Muhammad Ali legend but not the greatest?

In his time he was the best but he was so much smaller. Mike Tyson at his best would have knocked him out, would he not?

Mike Tyson might be the most over rated heavyweight in history, Holyfield a pumped up cruiser weight KOed Mike twice. Ali is without a doubt the best heavyweight in history, he KOed Liston, Frazier and Foreman, three of history's most feared knockout artists and the B list of opponents Ali faced like Norton, Chuvalo, Williams, Shavers, Ellis, Bonavena and Patterson would have all probably beat Tyson. How anyone who has a clue can think Mike Tyson was anything other than a media creation who beat a bunch of B and C rated heavyweight is beyond me, Mike was a heavy puncher who couldn't box a lick, he looked impressive knocking over tomato cans, but Lennox Lewis, the only other A rated heavyweight Mike faced destroyed him.

Mike quit on his stool against an old White guy name Kevin McBride, Ali fought ten rounds with a broken jaw, mentioning these two in the same sentence is an insult to Ali.

Ali fought a lot of big punchers and won by strategy. He would have tied up Tyson until Tyson was so frustrated he gave up.

Tyson won many of his fights because his opponent was terrified before they got in the ring.

I can't see Ali being afraid of Tyson. Ali would hold Tyson off with his jab, which was a great punch and if Tyson managed to get in close Ali would just tie him up and lean on him until Tyson was exhausted. Ali had the height and reach to do it.

Hell no tyson,cant even keep up,with ali,are u kidding,me and he is the greatest of all time and the only reason why he says Robinson is the greatest is because he,had so much respect for him

He was so fast for a heavyweight that he would have pulped Tyson. His movement around the ring and hand speed was that of a much lighter boxer. Tyson would have been punching thin air. He was, and is, the greatest.

Henry Cooper put him on his *** as well

In his time he was the best but he was so much smaller. Mike Tyson at his best would have knocked him out, would he not?
