    So in this one Ali has another identical set of arms over his usual ones, so 2 sets of shoulders. He is fully versed in using them, can block, throw many shots at once, has the same coordination, control & timing as at his peak.
    Could tuck much of his face behind top shoulders.

    Tyson is the same but is 7' tall & has 1/3 more power with all punches.
    This would in all liklihood make him the hardest hitter ever.
    he would look a bit like T-rex, arms still his current length.
    Would be able to punch down on most everybody though.

    Can Ali's constantly flying or obstructing appendages offset Tyson crashing through everything?

    For those of you not comatose with incredulity yet---> Who wins if you REVERSE the gifts, & Ali has the additinal height & power, & Tyson unprecedented extra arms & shoulders?
    Would the peek-a-boo prevent enough damage, & could late '60's Ali take the skills & speed of Tyson with even greater power than he encountered with Foreman & Shavers?

    Easy, the four armed guy seven days a week. Imagine the clinches, this guy would be able to hold and hit like no other!

    I pick 4 armed ali, the double treble jab would be like a machine gun.

    4 armed Ali's defence would be unpenetrable, but with Tyson being 7ft tall and with Ali's reluctance to go to the body he might not be able to reach Tyson's chin, very interesting fight.

    Finally, a thread of actual importance!

    My guess is Tyson wins both scenarios. There's simply no getting around the ridiculous amount of added power. The extra arms likely boost his connects enough to damage or decision Ali.

    Very difficult to land with tyrannosaurus arms, though. I'll have to do more research.

    I refuse to take this thread seriously until we consider the ramifications of Tyson with 33.7% more power. As it reads currently, the argument is ridiculous.

    This changed my life.

    Four arms is one too many for tyson. But he can take out anyone with punch. Had his arms been increased as well i would pick him.

    BE i said it there and I'll say it again. I've heard it from a friend of my uncle's cousin that knew the brother of the psychiatrist of Cus D'Amato's neighbors cat's owner that he did say those things.
