But does Tyson think Ali was faster?

In my opinion Ali had the faster reflexes and his jab was faster than any single punch Tyson threw in his prime. Their feet are very close in speed, with Ali faster moving laterally and Tyson faster at creating the angle/shifting. Where Ali was faster with single shots, Tyson was faster throwing combinations and also delivered more power throughout the combos.

I think Tyson edges it.

And Ali thinks Tyson would beat him.

Tyson was by far the more explosive. Things in short bursts. Here, there, side-to-side, boom-boom-boom.
Whereas Ali was more balletic with better reflexes, maybe better timing.
Both were equally capable of rattling off silly combinations just in different ways.
