I'm really not sure, Smokin Joe gave Ali real problems and i would say there are some similarity's between Frazier and Tyson. Ali would definitely outclass Tyson but it would just be a case of whether Tysons raw aggression would win the day, When Tyson was that age he looked like he could walk through walls. I would say then that it would either be Tyson early KO or Ali on points, sorry for sitting on the fence, Great question though.

Ali would rope-a-dope him. Just like he did with the heavy hitting George Foreman. But the thing is...George Foreman had more stamina than Tyson. If a boxer was able to take Tyson into the 4th round then that boxer owned Tyson.

People may not realize it but Ali fought people who were mean and strong and fast just like Tyson. But not only that. His opponents had superior boxing skills, stamina, and smarts. For example compare the jab of Sonny Liston to Tyson's. Oh wait, I don't recall Tyson ever throwing anything that I would consider to be a jab. As a matter of fact, I don't recall Tyson ever throwing what I would call a straight punch either.
Sorry for the sarcasm, but I hope you understand my point .
Don't get me wrong. Tyson was a great fighter, and he is major part of boxing history. I love watching his fights. To his credit, he was technically correct when throwing hooks and uppercuts. But when we compare him to boxers from the golden age of boxing, we start to turn him into something that he is not.

I would say that Ali would win, he is very fast and powerful,but Mike's power might win also.But still I'm for Ali.
