"conspiratory pessimism" is a 5$ Don King phrase I just made up

Tyson always has the strikers chance, but Ali always seemed to weather the storm.

PLEASE PEOPLE, stop posting in this thread!
It's been argued to death a zillion times before and frankly i say 'let's forget about it!'

ps. mike tyson could beat ali in his prime

[Kristian]

Ali would decimate Tyson!

[Jody Lane]

Ali would decimate Tyson!

I agree

Ali would decimate Tyson!

I agree

OK, George Foreman hit way harder than Tyson, and look what happened to him? Punchers are what Ali fought the best with, cuz he boxed yo'azz & then in the late rounds, went for the KO

george may of had more power than tyson but he had much, much, much better boxing skills than george.
If ali went on the ropes against tyson he would be a goner!

I have to disagree.. i think george had more all around boxing skills in addition to power.

Hahahahahaha

have you seen 'the rumble in the jungle' he fought like an drunk amateur. He never picked his spots and threw punches wildly, serioulsy his defence was terrible.

What he tried to do was overwhelm ali and all his previous opponents, mike tyson on the other hand...

a. very good head movement, side to side, good ability to weave and dodge punches.
b. good footwork, cut off the ring well
c. very accurate fast handspeed, deadly combinations. Picked his spots well and a very good bodypuncher.
d. Tyson always kept his hands up, unlike george foreman being totally open to ali punches.

The foreman of the 90's had alot better boxing skills than the foreman of the 70's.

[CMURDER]

Yeah Tyson would have knocked him out.

[alex w]

if mc bride can beat tyson, ali sure as hell can

of course Foreman looked bad, cuz he was fighting fookin' Muhammad Ali, duh, that isn't even a comparison!

[The Whirlwind]

Idiot Tyson isn't even worth the toilet tissue that Ali wiped his backside with.

in soccer we hear about the maradona-pele question. of course, nobody mentions that pele scored over 1,000 goals while maradona scored what? 300? then here we are discussing ali-tyson as if they were even in the same league. while tyson was entertaining and feed the same violent appetite that makes the circus of wrestling the marketing success it is, the fact is that ali would have taken tyson in no time. let's face it, are you guys forgetting about foreman? that guy was a monster when ali took him appart and quite frankly foreman in his prime makes tyson look like the baby in roger rabbit's movie. then we have norton, frasier and the host of other true boxers whom ali dispatched. tyson is gone, a chump named douglas beat him, a cruiser name hollyfield showed him what boxing is all about. tyson never faced true competition because larry holmes was on the way out and spinks never achieved what hollyfield achieved. in ali's prime tyson would have been a good sparring partner but nothing more. ali was for a reason the greatest.

just like to say to all this bollox. Im british and lewis is one of my favourite boxers. ive always put him alittle behind ali and tyson. in an interview about 3 months ago he said he would never beat ali, marciano, forman and tyson in there primes. so the man himself said it
how can u argue.
but the one thing i did find funny was ali sayin he would lose to tyson by tko. interviewer asked him. y. and he said. coz im 63.
but i also believe tyson would ave beat ali in 3 or 4 rounds
Prime 4 Prime that is
