouble he could handle on the inside,Tyson would never be able to do that,all his best power punches were thrown from mid range.
    Ali also had a great chin,took the best punches from Foreman,Shavers,Liston,Frazier,Bonavena,Lyle and until the Holmes fight when he was a shell,was never stopped.
    Sorry but Iron Mike would simply go the way of all the others and be out smarted in there by a wide UD or stopped late.

    Not too difficult to call this one.

    Ali was the master at winning the fight before the match even began.

    I like Mike, but his mind is far too fragile to withstand Ali's pre-fight psych-war. By the time they stepped into the ring Tyson's mind would have belonged to Ali.

    u could say the same about tyson, everyone knows that his opponents were defeated before they got in the ring, from pure fear

    and look, i know its not the mainstream thinking that tyson beats ali, i know ali IS official the greatest. Listen to this my friends.....

    If FRAZIER could give ali that much hell,,,,,just think for a second,,,,,look how much better,faster,stronger,smarter tyson was than frazier!!!!!!!

    CASE CLOSED!! I JUST NOW REALIZED THIS!! FRAZIER WOOPED ALI THE FIRST TIME, THE THIRD TIME ALI WAS GETTING READY TO QUIT ON HIS STOOL WHEN THEY STOPPED THE FIGHT, NOW IF YOUR TELLING ME A PRIME TYSON WOULDNT HAVE DONE BETTER THAN A SLOW CLUMSY FRAZIER,,,,YOUR CRAZY!!!!! TYSON WOULD HAVE DESTROYED HIM, AND BY THE WAY,, LOOK AT WHAT FOREMAN DID TO FRAZIER,, FRAZIER LOOKED LIKE A TOMATO CAN
