OK, on a fight only 14 months in to his career, you take as evidence Ali would have beaten Mike

If we did the same for Ali then after 3 whole years of being a pro and seeing him struggle big time with the likes of Doug Jones and nearly being stopped by Henry Cooper (yes thats right 2 consecutive poor displays after more than twice the amount of time as a pro that Mike was when he beat Tillis) then we would have to say a Mike in his prime would murder Ali, or Clay

When it comes to Mike he really isnt given a fair shake of the stick, when Mike struggled at his peak he wan nearly every round of his poor fights, when Ali struggled in his prime he was getting unpopular decisions and scraping himself off the floor

Mike having trouble was someone who heard the final bell
Tyson also won title the same year in one of his most impressive victorys Tyson never faced anyone in his prime that moved and hit him sure he fought guys who could move im not saying that but mostly they were scared and wern't throwing much only looked to survive and on defensive Tillis moved and was throwing punches and i have almost finished watching it and im suprised at how many clean punches Tillis has landed.
