    Tyson Does have a bit better accuracy than Foremans - BUT Ali would make Tyson miss And counter him like Holyfield did in 1996.

    Tyson has teh worst stamina of any ATG heavyweight by far, trust me-

    Out of Tysons' 9 fights what went past round 7, he only stopped 1 guy [a grade D tomato-can called Jose Ribalta] And he was KO'd 3 times. :lol::rofl

    :thumbsup I spread teh truth.

    Against ATG heavyweights Tyson has even worse record - 0-3.
    In 1996 vs Holyfield he was destroyed And stopped late, in 2003 vs Lennox he was destroyed And KO'd late. If Tyson hadnnt 'No Massed ' in teh Holyfield rematch - he would have been stopped late just like in teh first fight. Once any ATG gets passed round 7 with Tyson - they will KO him. :deal

    I'm starting to wonder whether or not Tyson stole your girlfriend.

    The level of bias is not even funny.

    Tyson had more 1 punch KO's than Foreman over ranked contenders. FACT
    Michael Spinks and Larry Holmes were both ATG fighters. FACT
    Tyson has beaten more ranked contenders than George Foreman. FACT

    Take the 20 best names on George Foreman's resume and the 20 best names on Tyson's resume. Compare them. :deal







    FYI he fought Lennox in 2002.

    What is the significance of this? He is ten months away from perhaps his best filmed performance. If this style showing difficult for Mike in the first of the three best years of his career doesn't matter, what does?

    Is that because we are all stating our own opinions?

    No. Ali would have employed different tactics with Tyson,as Tyson threw shorter,more precise punches than Foreman did. Rope-a-dope would n't have worked in this case.

    NO ****ing chance you Tyson-bumsuckler!

    Peak Ali 1964-1967 dominated everyone, includes Liston, Terell, Williams And Folley.

    Peak Tyson 1986-1990 was destroyed for 10 rounds And KO'D by 42-1 underdog - Grade C journey man Buster Douglas. :lol: :lol:

    Any prime Ali from 1964-1974 can do EVERYTHING Buster did, but Better, faster And with more skill.

    Ali would win EVERY round. :deal

    1988 Tyson is a complete Myth.
    WTF did he even do in 1988?

    Looked like messy-**** against a light-heavy as he rushed-in missing haymaker punches.

    Sparked-out Grade C glass-chin poor man's Eddie Chambers - BUT was badly out-brawled on teh inside in round 1.

    Beat-up a 38 year-old rusty old grandad who last lost to a light-heavy 2 years earlier - BUT tyson looked crappy until round 3.

    Foreman Hook = total ****** = cotto20

    Good observation.

    I don't think the rope'a'dope as such will work against Tyson, but a spoiling, mauling type fighter or fightplan would have some sucess.
