I think Ali would win. Mike is very strong, but he is subject to emotion, and very often this was the cause of his defeat. He stopped sticking to the plan and began to act spontaneously according to his mood and emotions. Ali, in turn, was very calm and prudent.

It seems to me that the people who are too young to have seen Ali fight (in addition to the ones that are too young to have seen either fight) are the ones that are saying Tyson would have any chance. Maybe, just maybe, as nineteen-year-olds, Tyson would stand a chance against the best, smartest heavyweight that ever lived - but it would have been a small chance. Tyson cut his teeth robbing little old ladies as a street thug (excellent cardio work running away). He had a brutal, bullying style that carried him to a heavyweight title, but failed him as he aged. Ali was the shrewdest, most adaptive fighter who ever laced them up. He was successful for decades despite having a few "I'm here for a big payday" fights. Tyson's career was beating the crap out of a bunch of cans, followed by success as a "berserker", followed by endless garbage fights that made him huge amounts of money. He was manipulated by everyone around him, and was too immature/unintelligent to have much of a say.
I completely agree with you, the money he earned stopped Mike from working on himself.

This is such a casual boxing fan question. There's no doubt Ali would win a million times out of a million fights. Mike Tyson is 0 and 6 out of all his big title fights against elite opposition. He could beat journeymen and world class fighters but NEVER could beat Elite level world champions. As a hardcore boxing fan this question just makes me giggle :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Wow, as also a huge boxing fan, I’d have to say your assessment may be a little flawed. How many elite fighters did he beat before he went to jail, when he was younger??? And if u say 0 or only 1. We’ll then that is where your assessment is flawed… js

So who exactly is Elite? I can't wait for you to tell me. If you say Larry Holmes who was an old 38 year old man and was inactive for two years and coming off two consecutive back-to-back losses to Michael Spinks then i'm not replying!!

I can't wait for this :LOL:

Joe Frazier would have knocked Tyson out in a short fight. Tyson had no defense and needed none because most guys were scared of him. Frazier was scared of no one and never let up or backed down and he had a cross armed defense that only Foreman and Ali could get thru. Tyson would not have lasted against Frazier's left hook.

Tyson never displayed any intelligence in the ring when it came to adapting, Ali was a ring genius when it came to adapting style changes to meet the situation,, Ali would have KO'd Tyson sometime after 7 rounds.

If Muhammad Ali was the same age as Mike Tyson, who would win if they faced each other in the ring?

in my humble opinion and to be very honest, I am a big fan of Mike Tyson, and I certainly believe that he would win, but it would be a complicated fight for both sides

Two legends, no doubt about that, but they were in two different era. Two different boxing style. If I really have to choose, I would choose Tyson. Ali liked defensive boxing, but against Tyson there was no effective defence in my opinion...

Good evening.Ali´s style was unique but Tyson in his prime could knock him out.According to both styles this would be the Ali-Foreman2 .The great Ali would have my vote,anyway.
I think Foreman was the greatest heavyweight ever; Ali would find a way to exhaust Tyson, then pick him off in late rounds.
