If the timing had been such that Mohammmid Ali and Mike Tyson had both been in their respective primes at the same time and fought each other who would win?
My guess is Tyson wins if Ali makes the mistake of going toe to toe too soon, but if he stalls for time and gradually wears Tyons out by dancing around the ring with his greater agility then Ali wins.
That would have been one hell of a fight.
Good points,creatorof,I'll take Ali 2 out 3 fights.Also Ali fought superior fights;Frazier,Norton,Liston and Foreman.
shareFrazier and Liston were very similar to Tyson, although perhaps not as powerful.
Ali would have had trouble, but in his prime, he was lightning fast for a heavywieght. He would have out thought and worn down Tyson with jabs and superior movement.
At night, all cats are grey.
Perfectly summed it up.
shareAli fought in a era of great fighters where there was competition.
Tyson came in at the right time went on a incredible knockout streak and ended up losing his championship to a plug while still in his so called "Prime"
I think the better question is how would Tyson have done in the 60's/70's era
