    No way tyson beat Ali who fought cleveland, zora, liston II

    It's not even debate.

    More fair is disscussion Tyson VS Lewis, Tyson VS Holyfield, & VS Liston IMHO.

    Lewis also said hitting Tyson was like hitting an oak tree.

    Yeah because those opponents are the benchmark for if one would beat a young Tyson. Tyson actually defeated more opponents stylistically similar to Ali who were larger than Ali.

    I cant think of anyone 200+ lbs that Ali beat who was close to Tyson. Id guess the closesths is Floyd Patterson.

    Ali mentally tough, Tyson most definitely not.

    Tyson intimidated opponents, Ali was never intimidated.

    Mr Ali has the beating of Mr Tyson.
