Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson?

If Ali could dance around Tyson the first 5 rounds or so, like he did with the other big punchers at the time, then I guess I would say Ali.

as much as i love tyson, there is no doubt that ali would have won. tyson has always had trouble with bigger fighters, and ali had size combined with speed and power. Even though tyson had the ability to knock a guy out in one punch, he always got frustrated when the fight went longer than 4 rounds. Ali was the master at trash talking, and i think he would have easily been able to get into tyson's head. My prediction is that ali would have won on points, or tyson would have gotten DQed.

The Greatest (Ali) isn't called that without a good reason! He indeed would have beaten Mike Tyson, using the same tactics he used to defeat George Forman in the rumble in the jungle. Lets face it, Mike was never a rocket scientist and I don't think he could have figured out Ali's style. He would have been frustrated like Foreman and basically beaten himself.

Not sure they would have fought each other. In the 70s when Ali was at his peak, boxing was a respected sport with a huge following. A thug with Tyson's record might have been booted out. Nowdays with more opportunities for black people, an athlete with Ali's talent might have gotten into a more respected and lucrative field. Boxing today is a grubby and crooked business.

Muhammed Ali. Speed would mesmerize Tyson. He'd know enough to stay away from Tyson. Bob and weave and sting like a bee.

I think that there is no doubt that Ali would mop the floor with Tyson and I'll keep my opinions of Tyson to myself.

muhammad ali had a toughness that Tyson didn't have, plus the skill to deal with him, so he would win by late round tko or decision.
