    That would make Ali and Tyson the top two of all time.
    There is a bridge in Alaska for sale!!!

    Any top champion had the stuff to defeat Ali or Tyson.

    As Marciano was undefeared, difficult to say Tyson would win.
    Not sure if Tyson could take the punches, but Marciano proved
    he could take the heavy shots.

    i never said he was one of the best i just said he could beat them. each of them are great for different reasons but if you put marciano, frazier, or even a young forman i think mike would take em

    These dream matches are always unfair on Mike, each champ of each generation had something special to put them above everyone else.

    Mike may well have come bottom out of a round robin tournament and he may well have beaten everyone.

    I know it sounds daft when we as his fans say his prime was with Kevin Rooney because he ws still in his physical prime whien he came out of prison but even the newest of boxing fans would notice a difference in the way Mike fought after Rooney, he wasnt hard to hit, he didnt jab or put together dazzling combinations and for him to have had success as a 5,10" fighter throwing one shot at a time is still pretty good.

    Hypotheticly if Cus had never died (Cus had Mikes respect and love, Rooney did but not to that extent) Mike would have stayed on the straight and narrow and as I mentioned about all Mikes physical gifts and promise, if he had taken his career serious and carried on as he was, he wouldnt have been unbeatable but we wouldnt have to hear how he was just a bully who didnt like adversity.

    The adversity came when he didnt give a shit, he fought good fighters that couldnt put a dent in him because he was that good, not because they were bad, id take the eighties champs over todays, they were far more skilled, Tony Tubbs was still having success up to a couple of years ago, Holmes also, Whitherspoon would catch Klitschko with that overhand right for sure and if Jones and Toney could have success at heavy Spinks would have also.

    Id give Bruno a shot at a title as well
