Ali vs Tyson?

Question

who do you like and why? (keep it short)

Answer 1

Ali top of his game and Iron Mike top of his game?

Mike would knock him out. think about mike tyson at 19 ali danced alot but tyson would charge him. it's just two different styles and two different eras.

Answer 2

ali hands down. tyson had everyone scared shitless but ali didnt fear his opponents. so the psyche out, which was half tysons game, wouldnt work. tyson is good but ali had punching power and a killer reach advantage. tysons uppercuts would be a lot less powerfull having to travel half a mile to ali's chin.

Answer 3

I like Ali in that fight. Tyson was known for his brutal first round barrages, whereas Ali was a more well-rounded, calculated fighter.  Ali fought to the final round on numerous occasions.  Plus, Ali could dodge just about any punch thrown at him.  Tyson would be worn out by the third or fourth round, and that's when Ali would get down to business.  Ali over Tyson in seven rounds.

Answer 4

tyson in his prime would of given ali a run for his money the tyson of late 90s -21st century would of been destroyed by ali

Answer 5

Ali at his best with his great handspeed and great footwork in the ring would have boxed and frustrated Mike Tyson.  Ali by unanimous decision.

Answer 6

Ali fought some of the greatest punchers in history. He beat them all. Tyson lost to a mediocre Douglas by KO in his prime(24yrs old) . Ali is MUCH better than Douglas. Ali by KO inside of 9rds

Answer 7

Ali was the greatest without any doubt. He fought everyone at least twice and often thrice, Check out his record and Tyson's too. Ali also has done much in the fight for black equality as well and has given much to charities.

Answer 8

It all depends on timing. During the careers of both, each boxer had the skills, power & speed to win. The younger Mike being trained by Rooney would have beat an Ali. That Mike was trained to focus on targeted areas on the opponents body. The fast moving Ali would have been a moving target, but the ever charging Mike only needed to hit those targeted (pressure points) areas. Any other Mike would have more than likely been dropped by any Ali...thanks Don King, for nothing!
