So i was having an argument with a mate of mine and he thinks Tyson will knock Ali out anyday. I however, think Ali would be too good for Tyson. What do you guys think? Who would really win if both fighters were at their very best?

Cheers,

Do we have weights? Off hand I would say Muhammad because he was more disciplined and as he said. 'I am the greatest!'

Mike Tyson in his prime would probably K.O Ali

Tyson at his best would knock Ali out on 3 rounds

I've seen both. Ali would win by tiring out Tyson. Tyson was found out when he took on better opponents not just the cronies early in his career. And before anyone jumps the gun on my statement, an example of this is that Lennox Lewis chased after Tyson for 5 years when Tyson was champ. Was always knocked back. Yet he was only too willing to give Tyson a go when Lewis himself had the belt.

Who hid from who?

I think Tyson would knock Ali out, Ali was just a motor mouth, HE was a good fighter in his day, But Tyson in his prime would have owned Ali,

Ali would not have been able to dance around and put on a show in the ring with Tyson, Tyson would roundhim up and bite off his ear then eat his children.

I know alot of people like Ali and he has become legendery, but I really hate the guy, He was a motor mouth show off just like Anthony Mundiene. And I hate Chock as well.

Ali might be a legend but no way would he tire tyson out in his prime. As for the Lennox Lewis statement I don't think anyone was all that keen on watching lennox back then. He was regarded as boring to watch, so probably not enough coin to make it happen. Its a shame Mike went on and soiled his name somewhat and we all forget he was probably unbeatable in his prime.

Yeah I dont think Ali was that smart, or any smarter than Mike, Tyson was a tug yes I agree. Ali was just a show off. Tyson would have stayed composed, being more profesional, he would not have lost concentration by Ali dancing like the dumb boxes who were fooled by it back in the day, Tyson would have let Ali waste his energy dancing then Knocked him out when the time was right,

I think it would have gone 12 rounds, And I think Tyson would have knocked Ali out in the 12th

I totally agree, Tyson destroyed his image by being a dumb sh1t. But he was one hell of a fighter.

You only got to look at Tyson in his Prime and compare it to Ali in his prime, Tyson was ripped and fit, Ali was a bit like jelly compaired to Tyson

I personally think Ali would beat Tyson but IF Tyson was able to land a punch it'll be goodnight Ali. I mean think about it, Ali is the greatest boxer ever and he didnt fight small opponents. Joe Frasier was a big boy, one of the biggest boxers, so i dnt think Ali would have any problems going up against Tyson.
