    Too horrible to think of.
    May as well ask who wins between Ali and Frazier when they were post 60.
    One with parkinsons , one with slurred speech , both with debateable but clear levels of brain damage !

    Ali was physically beyond shot by then.

    Tyson still had his physical abilities speed and power at age 38 but mentally was spent. BTW why the hell was he facing the biggest two fighters (size or weight wise) for his last fight? He should have been in there with Etienne type of fighters and not giants like McBride or 260lbs+ guys like Williams.

    Who cares. Only a sadist would care about such a matchup

    While you're at it,

    Let's envision the Matthew Saad Muhammad who fought Andrew Maynard v. The Roy Jones who is still fighting.

    I guess they had a choice between matching him against big limited fighters, or smaller ones who were actually good.

    In the end neither was likely to work.

    Was Berbick holding back against Ali?

    I don't believe Berbick was holding back. He seemed to be going all out except for when the pace slowed up during a few moments.


    In a sad and very slow paced fight,Ali wins a decision.

    Why not Ali vs Frazier 4 in 1982. I'm sure Frazier would have wanted it.
