Tyson if the fight was under 5. Maybe Ali if it went over that. A big maybe too.

Ali would win this fight. Rope a dope and trash talk for a while and then do a little dance and lights out mike.

Ali hands down. I asked the same question until I actually got a chance to see Ali fight.

I got to watch all his fights growing up (well the ones in the 70's) he was unreal. Fought against Ken Norton and got his jaw broken. He fought like 10 rounds that way. He beat George Foreman back in his prime. Everbody also needs to watch the "Thirller
in Manilla".

You have to catch some of the C. Clay fights. In order to get a better idea of how good he was. Roy Jones fast with Tyson KO power.

Tyson while Rooney was his trainer is a hard argument to make. Youtube some of those fights. Tyson was the best 1-2 combination fighter I have ever seen. And yes I am old enough to have seen Ali fight.

Tyson was awesome...........but a straight forward fighter. Ali could dance all over the ring and to smart for Tyson

Being only 26 yrs old, I'm gonna say Tyson in his prime. Mike Tyson from 1985 could put his fists through a brick wall, and worse yet nothing scared him. Because of all the pandimonium that has occured later in his career people forget how dominant IRON MIKE was. Enough punching power to knock your freakin head off

agreed but ali would be hard for him to hit, got to remember ail was one of the most intelligent/adaptive fighters ever, tyson would not control the fight after the first round or two.

Mike FTW!!!

**Speedy_Gonzales** · 12-16-2008, 06:46 PM

Ali 1966

**Speedy_Gonzales** · 12-16-2008, 06:50 PM

Ali 1965

**Speedy_Gonzales** · 12-16-2008, 06:53 PM

here is a great video highligts of his career

**juiced99ws6** · 12-16-2008, 11:59 PM

clone them both and then about 20-25 years from now we can make them fight.... to the death.

**astyles** · 12-17-2008, 04:19 AM

Ali had skills.........iron Mike was a brawler

**zero_proto** · 12-17-2008, 07:03 AM

mike, if he caught ali he would have slowed him down. I like ken norton alot, beast of a man, but tyson would slaughter him. It would be a good fight, i've seen both fight. It is a hard decision to make. I choose tyson though.
