Mike Tyson vs. Mohammed Ali

[shinbits]

I've seen some sports threads in this forum, so....

anyway!

If Mike Tyson at his prime fought Ali at his prime, who'd win?

And remember, the question is NOT who do you like more.

But who would win this fight?

DId you know when Tyson bit off Holyfield's ear that he got to write it off as a business lunch?

Ali would win. He was arrogant, but smart.

 

[shinbits]

I voted Mike Tyson. Ali was great, but Mike is just to much of a beast, on top of being much, much faster than normal for someone with his punching power.

 

[EchoPneuma]

NAh, Tyson is a big galute, Ali was fast, smart and manipulative. He would have Tyson talking to himself. His Rope-a-dope was classic.

I don't know about that.....

Cus D'Amato, a legendary boxing trainer, taught Mike that famous head-bob that he does.

This was a very methodical technique that allowed Tyson to hit very vital spots quite precisely. It just so happened that Mike's punching made him seem oaf-ish.

Tyson was quite surgical; he just did it quickly.

I would have to agree with Tyson.

I watched him fight in his prime, and I have never seen sombody kick the dirt outta people like Mike did, EVERYTIME!!!!

He would get them in the corner and just clobber them to nothing.

Ali was graceful and such, floated like a butterfly and whatnot...and that just wouldnt fly with Iron Mike.

He would corner the little butterfly and eat it.

Ali would win. He's smarter.

That IS funny, but Ali would still win.

Ali would have to avoid getting close to Tyson. Ali has a better boxing technique than Tyson but not the same power punch. Taller, smarter, but he would definitly have to show his best not to get knocked out by Tyson.

A couple of wrong moves from Ali and Tyson wins. Otherwise Ali has it!

Good point.

 

[mohawk]

If you consider both boxers in their prime, I would have to go with Tyson...he was too fast & too strong. Iremember watching him beat Michael Spinks in 31 seconds...no one thought that was posible. Spinks never fought again.

 

[brinny]

No Tyson, he bites.
