Whatever you think Ali's prime was wether it was the 23 year old Ali who beat Liston or the 32 year old Ali who beat Foreman vs a prime Tyson (who was in his prime at 19/20/21).
Who would win between a prime Ali vs prime Mike Tyson?

Ali. He would jab him and was quick enough to move before Tyson could get in position to unleash clean blows. Tyson liked getting up on his opponents with those short powerful uppercuts and hooks.

Alis reach would give tyson fits
Ali would have figured out how to beat Tyson. Frazier was a similar fighter to Tyson and Ali beat him twice when Ali was past his prime.
Nah, they were quite different. Tyson is more of a midrange fighter who won't smother his opponent. He is also more explosive.
I think Ali would have an easier time beating Tyson, but on the flip side I think Tyson would wash Frazier.
This thread has been made already
Tyson would be right, because during their primes Ali was faster than Tyson and on top of that Ali was great on defense and Tyson struggled against taller fighters that could jab. Ali's jab was ferocious.

Mike's face would be cut up so bad it would look like he fought a box of razor blades.
Ali's reach, hand speed and technical excellence would eat Mike up.*
