    If you could bring back a Prime Mike Tyson (1987) or a prime Muhammad Ali (1966-67) today, which would you bring back?

    Tyson, just to see Wlad **** himself in the stare down. Although the clash of ego's and resultant trash talk between Haye and Ali would be hilarious.

    I think the division is in need of some raw aggression. Whilst Ali would be great, I'd like to see a dominant, vicious, aggressive champion and that's what Tyson was.

    Ali for his brilliance in and out the ring.

    Tyson isn't suffering from any parkinsons, lives a good life, whereas Ali has deteriorated, on that alone I'd rather see him back. Tyson was a beast, and a mythical monster to a degree, Ali's greatness can't be in doubt, he revolutionized the game of boxing.

    I may also add, I'd rather see Wilfred Benitez back than Mike Tyson, due to his phyiscal condition.

    I've seen Mohammed Ali fight on video already knowing he was going to win by far the best boxer of all time, but I watched Tyson fight and live thru his time is a big difference watching old videos and watching it as it happens so I say "IRON MIKE"

    Tyson... :bbb

    Ali would nowadays be called a spoiler/grabber/runner/boring etc. while Tyson was all in excitement.
