After carefully watching Tyson's and Ali's career I have come understand both their styles. First Ali was very mental, had a lot of endurance and boxed out his opponent. His goal was not a quick knockout but rather to play the sport with finess and truly out box his opponent. Mike on the other hand came in hard and simply went head to head, punch for punch until someone got knocked out.

Ali was probably a better boxer but Tyson had natural power and a lot of skill. The thing is that Tyson could of learned to be better in other areas but a boxer cant learn to be much stronger, that is a gift! if Tyson stayed in better shape instead of partying and doing drugs, hands down Tyson wins!!!!!!!!! However thats all hypothetical, the reality is Ali is more better mentally and much better prepared for a 15 round match. either way I still think Tyson would win due to the fact that ali would have a hard time handling those punches.

Finally i believe that ali's style was much more effective and much more well rounded. If ali can execute his style to perfection and use his reach and height to keep tyson away from him, then Ali wins!!!!! if he cant do that to PERFECTION, then Tyson wins for sure!!!!!!
