Tyson v Ali who would win ?

I think Tyson in the years 1987-1989 was the best fighter of all times.

Maybe the punching speed Tyson/Ali would be equal, but Mike had more power in it and could easily KO Ali

Rumble in the Jungle proved Ali could take a punch... Hard to say ...

pointless Topic, in boxing you never know what is going to happen, until it happens. Nothing is for certain, it only matters what happens.

Please try and be abit more creative, and more orginal.

It's hard to say

ali fought people with defensive skills like joe frazier, he collapsed, after he won. He won which proved his endurance and stamina. However, tyson's head movement is far beyond fraziers bobbing. Ali also faced heavy hitters like george foreman, however i say tyson is stronger than him.

The heavy hitters ali faces were not as fast or as accurate as tyson..i think in 3 fights tyson would win two..

As much as I love Tyson, I could'nt see him knocking Ali out if both fighters were in their prime. Tyson often struggled against big people (green, rebalta, smith etc) If Ali could take Shavers and Foremans punches, I think he could take Mikes, Anyone who can go a whole fight with a broken jaw against a fighter like Norton must be canny rock. And I reckon it would go the distance with he outcome being a draw:)

HI, HOW CAN I NOT RESPOND TO ALL THOSE BLIND IDIOTS THAT SAY ALI WOULD DO TO TYSON WHAT HE DID TO FOREMAN can anybody answer who has foreman ko'd out cold frazier got up like 23 times anyway foreman is the slowest heavyweight ever born tyson & foreman weighed the same in there prime & tyson just as quick as ali if not quicker because he never got hit cooper ko'd ali in 2 so he wasn't invincable i would take tyson by ko but until then i would also have him winning on points but i think ali would get him in a rematch the question was asked to tyson aswell his answer THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT ERAS WHICH YOU CANNOT ANSWER MIKE RATES ALI BETTER THAN ROBINSON P4P ALI WAS HIS IDOL BUT HIS FAVOURITE WAS JOE LOUIS THATS CHARACTOR

It is too clse to call, Ali had the kind guile of that no fighter has ever had and even he would be tested against the ferocity and speed of Mike's punches. I am going to sit on the fence (sorry) as it is too close to call and i love both guys so don't want to choose between them. A cop out i know.

I had this debate before ali was vunrable to good left hand punchers all through his career Cooper holmes fraiser just to name a few mike was one of the best left hookers ever ali was more flawed than people realise tyson in his prime would win in my opinion

Lets just wait till fight night 4 comes out and pair the 2 up with computer controlling both fighters, That'll sort it out for sure:) Oh and spartan, Cooper floored Ali at the end of the 4th! ...... I know, I'm a pedantic Tw*t ! :)
