Best Heavyweight Fighter
 

Who was the best heavyweight of all time in his prime, not for his career. By prime I mean at his absolute best. I know everyone hates Tyson, but he was an absolute beast at his best. Because of their contrasting styles my fantasy fight would be Ali vs. Tyson, again, both at their absolute best.

I think Ali would figure out a way to win.

You don't have to post it. This stuff is beyond repetitive and clutters the forum.

There have been lots of boxing threads in which the best ever have been discussed.

Whatever. Tyson isn't even on the list. Name one "good win" he ever had other than Spinks laying down. There are none. Buster Douglass owned him and Mike was in his prime. I love how people want to ignore that fact. That wasn't a flukey win, that was an ass kicking by a guy who wasn't afraid of him. He came back and got owned twice by Holyfield where he was exposed as a total fraud. Typical bully that had trouble with anyone who wasn't afraid of him. He struggled mightily against Razor Ruddick twice. Maybe the most overrated athlete of the 20th century.

Give me Ali and Foreman.

I don't think Tyson was the best ever either, but he was far from his prime physically or emotionally in that fight and still knocked Douglas down. He's certainly in the top 10.
