Which fight would u have rather seen?
- Thread starter JAY?
- Start date
I'm more of a casual fan
I watch all the main fights
I'm pretty sure u guys could come up with better match ups
But those 2 I would have liked to have seen
And I'd probably pick the mayweather vs paq fight
Kings County

This question is getting very tired. Simply put Tyson's best wins were against a old Holmes and a blown up lightheavy weight Spinks. he devastated a lot of overmatched fighters! Then he got knocked out at 24yrs old by a journeyman fighter, Buster Douglas. He lost to an older Holyfield 2x and Lewis once! He never knocked out a great fighter in their prime!

Ali best wins Liston 2x, Williams, Frazier, Norton 2x, Foreman, and Shavers. His losses in his prime were to Frazier and Norton, although both were after his 3 year layoff due to his draft status. When he came back, he was slower & not able to stay on his toes and move as fast with his legs. Thats why Frazier's style bothered him. His perpetual movement and heart kept him coming at Ali. Tyson didn't fight that way. Tyson had more power than Frazier but not the heart or desire to keep coming as he was being hit. Power didn't bother Ali, nobody Ko'd him until his corner threw in the towel when he fought Holmes at 38yrs old.
Ali before the layoff doesn't lose to Frazier. He moved like a middleweight, but had some KO power.The fact that he slowed a little as his body got thicker (as we all do) which forced Ali to rest at times, allowing Frazier to work the body.
But we are talking Ali at his best vs Tyson at his best. Then we have to look at Ali in 1967 or so, he be on his toes in & out as nobody before or since has. He would be frustrating & taunting Mike to no end. Mike would probably try to hit him with the ring post. Tyson would be swinging from his heals go for the Ko. As Ali played mind games and made Tyson miss. Then picking him apart.
A pre layoff Ali. Ko's Tyson quicker than you can say Buster Douglas!

Tysons wins over greats in their prime - none! Other good fighters - Ruddock, Tucker.....
And I'm open to anyone else's idea of great fighters that Mike beat, in their prime!

Mike woulda loss to george foreman 4real. Mike my niggga till the end But ali woulda tagged him up
At one time it would have been Tyson vs Ali easily but over the years I have become to believe that Ali would take him to school fairly easily once he got in his head. But that Manny vs Floyd fight was intriguing as hell when both were in there primes. I would have loved to find out if Floyd could have kept Manny off of him for 12 rounds and whether Manny could put hands on Floyd the way he did so many others.
That's how I feel
I would have loved to see how mayweather woulda defended paqs offensive barrage
