'88 Tyson DESTROYS '66 Ali

[brocktonblockbust]

George Chuvalo shook and rocked Ali all night long with serious shots upstairs and down. Chuvalo had a mere 17 days to prepare for this fight due to Ernie Terrell pulling out of his fight with ali. If Chuvalo could hit ali all night with these thudding shots [example: Chuvalo landed 133 power shots to ali's body that night] then imagine what 1988 Iron Mike Tyson would have done: massive organ damage and head trauma, leading to about a 5th round frightening knockout.

Tyson would have fucked up Ali hardcore...

George Chuvalo was a hell of a fighter. This is a great documentary about it all!

Clay was great in his era , but lots of fighters would have beaten him.

Not So Fast

Mike Tyson was no 'left-hooker' like 185 lb. Henry Cooper.

Name any fighter that would have even come close to beating Ali prior to his enforced 3 1/2 year lay off. There wasn't one
Remember we were robbed of seeing the prime Ali by politics. Ali wasn't the same fighter when he came back but he adapted & still beat them all.
Did you hear what Sonny Liston said after Clay-Liston 1 He said " They told me that boy couldn't punch... They LIED" !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well as the thread says id give the 88 Tyson a shot , Lennox , Wlad , Vitali , Sanders ,I just don't see Clay being strong enough in the clinches against those huge guys. He also lacked power .
He was the best of his era , that's all you can be , but I don't personally conform to he was the greatest , to small in this modern era .

No we didn't see Clay because he chose not to fight for the country that had made him rich , because he was a coward.

Yea.....noooo......Ali's footwork, his handspeed that's very troublesome for Tyson.

Could Tyson rock Ali? Could he knock Ali down? Quite possibly, but I'd say for the most part Tyson would have had trouble catching up with Ali because Ali would have been on his bike. Also mentally Tyson didn't have what it takes to handle Ali.


Look at Sonny Liston vs Ali, look at Patterson vs Ali....Mike Tyson was exactly like both of those dudes meshed together and both of those dudes got seriously fucked up by Ali.
