[QUOTE=GOBB]Ali beat Liston and Frazier. Two boxers comparable to Mike Tyson. Not to mention Ken Norton, George Foreman, Archie Moore. Basically to act like Tyson power is unseen vs Ali is funny. Ali faced hard hitters and withstood those punches.
Ali wins this match because he could go the distance. Tyson? Not so much. If he couldnt KO Ali early in the fight then as it wore on Tyson would get wreckless, careless in the ring. Frustrated and severely anxious.
Tyson has good traits about him as a boxer over Ali. But Ali style would have frustrated Tyson in this match. The fact Ali has a much better chin is another plus. And like I said, Ali went the distance vs many notable boxers and pulled out wins. Tyson? Not so much.
Ali wins. :banana:

Ali :bowdown:[/QUOTE]
True...Ali fought in arguably the most talented era in boxing history, he fought and beat a bunch of the best heavyweights in history. That's why he's held in such high esteem. Other guys might have less losses but it's due to having fought mostly bums(marciano) Tyson was great but he didn't really beat great fighters. Foreman and Frazier alone probably had as much power as anyone in history,
Mike Tyson struggled against taller boxers who uses jabs. Ali had one of the best jab combo's in boxing history.
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huUlMwYvsx0[/url] Prime Mike Tyson has a better chance of beating Frazier, Norton, Marciano, and Floyd Patterson in a head to head match up.

He beat Prime Michael Spinks, and a 37 yrs.old Larry Holmes who was a still a very good Heavyweight. Post Prison Tyson was not the same boxer as Mike Tyson from 1985 to 1992. Young Mike Tyson uses better head movements, much faster, and a better defensive boxer than 1995 to 2003 Mike Tyson.
and No Lennox Lewis didn't beat a Prime Mike Tyson. Lennox retired from boxing because the younger K brothers would have beaten him in a rematch.
Riddick Bowe beat a much better version of Evander Holyfield in the early 1990's.

Hardly. Watch the whole fight. Tyson was getting tagged by right uppercuts all night long when he tried that stuff.
Ali.
The people that pick Tyson do so because in real life they are huge PUSSlES and degenerate punks like Tyson are the kind of people that intimidate/scare them. Ali would DESTROY him. Lol @ thinking Ali would be intimidated by Tysons ghetto low IQ bullshit. Thats Tysons niche and the reason PUSSIE dudes think he's such a scary/good fighter. Alis skill, size, and mental toughness would be too much.
Muhammad Ali

ali easily[/QUOTE]
100% correct ... Tyson is Frazier and we know who won the most battles there.
