Would Prime Tyson win even one round against Ali?

I don't know. If a slow heavy hander like Foreman can KO Frazier, I'm not sure if Tyson with his hand-speed and power wouldn't have done the same thing.

 

if frazier could beat ali, i dont see why a prime tyson; could not.

 

Old man Wepner even knocked him down with a body shot,almost out the ring...This topic is such an over exaggeration of how great Ali was..

Ali wins fine,but the whole "Ali would toy with Tyson" is laughable,all the rope a dope stuff would not work with Mike's body attack..

 

crazy question. Tyson would be a nightmare for Ali.

 

:deal

Ali was good...But I think Tyson knocks him out.

 

He tripped over his foot

Truth is that both have granite chins

Mike had some difficulty with athletic guys with good chins and Ali had trouble with shorter pressure fighters

 

He'd give Ali more problems than Joe Farzier did.

 

im gonna get alot of **** for this comment, but Tyson would knock him out.
deal with it.

 

The Joe frazier comparasion is faulty, Joe was often satisfied with getting you tired then destroying you with left hooks, when I watch frazier in the 11th round he doesn't even look tired, plus Joe has a way better chin, far more heart anyone who can get up 6 times from foreman punches has chin and heart in another category that tyson doesn't. Tyson even in his prime struggled in later rounds, frazier thrived in it. Frazier was not vulernable to uppercuts in the way TYson was, he used a cross defense and he picked jabs. Tyson never picked jabs as far as I remember and Frazier was just a more complete boxer who had more tools in the box,he had screw drivers, hammers, nails, and so on, tyson just had one set of tool like a hammer and he smashed everything.

 

Oh,and I forgot to add, frazier was an extremely dangerous in fighter, not that he could only knock you out from infighting, but that is where he'd hook you, one to the body in close maybe 2, you drop your hands to protect your body and its in your face. Tyson was not as good of an infighter in fact the guide to beating tyson includes infighting him, the guide to beating frazier is never letting him get in or in mid range. Tyson is dangerous in mid range, but when tyson is touching you, he doesn't have room to windup. This is why holyfield infought him for 11 rounds.

 

2 fighters surrounded by huge legend

well to be honest Tyson would obviously win 1 round....but i think he would win more than just 1

I see interesting posts all around

Ali was wobbled by others like a guy like Cooper...but anybody can be hurt by anyone

Ali handled the power of Foreman Frazier Quarry Norton Shavers Lyle and plenty more no problem

I dont think Tyson faced anyone that resembled Ali in terms of ability and talent who wouldnt be intimidated and would play head games and talk **** to Tyson something i dont think many did or did and had the ability to back it up

I hate to try and debate this one, Tyson probably gets inside and does damage, Ali might be able to dance and jab but i think Tyson is fast enough to corner Ali and not be chasing a moving fighter all night

Tyson had great head movement to avoid the jabs and rights

I really cant decide but this cant win a round claim is all wrong

Tyson talks him vs Ali

 

Tyson by easy KO

 

If guys like Henry Cooper, Sonny Banks, Joe Frazier and Ken Norton can win rounds against Ali, then so can prime Tyson.

I think prime Tyson beats any version of Ali. Styles make fights.

Ali also said Tyson was the greatest. Rarely does a fighter say he could beat a champion of a different era.
