Tyson vs. Ali

[DannyCox]

As an ex-boxer and an avid boxing fan, in fact it is the only sport I watch, I really don't think Ali would have had much trouble with Tyson. He would use the same strategy he did against most of the pure punchers. Early rounds would be a distance dance with loads of jabs (jabs really wear you out, they are punishing). Tyson would tire and slow and then in the middle rounds, Ali would come inside, tie him up, and work the body. If it got to the 8th or 9th, Ali would back off again, and throw the combinations he was so great at in late rounds. If he didn't KO him, he'd kill him on points.

Tyson never had the chance to fight with the same calibre of boxers as Ali, Frazer, Foreman, or even Ken Norton in his prime. Just look at how Holyfield would confuse him, and Holyfield was nowhere near the boxer that the greats of the '70s were.

The fight I would have loved to see is Tyson against George Chuvalo, both in their prime. That would have been an insane brawl and exciting!
