Ali is by far the greatest of all-time. Tyson may of had a shot had he not gone to jail.

Ali, Not only for boxing but for Humanitarian Reasons, Vietnam War. Having The Most Colorful Personna In the ring and Outside of the Ring, Tyson Fights were over before they Began, People wanted a Showman and in Ali they got it. He Never bit anyones ear off also. He is One of Boxings' Greatest Milestones still with us. When was the last time you herd of Ali in jail for avoidable Things, Drugs, Women, Suspensions, anyone can be a Tyrant.
But it takes a Gifted person To be an Icon or Legend.

Come on? Even Lennox Lewis made Tyson look like a complete amateur.
Ali was far superior, he would have danced round tyson for 4 rounds then finished him of in the fifth. Tyson would have hardly landed a punch on Ali.

ALI in simply EVERY way possible:
As a heavyweight boxer!
As a Champion!
As an American citizen!
As a Man!
As an example to the whole world!
As a human being!
ALI is "The Greatest!" TYSON is a piece of dogshit on the bottom of some homeless bum's rotting boot!

Ali might be the greatest, and Foreman, Frazier, Norton, Louis, even Schmelling were greater than Tyson. Tyson was a putz, stupid, and did not have the INSTINCT of a TRUE fighter to make it. Tyson is ranked with the Leon Spinks types of boxing, a few lucky shots, then they faded away, into oblivion, where they belong. You obviously haven't watched many boxing matches!

Neither one. Both were great fighters but not the best. I think Tyson could have been the best ever but ruined himself by the choices he made. Ali was a great fighter but had 5 losses. Not all of them were great fighters.I think Ali said he was the greatest so many times people actually started to believe it. Was no doubt the most popular fighter. I think the 2 best heavyweights of all time are rocky marciano and george foreman.

ali by a long shot. both brought fans to boxing, i think tyson brought even more fans than ali because of his agressive style and his knockout power. ali was the greatest heavyweight of all time with joe louis being second. tyson is probably the biggest "what if" in boxing history. he wasted his talent after cus damato died and neglected the skills he was taught. if he hadn't gone to jail and hadn't abandoned the style he was taught, he would probably be one of the greatest. not the greatest though.

Ali will be remembered for float like a butterfly and sting like a bee! Tyson is remembered as biting someones ear off.... Ali is hands down the winner.

i'm previous, I observed a tremendous type of Ali's fights, and that i observed a tremendous type of Tyson to boot. have self assurance me after I allow you to keep in mind that Ali might want to have taken Mike aside. truthfully Ali became being polite, and Mike, Ray and Arsenio to boot as anybody else over 40 in the international knew it. Mike in no way confronted some thing like Ali, and in reality about a nil.5 dozen of the boys Ali beat might want to have likely given Mike Tyson worlds of difficulty. i imagine Ali might want to have executed really a lot a similar as Holyfield did with Mike. Thumbs as a lot as Bundini, I too observed the educate, and Ali became only being humble. Ali by mid round KO in a one sided beating.

Ali, hands down. No heavyweight ever possessed the speed, agility, physical attributes, ring savvy, and prowess Ali had. He was also able to take a punch, although because of his skills, he took less than most. He also had an over abundance of well deserved confidence. He wasn't able to fight during his prime, but if he had, I don't think Frazier or Norton would have had a career for as long as they did. I didn't like him at first because of his bragging, but he did back it up.
