    Frazier knocked down unshaped Ali after 2 years layoff and when that KO came?
    That's right in round 15th!Mike Tyson would be gassed after 5 rounds but after 15?How many people he knocked after 6 rounds?Zero!
    Tyson could not wear Ali down and could not take Ali early!
    Foreman/Tyson are stronger,not more skilled but bigger which is even better advantage and didn't ko Ali early so not even Tyson wouldn't!Patterson was faster and more skilled than Tyson still couldn't lay a glove on Ali.
    Ali wore him down worse than Buster did.

    Ali never makes to the latter rounds.
    Patterson was not more skilled than Tyson and he did not hit harder. Plus his back was injured when he faced Ali in 65.

    Most of any Experts or people who were around Tyson and
    Cus D’Amato (Teddy Atlas , Floyd Patterson , José Torres) all 3 and
    even Kevin Rooney pick Ali.

    In this case you can´t pick Tyson.

    I don't put my opinion above these people.

    Are you sure you can't find any more excuses for Tyson?

    What's the conditions for the fight? Does Tyson have Rooney, his favourite black shoes and the moon in the proper position? Because in that case only a prime Godzilla beats him.

    Seriously, though, I think you can make a case for both. I am worried by Ali's low right for that left hook, though. It should also be said that Tyson was primed for facing guys with a similar style to Ali's.

    People don't factor Ali's clinching tactics which would be really tough to overcome for Tyson.

    Very difficult whenever I think about it. I would probably go with Ali by a close decision in a 15 rounder, Tyson by a hair in 12 possibly in a 6-6 fight where a KD with a lead left hook making the difference.

    Ali never makes to the later rounds?
    So he survived Shavers-bigger power/size than Tysom
    Foreman-bigger,harder puncher and 5 times stronger with size
    Liston-the scariest boxer with 84 inch reach and also bigger punch/size than Tyson?
    He survived them amd would Tyson much easier because Tyson is not close enough to their size/strenght!
    Patterson was alot skilled and even more than Tyson which Cus even said!Maybe even he didn't hit as hard as Tyson but was more agile with faster hands,better stamina and better overall bobbing and weaving!Patterson according to Cus,Rooney and Torres is second fastest HW after Ali and alot faster than Tyson.Yes he hurt his back and Ali just toyed woth him amd carried him because he liked him!Ali could finish that inside of 4 rounds.
    Ali beat Patterson again in 1970s when Ali was fat,past his best and outshaped.

    Nope he just said that Ali would beat Tyson like Douglas did because Rooney sae what Tucker and Douglas did.
    He said also that Marciano and Foreman would beat Tyson.
    Cus also mentioned Ali,Louis,Marciano and Foreman beating Tyson!

    Did you not know that Mike Tyson is like the second coming of Christ himself, Ha Ha, Lol. Ali was the greatest. A grown man needs an old man to hold his hand like a 5 year old or he loses, oh brother. Ali never or hardly listened to his corner. We should go now to wrestle JAWS, Ha Ha.
