Muhammad ali was a very skilful boxer with an iron chin but he was a slow starter. I think that tyson will have success early but Ali will start to counter him in the championship rounds. Tyson will get battered and Ali will stop him late because tyson will not beable to handle Ali pressure and supreme conditioning.
Look guys, with all due respect to Tyson, and he was a great boxer with terrific speed, power,etc....
the one who made the comment about Ali as the dinosaur who would take boxers into deep waters and drown them....that was Tyson himself. HE said he could never beat Ali.
Let us all pause and recall that Tyson was no match for Douglas ( a pure boxer).
All right, by this point Tyson had fired Rooney and partied quite a bit before the bout, but he was not a has-been by any means, but Douglas took him to school.
Ali was in a whole different league than Douglas.
He beat the young Foreman, and Tyson would not even risk fighting the old Foreman.
That's right. Ali took the best shots of the hardest punchers in history and he'd have taken Tyson's as well. And with Mike's weak psyche, Ali would've beaten him psychologically even before the bell rings. Tyson, like Liston, was a bully, and if you'd stand up against the bully and not get intimidated, it's like you've won against him, and Ali was a master at that.
Well usually anytime mike tyson is in deep waters he tends to drown himself, he has always had stamina/breathing issues throughout most of his career. If Ali was able to take Tyson to the late rounds he stops him or wins a wide decision. Tyson would be deadly to Ali for the first 5 rounds or so if Ali could take tyson to the mid rounds he would win the fight otherwise , Tyson ko Ali inside the first 5 rounds .... too fast and too strong early on.
I agree. Ali is the greatest boxer of all time, he is all brain and brawn.
Got to say Ali had a tremendous chin, he got hit by some of the hardest punchers ever, Shavers, Lyle, Foreman, Liston, Norton, Frazier, Cooper wow.
