    Yeh your right when ali got up from the knockdown almost immediately, his legs were gone and he was doing the chicken dance. Funny how nobody ever saw it ha

    Tyson would have have been disqualified anyway if he'd have beaten the count against Douglas, for carrying a dangerous weapon..... His gumshield!!!

    Tyson also claimed that he would eat Lennox Lewis' children, who weren't born yet. I'll go based off of concrete evidence.

    Ali is kryptonite to Tyson. Tyson has to get him out of there early, and that's a tall order. Who sees Ali losing within five rounds?

    The freshest Ali he might be able to beat is the one only just coming back from the layoff with the ring rust.

    After that, it's difficult. Ali wasn't always at his best. He was hard as nails for the Foreman fight, but not so much for the Chuck Wepner's and Joe Bugners.

    If Ali knows what he's facing and trains to his utmost, Tyson will take him after Manilla.

    When Ali knew he was in with a killer he fought at his best, when he fought Foreman the fear brought out the best in him.

    What version COULD he beat? Any version. Tyson hit likes a mofo and the right shot in the right place will knock out anyone.

    I think I would favour Tyson over any version of Ali from exile onwards.
