:deal Ali may have been "the greatest" ... but beating a prime "Iron" Mike Tyson would NOT have been a cake-walk for him, by any stretch.
Ali!!!!!!! Ali had it all height, reach, quickness, jab and chin which would have been to much for a game Tyson.
Although tysons my favourite fighter of all time, in light of this, but the odds are heavily against Mike on this one, its a stylistic nighmare, but he does have a chance with his punch & lesser opponents have gone the distance & Mike will always be dangerous at any stage in the fight, as seen against douglas, however the fact that ALi wont be intimadated my Mike will play in my opinon a key factor in the result, ALI UD although i'd prefer watching tyson anyday...
Head to head Tyson beats **** out of Ali, even at primes. Tyson had better hand speed, and threw fast with power. Ali had benefit of refs on his side all the time, Tyson didn't.
If Ali survived the first rounds, he would win.. But Ali has way better wins than Tyson, and that's what matters not f*cking height and his trainers... it's bull**** when we talk about ATG
This, and it wasn't like he was feather fisted. He was by no means a big puncher but had real pop and sting in that jab and straight right
Ali has one of the greatest chins of all times. foreman couldn't KO him and Mike would struggle aswell. Not to mention Ali ain't afraid of no one and has the mental edge by a country mile. He could chat **** about Tyson all day and still look like the good guy. Ali by UD but Tyson would look pretty good early on But yer he got special treatment from refs and judges in my eyes. One judge didn't even give foreman a round in the rumble in the jungle
