Re: Tyson Vs. Ali
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Both in their prime. Who wins? [/ QUOTE ] 1990 Feb. 11 -- James Douglas, KO by 10 1996 Nov. 9 -- Evander Holyfield, TKO by 11 1997 June 28 -- Evander Holyfield, L DQ 3 2002 June 8 -- Lennox Lewis, KO by 8 2004 July 30 -- Danny Williams, Louisville, KY, KO by 4 It can be argued that Mike Tyson was never much of a boxer. He has a suspect chin, poor defense and no heart. He was just a bully with a big punch, whenever he couldn't knock someone out in the early rounds he would get tired and just quit. [/ QUOTE ] I wholeheartedly agree. The only fighter who ever stood up to him that he beat was Razor Ruddick and he was life and death to do that.

Re: Tyson Vs. Ali
They've been showing a lot of Ali fights on ESPN classic lately, no way you could think Tyson has a chance if you watch these fights.
In Ali/Frasier 3 Ali said before the final round 'I feel like I'm going to die, this is what death must feel like.' (Ali won that fight) The man was hardcore man. F*cking hardcore. I don't think Ali was ever knocked out in his entire career. Can any boxing geek confirm this for me? Tyson can't beat someone that he can't knock out. I do think that Tyson fights are more entertaining, just due to the sheer brutality and reckless abandoned nature of them. It's like watching a Rocky fight, but it's real. That being said, I think Tyson/Douglas is the greatest fight I have ever seen. But entertainment value and skill are two very different things. Sure it's fun to straddle and bet at the flop regardless of what your hole cards are, but does that strategy make you a winner?

Re: Tyson Vs. Ali
As someone who used to compete on a regular basis on my home planet of Krypton, I know this: All skills being equal, physical conditioning is what will give you the edge. That said, a physically superior opponent stands little chance against superior skill. I've seen this played out over and over.
