If Ali and Tyson were fighting tomorrow night who would you bet on?

Peak Tyson is equal to a 4 years past-prime, slow-as-molasses, unmotivated alcoholic, very rusty Liston who had fought less than 2 rounds in the 2 years prior?

Don't get me wrong, it was a legendary & great win, but a moronic & horrible comparison to make.

 

Ali UD. Tyson has never had good stamina.

 

Ali all day long, taking out monsters was his thing.

 

Tyson.

 

Ali by either late stoppage or UD......

 

Hard one to judge. This is a real pick-em fight for me. I could see either guy winning. I tend to lean towards Tyson because I feel his style would cause Ali a lot of problems. Just think of the issues Frazier gave Ali.

 

Ali couldnt KO Frazier but somehow he is going to Ko Mike Tyson, who had better defense and a much better chin?
This ones going to the scorecards. I dont see a KO.
Mike Tyson never lost on the scorecards, if he concentrates on Alis body for the first few rounds, he could wear him down and take him out late or UD him.

Im gonna sit on the fence for this one. Anyone who says its an easy night for Ali, should be taken outside and shot

 

You are probably talking about the Mike Tyson Post Rooney 1990

Mike Tyson went full 12 rounds and won them all before losing to Douglas without gassing out

Try again you numnuts

 

According to some people, Tysons career seemed to have began in
a) in 1990 against Buster Douglas or
b) in 1995 against Peter Mcneeley

Anything he did before 1990 doesnt seem to exist

 

They are some credible human beings atsch

 

Tyson.

 

Ali 10 times out of 10

 

This is where you get off wrong. Frazier was an inside pressure fighter that heavily relied on his work-rate Tyson is a mid-range bomber. The idea is Frazier brings work-rate and unrelenting pressure for 15 rounds. Tyson can't do this and doesn't do this. He fades in fights. This is the sort of fallacy Tyson fans bring to make Tyson's case. And using that Ali is like using the Tyson from Holyfield. Just not truthful. I think Ali has to be the favorite with his psychological gamesmanship. I think he wins 6/10 times against Tyson. Tyson could catch Ali but he doesn't have the same body-work as Frazier. I think Ali's psyche and ability have him winning on points.

To understand distinctions here. Naturally, Tyson and Dempsey are more alike than Frazier and Marciano. Although they all have their differences. Some argue that the pressure in-fighting style is a worse style matchup for Ali.

By the way, Atlas and Rooney both picked a prime Ali to beat Tyson.

 

Ali

 

LOL who knows about tomorrow night.

But prime-for-prime, Ali wins by either a late stoppage or decision, 10-5 ish.
