Answer 7

This question gets asked every week lol,but this is how it would probably turn out,in his prime Ali relied on speed and foot work to beat his opponents even though he had a lot of knock out power, Tyson relied on power and accuracy getting inside and unleashing devastating uppercuts and body shots until he got the chance to punch the h**l out of his opponent's skull. Tyson probably had more knock out power but Ali was a lot smarter, as always Tyson would start the fight as the aggressor and attack Ali immediately forcing Ali to retreat while dodging Tyson's punches, for some reason Ali always had trouble with aggressive in fighters, he could handle people like Liston and Shavers but always found it difficult against the stubborn in fighters (like Joe Frazier) and this weakness would show in this fight, Ali liked to control the pace of the fight from the outside and tyson was never the kind of boxer that you could keep away for long periods of time,his peek a boo style was a lot faster and better than frazier's (Frazier usually moved up and down to dodge while tyson moved side ways most of the time) and Tyson's stocky body made his peek a boo all the more effective, he would have given Ali h**l for the first few rounds probably score a knock down early in the rounds......BUT.....Ali was no ordinary boxer, the toughness of his chin was surpassed only by his willingness to win and this is what would make the difference in this fight, Tyson was a boxer who was used to winning,he never handled frustration well and when a fight didn't go his way he always got impatient and looked for the knock out punch, Ali on the other hand was very patient and usually wore his opponents out while waiting for a clean opening to land some serious punches towards the 5th round Tyson would get frustrated and begin a vicious assault on Ali (A la jack Dempsey) hoping to catch him with an uppercut or a strong right jab (ironically this was his favorite punch but rarely won fights with it) Ali would constantly move around avoiding Mike's most dangerous hits with his amazing relfexes (in his prime Ali's reflexes were not human I have a video on youtube were he dodges a series of strong jabs just by moving his head as if he was seeing the punches come in slow motion......seriously.....just like neo in the matrix) eventually Mike would wear out and just as he brings his hands back to rest Ali would land a quick combination on Mike's jaw, that would rock him tremendously.mike tyson.would be startled by this and he will get intimidated....something he is not used to and this is when Ali would start playing his mind games,Mike would try and play it smart with Ali (bad move) and keep chasing him around but by then Ali would have figured him out and simply keep him at bay with the jabs while occasionally mounting a convincing counter offense.....this fight would probably end in a draw (not likely though) or a split decision victory for Ali ( Tyson would have thrown the most punches,and would have been the aggressive fighter but Ali would have landed more clean shots and won most of the later rounds .....similar to how Mayweather wins a lot of his fights) it would be an interesting match because both boxers knew how to put up a great fight.

Answer 8

Mike Tyson was eventually exposed to be susceptible to fighters who were a) taller than him with longer reaches and good left jabs and b) not intimidated by him.  Put check marks beside Ali in both categories.  Just like Ali stopped the "invincible" bully Sonny Liston and the "invincible" bully George Foreman - using different tactics by the way - he would have either knocked Tyson out or made him quit.

Answer 9

I agree with blogbaba, this question is an insult to Ali.

When you look at the 3 years Tyson dominated the division, you need to ask yourself this question, What was his greatest win against a quality opponent? He KO'd Holmes but Holmes was 38, coming out of retirement and sporting a gut. Then you think of Micheal Spinks, who made his mark as a lightheavy. His best wins were against Tucker and Ruddock. He didn't devastate either of those fighters and they weren't exactly "great fighters". Then he was KO'd by Douglas, when he was 24 yrs old! In his prime. Not long after he had a 3 yr layoff in prison. If you look at his comeback, and try to think of the best fighter he beat, the only one that comes to mind is Bruno.

Then you need to look at Ali's career, he peaked in 1967 & 68, before his 3 year layoff. He was dominating the division and undefeated. He had wins over Patterson, Liston 2x, Foley and Williams. The he missed 3 yrs as well came-back a little thicker and his foot speed was never the same. Although he had wins over Frazier 2x, Norton 2x, Foreman, Lyle, and Shavers.

Tyson biggest wins over prime opponents - Tucker, Ruddock 2x, Bruno 2x

His losses - Douglas, Holyfield 2x, Lewis

(I don't put much weight o his last 2 losses, he was past his best yrs)

Ali's best wins against prime opponents - Patterson, Liston 2x, Williams, Frazier 2x, Norton 2x, Foreman, Lyle, Shavers

His losses - Frazier, Norton,

(I don't put much weight behind his losses to Spinks, Holmes and Berbick, because he was shot as a fighter by then as well)

If you look at they're achievements, it isn't close!

Ali in his prime was far superior to Buster Douglas in 1990. Buster won every round in that fight but one. Did Tyson train as hard as he should? Maybe not. But who is responsible for that?

The best part of this fight would have been Ali verbally assaulting Tyson and making him crazy with anger. Mike would be swinging wildly and Ali would be on his toes sticking and moving. I think Tyson would be trying to hit Ali with the ring post by the 5th round!

Ali by KO, quicker than you can say Buster DOuglas!

Answer 10

ali outboxes tyson, tyson clinches, ali dances, tyson chases, ali throws combinations, tyson misses, gets frustrated, tires, and gets stopped by ali in 10 rounds.

Answer 11

i dont know it kinda like the Pelopenisian war between Sparta and Athens but Sparta won that time so i would go with Tyson in his prime
