He is the absolutely last person I would want to fight in the ring. I'd take on Ali before I took on Iron Mike.

I'd rather play MJ than Shaq.....doesn't mean Shaq is better than MJ.

LG...Ok, I am not saying this kind of reasoning is always true...

Ty...Cute...

RIM...You, my friend, obviously know nothing about real life...If I stepped in the ring with Tyson, I would have no idea whether or not I would come out alive...Ali would probably recognize I suck, and beat me down gently, or refuse to fight, etc...Tyson...WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS MOTHERFUCKER WOULD DO!!! He's straight up crazy...

I mean c'mon guys, I don't really think Tyson is better than Ali for crissake, that is obvious...But to me, he will always be the greatest fighter to ever live lol...Seriously though, he could have very easily become so...

Dude, I have been a fan of boxing since I was 6 years old...Studied it and practiced it all through college...I watch it as much as I can, and love the sport...So, forgive me if you walk into the thread and say something wild, and I half jokingly ask that you be kicked outta the thread, lol...

Its just that I can tell from the things you say, you've probably never seen an Ali fight...Ali fought and beat the most skilled fighters of his era...He was a legend, fighting and beating legends...You don't become a legend by gently beating people down...

Among the things posted in this thread:

A clip of Ali knocking a man out while he was taking a step back.
Ali throwing 11 punches in 4 seconds.

You'd be hard pressed to find a man Tyson beat that will end up in the boxing hall of fame...

Mike was definitely the scariest motherfucker, I'll give you that...But so sayeth me, and boxing experts all around the world, he was not the most skilled, nor the hardest hitting man the sport has seen...

I can't think of a reason why you'd think being in the ring with Ali would be any easier than being in the ring w/Tyson, as the results of either bout would be the same...Ali was a boxer, that was his style...Tyson was a fighter...In their prime, Ali would have dismantled Tyson like any tall, ranged fighter with a jab would have...Did you see what Lennox Lewis did to him..?

Let history point to you the champions of said sport, and see which kind has dominated...
