    Both on their prime. Who would win and why?

    Ali would make a fool of Tyson.

    Ali wins by late KO, Tyson does not even win one round.

    Ali. If Holyfield can out box and beat Tyson, not once, but twice, Ali could, too.

    And don't give me that Tyson was past his prime when Holy got him nonsense. Holy hammered a fit, prepared, young, and ready Tyson, twice..........period.

    negative, tyson was ruined after the buster douglas fight, not to mention was coming off 3 years in prison. the tyson that beat berbick, spinks, holmes etc., would give ali all he could handle. period.

    He said prime. Ali dances and jabs all night frustrating Tyson, Ali will no doubt get hit and take punishment, but he has the chin and skills to minimise it. Tyson becomes disheartened like he always does when things aren't going well and probably turns what would have been a points loss in to a late stoppage.

    Prime Cassius Clay, prime Mike Tyson, Clay 2 out of 3.

    Prime Ali vs Prime Tyson, Tyson 2 out of 3.

    Even Ali admits Tyson could have/would have beat him. And this is coming straight from Ali's big mouth:

    Joe only beat Ali once when Ali was coming off a 4 year ban from boxing. Ali was very rusty and not even close to being in top shape.


    Funny how the Tyson fans forget this but will make up every excuse in the book for a fighter who lost to every great fighter he faced....plus a few bums.

    Tysons prime ended after Spinx............As for Ali his prime was never seen only partially because then the 3 year ban came..But from the level of competition and knowing what we know now about each one id say Ali beats him 7 out of 10 times on the 3 times he loses Ali has the flu

    Ali over Tyson by late KO.. Ali has a much longer arm advantage and would outbox Tyson every round.. Tyson would get hammered everytime he would come in.. Hell, Ali would be taunting him the whole fight probably :yep

    Ali might say that now, but if they were fighting, Ali would say he'd knock that tattoo off his face..

    Ali in my opinion has trouble with mike..He's like Frazier or patterson..But with wayyyy better defence power and is just as fast as patterson basically

    That's true. :yep I wonder how Tyson would have taken being called a gorilla by Ali. I don't think Tyson would have kept his cool like Joe used to. :lol:

    Why the **** are you resorting to childish name calling. I was merely pointing out it's a prime for prime match up. It's ****s like you that destroy this forum, a new one every day. Talk like that in real life and you wouldn't survive. But keep at it you will learn your lesson one day.
