Tyson. No doubt about it. He would have destroyed Ali in his day!!!
Chalk and Cheese very hard to compair one a fighter the other a boxer
Reckon Ali would have pissed Tyson off with all the old trash talk malarky and then Tyson would have flattened him. Wouldn't have gone past 4 rounds.
Quite agree. Tyson would have been way too strong. I haven't seen a boxer so dominant in my life time. Half the fights Tyson had were pointless ones as there wasn't any fighters around that could have got close to him back in the day. I just wish he hadn't carried on. Legend!!

Please dont take this personally, but anyone who thinks Tyson is in Ali's league hasnt got a clue about boxing, both Foreman and Frazier would have comfortably dealt with Tyson, he relied a hell of a lot on intimidation, and that just wouldnt have been a factor with Frazier, Foreman or Ali.
Even when Tyson was at the height of his game you only have to look at how both Bonecrusher Smith and Tony Tucker tied him up for the whole fight, and just look at how an aging Larry Holmes made him look silly for the first couple of rounds, no contest in my opinion, Ali, easily the winner.
f*** me! I can't disagree with a word of this. Compare the quality of opposition in their respective eras and you'll see the only fighter of true class around for Tyson to show his ultimite worth (Holyfield wasn't even a heavyweight) was Lennox Lewis and he was paid to step aside for years. Tyson was very good but in a crap era for boxing. No Ali. Or Frazier, Foreman or Lewis, frankly imoPlease dont take this personally, but anyone who thinks Tyson is in Ali's league hasnt got a clue about boxing, both Foreman and Frazier would have comfortably dealt with Tyson, he relied a hell of a lot on intimidation, and that just wouldnt have been a factor with Frazier, Foreman or Ali.
