Tyson had no heart to beat any all-time greats except for those who were of lighter weight classes or past their prime.
Tyson idolized Cus D'Amato and only wanted to please him. I say the Tyson that fought with Cus D'Amato brainwashing/driving him would not quit, lose his cool or composure. Agreed that the Tyson that fought Douglas and mostly everyone else would lose to Ali, I just am not so sure about the pre-death of D'Amato Tyson. I think past-prime Ali does better against Tyson because of his increased craft.
