:mjlol::russ: gets me everytime.

nikka of course a prime Ali will keep away from him.
Ya'll prolly watched Mayweather fights the last years :lupe: if so and so lands a good punch it's over.

:mjlol: you guys act like ali couldn't take a powerful punch to face, Ali had a better chin them holyfield.

The fact that you believe any version of ali pre-35 years old couldn't take a hit from tyson.:russ:

Ali PROVED he could take hard hits, go back and watch the Forman fight.

Muhammad Ali is the only boxer I ever seen knock someone out while going backwards :sas2:
He destroyed a 24 year old George Foreman when he was 32:sas2:

Dodged 21 punches in 10 seconds:sas2:

i knocked someone out when i was unconscious, he wasn't a pro though

Tyson only has a shot in the first 4 rounds. If it went past that its Ali and that might even be enough

I don't think Ali could take the 12 minutes of head and body shots from Mike. Foreman's punches we're slow, and you see them coming from a Mile away. Mike is just as powerful and much quicker hands, and dangerous combinations.

If Cooper, Jones, and Frazier can drop Ali with their left hooks, Tyson can too.

With that said, prime Ali (which is pre draft) was a hell of a fighter and would've kept Tyson from getting and staying in close with his movement. Now if Ali wanted to fight Tyson like he did George Chuvalo then Tyson got that.
I can see Tyson being more effective than Patterson and at least scoring a knockdown against Ali. Also it's hard to really rule out a prime Tyson (with Kevin Rooney in his corner)

I stan both fighters, but i feel like Tyson gets the short end of the stick because of how his career ended up playing out. I hope y'all realize Prime Tyson is when he trained under Cus. That Tyson was a machine.

Idk why folks in here are comparing Tyson to Foreman. Only thing they had in common was power but young Tyson was faster, quicker and most of all smarter than Foreman was and had a higher punch output.

This is one of the fights I could never decide who wins. shyt I'm bout to dust off the ps3 and see who wins in Fight Night. It's the closest we'll ever get to an actual fight :manny:
