Like Jones vs Sugar Ray Rob. Jones would beat him with his unique style.

That's debatable.

What a great video, I had seen it before, but was nice to see a minute of it again just now. I'm a huge fan of Tyson and I also believe boxers have generally become smarter, more conditioned and better prepared as time went on. So I definitely think, given both men in their primes, Tyson wins. But then seeing Ali point to Tyson when Arsenio Hall asks him that question makes me think twice. Maybe I just loved Tyson's style and am being biased... It's funny how both Ali and Tyson are so incredibly respectful and humble around each other given how they act away from each other.

Tyson is oe of the biggest travestys in boxing. Mike is the first fighter i really remember watching live and for that i was always be a huge fan.

Sadly though after leaving Kevin Rooney and cutting all ties with the Amato conection he was never the same fighter.

If Cus was 10 years younger and Mike had kept Rooney in camp he easily had the potential to go down as the greatest heavyweight in history. Ive no doubt he would have broke Rocky Marciano's record.

Its scary to think what a dedicated Mikes prime would have been like. He was just really a kid when he ripped through the HW scene.

I think Tyson has a punchers chance, but I think Ali would just weather the storm and come out on top, maybe stopping him late or getting an easy UD.

Ali would have tormented Tyson taken an easy decision

I think tyson would of kicked his ass his aggression in the ring, power and speed all in one boxer would of been to much for Ali. Ali couldn't handle a tyson hook to the face for long and tyson had a good defense and movement in the ring. tyson would roll under Ali's jabs and would give him so many body shot Ali would be to tired to finish the whole fight.

Tyson in his early 20's against Ali after missing three years with the draft thing...no contest. Ali had no legs after he came back and wouldn't be able to hold tyson off.

Ali in his prime would play with Tyson and stop him if he didnt lose it and get DQ'd first
