A "PRIME" Tyson....I dont know....
Tyson's Prime was well before King screwed him up and over....
With Tyson's attack the way it was, I believe Ali would have seriously had trouble trying to play the "Rope a Dope" on Tyson....Tyson actually had more power than most guys Ali ever fought....With exceptions like Frazier and Foreman...
I think that the type of power fighters have today comes through years of genetics and technology, you cant find very many fighters of yesteryear that had the shape or the power that most fighters of today have, what you do find is "MORE HEART!!!", yes, the only difference between fighters of the past and fighters of today is heart, the game changed when all the big dollars got involved....Now you got fighters waiting for the money to be right, when fighters in the past were like, "When and where??"....
Tyson, was a little of both...Pre-King, Tyson was heart and skill....And during the King era was about the money...
So when you think about Tyson's prime you need to really realize when his "True Prime" was....
I think this fight would be a great one, but, if we are talking about Tyson's prime, I would have to give the win to Tyson by TKO in the 4th.....
Good Luck,
Coach
