    Which then in turn proves...Tyson had a much better defence than Ali considering he was easier to hit than Ali

    I gree with you combat. Ali was miles more elusive than Tyson, but I disagree with you about him taking voluntary body shots from Chuvalo. I can see where you are coming from because Ali tried to knock Chuvalo out early in 66, throwing quite a few punches in the early rounds and couldn't do it of course. I think he got a little bit playful with Chuvalo perhaps realizing after the early rounds that Chuvalo wasn't going to quit. Ali went to the hospital after the fight pissing blood, so whether he was allowing George to hit him freely or testing his resolve to give the fans their money's worth was debatable.

    well, ali took some blows from chuvalo voluntarily, you can see it, ali is provoking him and he is talking to chuvalo. Obviously he did not take every shot voluntary during the fight, you are right.

    This would be the best way to explain both their primes.
