Tyson v Ali in their prime.

Tyson.

Ali would have embarrassed Tyson

Id rather watch a Tyson dvd than an Ali one.

That doesn't make him a better fighter.

Ali managed to handle Liston and Foreman who were harder punchers than Tyson, I think he'd have dealt with him.

Were they harder punchers than Tyson? Tyson could hit hard.

Ali would have outsmarted Tyson and stopped him late on.

Ali would have won the fight before it began and from the first bell it would have been like a cat playing with a mouse, tyson would get knocked out by 9 or stay down to get out of having his face torn apart, Foreman would have killed him no fighter that ever walked straight onto big george ever survived it would have been a miss match.Frazier would have made tyson quit there was a lot of dog in tyson he liked to lay down a bully that could'nt take it back he never fought a monster in his prime like all the others did, right place ect, he,s nowhere in the all time greats a coward if ever there was one he backed out of fighting old man foreman thru fear fuck wpould he have done with young maniac foreman.

Hard to say isn't it, but personally I'd back Foreman -



From When we were Kings about the Rumble in the Jungle, great documentary if you haven't seen it Scott.

Yes good watch that, seen it a few times.

Thing with Tyson is knock him down and he wont get up, anyone reckon foreman would'nt floor him? its irrelevent anyway Tyson would never have got in a ring with Foreman. Peak Larry Holmes would have been too good for him also, shit even Earnie Shavers would have a punchers chance in round 1.

Youngest heavyweight champion ever, i used to love his left hook, and when his opponent was spark out.

Our Henry beat Ali.

Not true Scott. All the fuss was about Cooper knocking him down - which at that point was a miracle in itself. Nobody seems to mention that Ali got up and whupped Cooper's ass. At least that's how I remember it.
