    I remember watching this. Even Tyson said Ali was the greatest.

    well if you really want a reason... Tyson would have trouble catching a prime Ali with anything clean, and Ali could take a punch as well as any heavyweight in history. Ali was great at tying up if Tyson did manage to corner him too. I don't think there's a heavyweight in history that beats 1968 Ali and it's possible that wasn't even the best Ali there could have been.

    Ali stays outside, dances for 15 rounds, peppers Mike with the jab - right cross all night and takes a decision if he doesn't stop him late.

    Ali had serious problems with Frazier. Tyson is like Joe Frazier on Stereoids..

    People forgot about what a mashine Tyson was in his Prime. Ali is the smartest boxer in Heyweight History but Tyson takes this one..

    A past prime Ali coming off a three year layoff. We're talking about a prime, active Ali.

    At the same time, lets not forget that Ali got knocked down and nearly out by a single shot... and the bit about Dundee tearing the glove to buy time... and that was from a MUCH lesser foe than Tyson.
