Ali's speed was indeed a factor for scoring points!!However,Tyson in his prime could take a punch as well as dish them out., but you over estimate speed Shake. It's the same ole same ole.. Who would have one between Marciano and Ali? The computer fight between Marciano and Ali had Marciano as the winner.. Why is that Shake? If the critics went by what you say about speed, then the computer fight would have clearly had Ali as the winner. Tyson had more speed than Marciano but the experts say that "The Rock" would have beaten Ali in a 15 round bout. Mike Tyson had more speed than Marciano, and Marciano could have probably beaten Ali because of strength over speed,yet you think speed would have prevailed in a Tyson Ali fight? If Ali stood toe to toe with Tyson like he did with Frazier in their first fight..Tyson would have knocked Ali out!! Your!e too sure of yourself Shake. Trust me on this one!
They put the stats in and the computer did what it did.! You dont have to agree with me! Im telling from my own experience in boxing and my opinion that Tyson would have knocked out Ali.. PERIOD! And I am huge Ali FAN but it is what it is! Dont like? move on!
LOL. I hope you all don't box, because if you do or did its probably why you are on here argueing such a moot point!
Do you really not know about this? They made a film and shot several different endings to be shown in different areas, some versions Ali won. They just called it a "computer fight"
Even in 2009 we dont have computers that can predict the outcomes of upcoming fights. When we have that there will be no betting on boxing. 1969 ?
Dont worry it will never happen. Too many variables in boxing. A fighter could show up with a bad case of diareahha, is the computer going to detect that?
