Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson
 

Yes, I am actually doing a non-basketball related poll. :D

Okay, both fighters are in the prime of their careers. They got 15 long rounds to box. In the end, who'd be the winner?

Muhammad Ali he is/ was much quicker than tyson

Tyson.

That's right.

Ali was too savy for Tyson.

Different times, different Boxers you can't compare them to each other.

Tyson fought a lotscrubs, Ali fought elite boxers. Some would overloook that, see a Tyson fight, see the result and think Tyson was unstoppable. Ali's era, there were more world class boxers and Ali was the best of them.

Ali would have just been too good for Tyson

Tyson was too much of a brawler, Ali would've threw him off with foot work and then eventually tire him out.

It wouldn't really matter who won, just watching the knockout shot (and there would be one by somebody :mad: ) would be beautiful.

Ali fought in the golden days of boxing, with great contenders

Tyson fought out of shape white guys

tough call... I'm going to say Tyson for this reason... Ali played a lot of games and dancing and such, but he also let himself get hit a lot... rope-a-dope and such... Tyson in his prime had possible the hardest punch of all time. All he'd need is one good shot and Ali would be done... maybe not drop on that shot, but would be enough to get him to drop his gaurd and let tyson finish him off.

Tyson wouldn't even make my top 5 best heavyweights. The guy fought only two guys I'd call great and was beaten badly in three fights. He was also knocked out in his prime by a 40-1 shot and then later by a 25-1 shot in Danny Williams.

Ali would laugh at this twerp.

See, I can't judge or fault a guy on who he fought. Was it Tysons fault in his prime he didn't have a Frazier or Foreman to face?

Well VEL it's not like Foreman didn't have a hard punch and it's not like Ali wasn't pounded in his day. He absorbed a ton of shots in his day. Foreman was the original 'Clubber Lang' and Ali showed people how a technician can make a brawler beat himself.

Oh and Ali, he didn't hit with a light touch either.

No argument there, but Foreman was also much bigger then Tyson, Tyson combined that amazing power w/ speed and a small frame which allowed him to avoid a lot. (and yes, I know Foreman wasn't always as big as he is now weight wise).

Ali, definitely.

So, there are 4 people who actually voted for Tyson?

Were they all Heyman?

Ali is the Greatest, Tyson wouldnt last 5 rounds.

:wave:

Ali would rock Tyson. Tyson wouldn't be able to match the footwork and would definately get thrown off by the mind-games.

Ali easily.

Could Tyson lose? Of course... but I really don't think people are giving him enough credit.

The man was fast, hit hard and had good footwork.

It's not his fault there were not great HW's to face and well, it was his fault that he missed a good chunk of the prime of his career when they HW's starting getting good. (then again, so did Ali).

Tyson, I would've compare him to Foreman, but he's not even that. Short, Ali would jab him to death.

I'd compare Tyson to Sonny Liston. Liston was a basketcase too.

Is this topic serious? :|

He had a Foreman and Holyfield in his prime and did nothing. He had years of rest others didn't and in his prime, he got smacked about by a Buster Douglas!

Ali within 6 rounds.
