Prime Ali vs Prime Tyson?

that was a massive, massive, massive shot though

 

The absolute best version of each guy. I think tyson knocks him out and early. Yes i know, Ali handled big george in africa at 100 degrees, outdoors etc etc.

But, George was a very sloppy, slow puncher. A lot of those punches foreman was just winging were being blocked. Tyson was so much, so much faster than Foreman.

Imagine Frazier with faster hands and more power and equivalent or better movement. Tyson would win this on a styles match up.

 

early?

 

Tyson has the tools to give Ali problems, unfortunately Ali is the type of guy who would give Tyson more than he could handle, a fast moving boxer with great footwork, speed and good height. Ali wins a clear UD here.

 

Joe Frazier did NOT fight the BEST version of Ali. He fought Ali after Ali had been banned for 3 years, 67 Ali whoops Frazier with very little trouble, now Tyson would have a chance against the Ali that lost to Frazier BUT that is NOT Prime Ali. BTW Ali No version of Tyson would ever KO a decent version of Ali early.

 

Yes, a prime Tyson, the same guy who fought berbick. honestly, I cant imagine anyone standing up to that kind of assault.

 

he was a monster but I don't see him hitting prime Ali like he hit Berbick

 

You can hold your breath about what is the "prime" version of ali however you want. 1967 or 1971 or the 1964 liston version. He has a style, he was uniform in that style through all those years.

Frazier is the type of guy who matched up well versus Ali from a styles perspective. Tyson on his best day was considerably better than Frazier in most aspects. This is not the best style match up for Ali. But, everyone over rates Ali like he is unbeatable because that is what he told everyone.

 

Yah why? who did Ali fight that didnt catch him? A lot of guys with a lot less ability than one of the most, if not the most, ferocious fihgters in the history of the HW division.

 

Tyson wasn't so dangerous when a guy could spoil, Don Halpin, Mike Jameson, James Tillis all gave early Tyson problems with spoiling tactics, his concentration went to **** when a guy wasn't standing in front of him.

 

atsch:rofl the general forum is really a joke

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
kill yourself

 

Absolute Prime Tyson Tko11 Absolute Prime Ali.

Every time they fight, there would most likely be a different outcome/winner.

Would be an awesome matchup no matter who won it, thats for sure.

 

kid... tell me when a prime ali faced joe frazier... maybe in your dreams?:rofl:roflatsch

 

No I don't overrate Ali, nor do I underrate Tyson like alot of others, but I've watched fast fighters with good work trouble him, Ali not only has fast feet, but a great jab and a granite chin to go along with that.

By the way saying Ali is the same fighter he was after the ban is almost like saying Tyson was same fighter after jail.
