Ali vs. Tyson: Who Would Win?

[CaliSkinsFan92]

I think Ali would win. However I think Tyson would have a very good chance. He was untouchable until he got involved with Don King and lost his trainer Cus D'Amato. After That is when he went down hill, the partying, the technique got sloppy and all he did was try to power his way through fights; his defense declined terribly. But both in their prime would be a amazing fight too bad it couldn't happen.

How can anyone prove they are untouchable though beating subpar competition?

Well i dunno....lol. I think its the same way people argue Floyd Mayweather. Half the people think he is the best thing ever while the other half says he hasn't fought anyone. Tyson couldn't really help that the competition was lax and by the time he fought anyone decent (Evander) he had gone off the deep end.

Reading the thread might give you some insight into why the poll results are the way they are (and why the results mirror the overwhelming views of the boxing historians).

You're assuming I didn't read the thread because I'm surprised that the poll so heavily favors Ali? I don't see how you got that. I read the thread. I'm still surprised at the poll results. And I still disagree with them. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. We'll never know. But at least I won't try to be presumptive and put someone down in the process.

a) the people who say that are not real boxing fans

b) comparing Mayweather to Tyson is absurd on so many different levels.

I was just your comment. It kind of looked like you hadn't read the thread at all. My mistake.
