I don't think that its a given that Ali beats a prime Tyson because he beat Liston or Foreman because Tyson fought nothing like either of them. I think the prime mid eighties Tyson beats both of those guys and believe me I was never a fan of Mike Tyson. Tyson had some of the best footwork of any hev I have ever seen for a crunching stalker and was extremely fast and compact with both hands along with Langford like power from either side. In addition I do not recall better head movement by a heavyweight in boxing history. Both Cooper and Frazier landed a hook that came from the parking lot and dropped him. As good a chin as Ali had, its simply not a given that he could withstand the onslaught.
