BOXING: Prime Mike Tyson vs Prime Muhammad Ali: who wins?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

This...

If you're in this thread trying to convince people Tyson would win you have not watched enough Ali...

Muhammad Ali is my all time favorite athlete. The way I see it, if Muhammad Ali is able to withstand Tyson's power arsenal in the first 5 rounds it is game over. Tyson was known to break down after 5 or 6 rounds due to lack of stamina. Ali was known for endurance/quick endurance/quick jab. Later rounds, I can see him pull out a KO.

I'm going with Muhammad Ali.

Mike Tyson might've been strong, but Ali was too quick.



The GOAT. This dude dodged 21 ****ing punches.

One thing people don't know about Mike is that he's a bonafide Boxing Historian. He's like an Encyclopedia when it comes to that stuff. Cus had him watch tons of tape when he was coming up and he just absorbed all the names, styles, fights, etc.

Damn lol

This thread pops up every few years. Unfortunately, it has never been really worth all of the discussion that it has received.

Tyson wasn't even one of the best two heavyweights of his own freaking era (that would be Lewis/Holyfield). Ali was the best in the most stacked HW division in boxing history.

Not to mention, Ali would have him mentally beaten before the two guys ever walked into the ring. I love Mike as much as the next guy, but Ali feasted on guys who were mental midgets (see Sonny Liston, young George Foreman). Tyson was so easily thrown off his game that he bit a guy's ear off for "playing too rough"...

Mismatch.

Foreman was like a 6-4 Tyson.

Tyson's quick too. And Ali's never been hit by someone like Tyson before.



Tyson was sociopathic during his prime, he was ruthless and was punching to kill. That's why I give him the edge over ANYBODY prime vs prime.

Tyson is the most powerful puncher in boxing history. If you dispute that then you're an idiot.
