People will never be honest when it comes to Ali as there has boxers after him who would take him out. For definite, Lewis at 6'6 with great speed beats him but Ali would knock out Thanos according to "y'all":beli: so that ain't happening I guess

No fukking way Thanos even comes close to Ali dude! :dahell: The only thing that could realistically beat Ali was age and Father Time. That which we all must succumb to. Ali beats Thanos in the 5th round :smugbiden:

Tyson would beat Foreman.
Equal Power,
Tyson is a more skilled boxer than George, with better defense, and far quicker.
how=tyson never really fought any real fighters. most of his opponets were scared of him or over the hill

Hell even Lennox Lewis would laugh at the notion that he could handle Ali. :russ:

You think he beat Holmes :russ:

They robbed him to preserve the white hype of yesteryear's record.

You could argue that the first fight, which was close

He legitimately lost the 2nd fight.

Lewis was fast, but he wasn't as fast as Ali and I never saw any proof Lennox could handle a guy with Ali's speed & boxing acumen

We know Ali could beat bigger, stronger guys.

Name me 3 decent fighters than Tyson beat without googling it. Jordan played at the highest level in a team sport, that analogy you made there is just dumb

Tyson was great for his era, don't get me wrong but if he was around in the 60s and 70s he'd have been just another heavyweight

HE beat virtually the entire top 10 from the year he became champion.

By default those are "decent fighters".

He made good fighters look bad, which is why we don't take them seriously.

Like nikkaz in here are saying that Larry Holmes was done when Tyson beat him, but Larry Holmes beat Ray Mercer 4 years after Tyson wiped him out and Mercer was a bonafide killer who had Holyfield on the ropes and almost killed Tommy Morrison.

HE fought everybody he could fight in his era.

Lewis don't need to be as fast, Ali isn't outboxing Lewis and Lewis would have a good 30lbs advantage

"I like to think I'm a bad muthafukka, a vicious muthafukka, i don't give a fukk, and i talk that shyt but ummm.....Ali's a giant. There's no other fighter that could match him. He'll die for this shyt. I'm not gonna die for this. Ali's a savage. He's an animal. He's not like us."

This is the main reason he would lose. Tyson never said anybody could beat him. Going into the fight with doubt in winning.

Ali better not try that rope a dope shyt with Tyson tho

Prime Ali was 220

Prime Lennox was 240

20 lbs is not a lot .

Hell, Deontay Wilder is regularly outweighed by 30, 40 lbs against guys.

Rocky Marciano was regularly outweighed by guys he KTFO

David Haye beat Valuev who was like 100 lbs heavier than him.

In the heavyweight division you see 20,30 lb differences all the time because it's open weight.

I'd still put my money on Tyson, even knowing all of this, because in his prime he would've still had Cus' original training team around him (Prime Tyson + Cus still alive = No competition, he could take out any fighter with ease, Ali included) to advise him and keep him on point and they knew how to get the best out of him but either way this fight would've made us see both boxers in a totally different light due to sheer level of skills - both mental and physical - at play as it would've been as cerebral as a top level chess match and brutal as Roman gladiators in an arena but Mike still had more character, as Cus spoke on

Quoting myself to bring this back, in Mikes own words him and Cus used to strategize on how to beat the best like Lewis, Ali and Dempsey:



Tyson had the talent and ability, Cus had the experience and insight:



Put those two together with the determination to succeed and that team would've laid anybody out.
