Would Ali have intimidated Mike Tyson?

I doubt he'd have headbutted Mike to win or get him to react.

 

When did I say that? I'm not saying that at all. There are plenty of fighters who weren't intimidated by Tyson. You're following the "Teddy Atlas Handbook on Mike Tyson" too closely like it's the Gospel. Liston and Foreman were NOT intimidated before their fights with Ali. If you're calling Tyson a bully than what was Ali? A saint?

Where are you getting your information from? Or are you just making this sh*t up?

 

Tyson beat plenty of fighters who weren't scared of him.

I don`t know that Ali would have intimidated him physically. He may very well fluster Tyson with some of the things that he would call him.If Tyson gets angry that`s an advantage for Ali. The only fighter that Ali`s verbal assaults backfired against was Joe Frazier and that`s because Joe was uncommonly tough. Mentally tough, he used it as fuel to motivate him because deep down Frazier believed he was the best.

In the ring I believe Ali would have to be careful with Tyson for about 5 or 6 rounds before he opens up totally with his flurries. Mike was explosive and dangerous with either hand. I could see Ali on the floor if Tyson connects early but he won`t stay there. The tying up and holding would be more effective against Tyson than even Joe Frazier. Tyson didn`t mind an excuse to rest on the inside.

Tyson would be frustrated. It would probably look a lot like Tyson/Douglas at a higher level. Maybe Mike wasn`t quite what he had been but Buster was never Ali even on his best night.

 

And of course the squeaky clean Tyson ALWAYS played within the rules. :roll::roll::nut

I think you will find what Vander did was beat the bully boy at his own game.

 

Duran would have intimidated ali

 

Sorry bro, thought u would understand inference. And what am I making up? And I didn't no Atlas even wrote a book. But obviously you did, but didn't agree with it. I only base my opinions on what I saw, not what someone else say. And there were plenty of reports Ali got in the heads of both Foreman and Liston. I made up nothing. When Douglas got up against Tyson, that fight was for all intensive purpose over. When Tyson realized Holyfeild wasn't going anywhere he bit his ear off, TWICE. It was his way out. Ali battered old and beaten severely by Holmes didn't try to find his way out. Though I'm sure he realized at the end of rd 1 he had know chance. It's called character.

 

I call repeatedly butting a guy with a steel plated pumpkin cheating. I'd have bit off his whole ear.

 

Flip the script, Holyfields been butting throughout his career. Foreman said Holyfield was the dirtiest fighter he's ever fought.

Once Holyfield got a taste of his own medicine, he didn't like it.

 

I can recall your hero lunging in head first and coming off second best to the Warrior.....

 

It was Holyfield who was jumping up and down and turned his back on Tyson.

 

Every time ali vs Tyson is proposed the ali side of the arguement always hypothesise ali mentally breaking down Tyson

In my opinion that would never happen and Tyson wins

But each to their own

 

Yes and only then did Tyson manage to grow the ***** to give Holyfield the gayest push since Freddie Mecury backed up on to Kenny Everett's tallywacker...... :rofl

 

He went to push Holyfield who then turned his back.

Not Tysons problem.

 

Holyfield wanted to punish Mike even more but Tinkerbell decided to have another nibble didn't he.....
