    No way does Ali stop Tyson. I've seen it suggested a ton of times with the reasoning being "well he stopped Foreman and Liston." Liston suffered an injury in the first fight and the second fight is questionable. Foreman punched himself out like an idiot (something Tyson has never done). Outside of a freak cut/injury, there's no way Ali puts Tyson away.

    Also, you can't compare Tyson to Patterson. Not even in the same league in terms of durability and power.

    Mike Tyson 50 (44 KO)-6

    Of those 6 losses, 1 is a DQ and 5 are stoppages....I'm merely playing the odds

    Tyson's best performance in the ring was against Spinks but anyone from Berbick ti Williams (except Bruno)?
    Ali's best performance in the ring was against Williams but his prime may have been cut off during the ban.
    Tyson could have beaten Sonny Liston but he would have to get past that ram rod jab.
    Tyson opponent that would have given Ali the most trouble would be Lewis or from the ones he beat Tucker.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Thanks guys. I'm surprised that the majority of you picked Spinks as Tyson's best performance. While it was impressive to watch Tyson get him out of there in 90 seconds, I hardly consider it his best "performance." You could tell all along that the Tyson fight was one the Spinks camp was never comfortable with, but it HAD to happen. I think intimidation played a large part in that one. I just don't think Spinks was %100 there that night. But thanks for all the input guys
