Talent wise Tyson was athe greatest HW ever

Nicely put.


I would actually give Tyson a better chance to beat Foreman than to beat Ali.

If one thing troubled Tyson, then it's clinchers who weren't afraid. Watch the Holyfield fight. Ali would clinch the hell out of Tyson early (legally or not), by the 6th, Tyson would submit to a slow and painful battering.

If one thing did not trouble Ali, then it was big punchers.


Yes, Tyson has more power than Frazier in a single punch. But how relevantis that? So did Foreman, Shavers, Liston, Foster (Mac) and perhaps a few others.

Frazier didn't beat Ali because of the power in his left hook. He beat Ali by pressuring Ali for 3 minutes over every single round, while keep throwing punches and making Ali uncomfortable. Tyson does not work that way.

from 00:04 to 00:19, rooney said tyson had the potential to become the greatest fighter ever, breaking marciano's record of 49-0, and probably go underfeated in his whole career to become the greatest fighter ever.

do you guys really believe it could've happen.?

 

LMFAO.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl *dies*.

 

I agree that Tyson had the most talent of all, but I disagree that he is H2H #1. I think there are a few guys in their prime that could take him.

 

:good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good :good IMO he's the most overrated of all time.

 

They are still trying to grasp the fact that he isn't champion or fighting anymore.

 

Like everyone else who grew up during the 80's and 90's, I was a big fan of Tyson's, and felt that he could have troubled or beaten a lot of all time great heavyweights. On the otherhand, I disagree with Popshot's claim that Tyson could knockout Muhammad Ali early. There's no ****in' way Mike's taking out Muhammad in any round. We're not talking about Carl Williams here. This was a guy who withstood and endured some of the toughest 15 round matches in the history of the divsion, and also survived the artilary of George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston and Earnie Shavers. He was never truly stopped, and was still getting in the ring with all time greats well into his late thirties. The best Tyson could hope for in this fight is to floor Ali a couple times enroute to a decision, but I wouldn't bet money on him to do it. Ali would have my vote for a win evertime, and if this match were scheduled for 15 rounds, then I think we can forget about Mike even coming close.

.....My $0.02.....

 

After reading these posts, I'm even more convinced that the Ali of 67' would handle Tyson and stop him in the last 3rd of the fight.

1) Too many guys lasted the distance with the peak Tyson
2) Tyson would get too frustrated with Ali's movement
3) Ali would whisper all kinds of damaging comments into Tyson's fragile psyche, not mentioning the pre-fight trash talk.
4) Ali would buzz Tyson with lightning combos thrown @ all angles.

Just watch Ali vs. Liston #1 and see how he moved around the ring, that would drive Tyson nuts.

 

Being a leader? So you're saying no one else sprouts the "Tyson is invincible" shite? Ha ha get real.

 

Yeah I think he deserves 10 points for originality. Especially for his cutting edge thoughts on Tyson koing Ali early
