I don't know [censored] about boxing, that being said, I'd say Tyson wins pretty easily.

Default Tyson...

...was unbeatable in his prime, even though i think Ali was by far the greater fighter. he would've knocked ali out, no doubt.

my all time fantasy matchup would be Marciano v Foreman (circa '71)- two huge punchers that were damn near impossible to KO.

It's easy for tyson to be unbeatable in his prime when he doesn't fight anyone with any talent. Ali fought and won some of the greatest fights of all time.

Tyson was very good in his prime, but he was easily flustered when people could take his shots and punch back. Ali in a wide decision or a late round KO over a tired Tyson.

Foreman was a harder puncher and better fighter than Tyson and Ali handled him.

tyson was far, far faster than foreman or ali. i remember when foreman was asked about tyson in the early 90s- he said something about any fighter having to be nuts to fight him, and that he considered tyson the greatest living fighter. If foreman thought Tyson would be tougher to beat than Ali, i'm with him on that.

While Tyson's hand speed was faster than other heavyweights, Ali's hand speed was faster than Tyson's yet still.

Ali had better footwork. Ali had better reflexes. Ali was just more coordinated. And Ali was bigger than Tyson, and he defeated bigger beasts than Tyson.
