What's so great about outjabbing Tucker ? Which great boxers did Tucker ever outclass, outbox, outjab ? Tucker's best win is against Douglas, and that was an even fight up until the stoppage.
Tyson was faster than Foreman and Frazier, that has got to trouble Ali plus I am not sure Ali can take Tysons power as easy as Ali fans are saying yes sure its possible Ali kills him, however, I think that it comes down to when Tyson lands how does Ali take it? Tyson in his prime is going to land eventually, I don't mean glancing blows, I mean with a serious blow, if Ali walks right through that as Holy did then I say Ali will probably win, if Ali is the least bit stunned Tyson finish him soon thereafter, Its not impossible to think Ali gets wobbled from a guy like Tyson. Tyson had very fast hands with a lot of power, a better combination than any others that had come before him.
If Henry Cooper can virtually KO Ali, Tyson has a massive chance. He combinations and hand speed could match Ali, I say Tyson kos Ali...
The flip side of that, is Ali took Foreman's best shots for multiple rounds and never went down. I doubt Tyson's hitting Ali harder than a prime Foreman.
Ali via decision over 12 or maybe a late stoppage in a 15 rounder. While Tyson bore some similarities to the types of fighters who troubled Ali, he didn't have the drive to keep it up for a full evening. Muhammad's weakness for men who could slip the jab and come up with a ripping left hook would be evident in the early rounds, possibly leading to him hitting the deck and temporarily falling behind on points. But Ali was an adaptor, survivor and master technician. By the mid rounds he begins to take over as Tyson fades and Ali's confidence and "A" game come into play. By about round 11, two out of three judges have him slightly ahead while the third has it about even.. Buy the end of the 12th he secures a close but comfortable win on the cards.
Ali wont stop Tyson . I don't see it happening . Unless Mike completely gasses out which rarely ever happened in his career . Ali beats him up and wins on points . He will show respect for Mike speed and explosiveness early .
whilst champ, save with douglas, he always did keep it up. but he was unable to ko opponents who were running to survive and exceptionally capable of doing that.
