I done a recent poll Prime Tyson vs Prime Lewis and the majority leaned towards tyson....so how about this one?
I remember watching this. Even Tyson said Ali was the greatest. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki4UKsI8bms[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMfZ86oUcSI[/ame]
Even Ali said he was afraid of Tyson:yep. Seriously though, Ali wins. Tyson is a physical beast but Ali would frustrate him way too much and pick him off with a jab
yea ali, but just cuz tyson said it don't mean its always true.... i bet if manny and oscar were on the same show manny would say oscar is greater even though manny whipped the gay boys ass....just being a good humble champion
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..
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.
