[b]Any boxing fan will agree with me that these two are among the greatest boxers to ever step foot into the ring.Last week I was watching some of Tyson's knockout highlights(make una no mind me i dey on break) and an old friend though not a boxing fan was like

Was there any boxer who could stand these guy's punches? it was like one being hit with an elephant tusk the way the opponents fell but i countered him with Ali. Ali is the greatest heavyweight of all time and he was able to hold Smoking joe and foreman's punches and we'll agree these two will surely make the list of top 20 hardest punchers of all time.Foreman prior to the Ali fight had 37 k.o before he met him.Frazier was also a knockout artist but later i thought about it that this looks like a potentially good debate ooo

Could Ali have survived Tyson? and when I mean Tyson I mean the Tyson before Cus d'amato's death


so the question is



PRIME TIME ALI VS PRIME TIME TYSON


Please be very objective no sentiments. I have my opinions and i'll share them as we discuss

A40:

Mike Tyson will not survive 3 rounds with George Foreman, Ali would probably out smart him in the ring as well. We have had this argument long time ago. Tyson's record is suspect if we wan critically analyze am. An extremely washed-up Larry Holmes is the biggest win in his CV. Hell i would put Riddick Bowe ahead of Tyson, Tyson spent his prime years ducking Evander Holyfield for goodness sake

Aareonakakanfo:




[b]Let me analyze your post

Mike tyson will not survive 3 rounds of foreman: Common i wouldn't say that with much confidence. i think tyson was a harder puncher than foreman. Its difficult to predict matches like that. One thing i notice about tyson is that he lacks endurance so if he doesn't knock you down before round 7 and your punch is as hard as his, then he's a goner. He relies excessively on his punch power so all in all that's tricky

I agree with you on your point that Ali will out smart him. that's one area tyson is lacking, intelligence. Speaking of tyson's record, i think its a bit harsh for us to judge tyson by his opponents. The man was good. If we want to do that, then we might as well add marciano and larry holmes to the list after all they faced the same kind of oppnents i.e washed up fighters

Lastly no disrespect to bowe, he was a great boxer but still rating him ahead of tyson is a bit harsh to me. Bowe never fought an A class fighter except holyfield[/b]

A40:

Well i have seen Foreman decimate Joe Frazier who IMO would also destroy Tyson so i am sure Foreman was a harder puncher. George Foreman was a bad man bruh.

Bowe's record was impeccable. He easily beat a prime Evander and his lack of longevity is his only knock. I think he would also have beaten Tyson. Tyson lost to every decent boxer bar Larry Holmes on his last legs

Foreman a harder puncher? well i might have to go back to my clips. Of course foreman will make my heavyweight top 10. Seems you love bowe so much but truth be told he never faced any top fighter except holyfield and he lost the rematch. E be like say you get beef with Tyson oo

A40:

Foreman that was knocking out fighters way into his mid 40's some almost half his age? Abeg Tyson cannot survive George Foreman forget story

Bowe was 2-1 vs Evander, Evander's win was via split decision while Bowe won convincingly

Aareonakakanfo:



Sorry i take that back! it was a 2-1 so you're right. Speaking of a foreman-tyson fight

The way Foreman fought, he would've struggled against tyson. A slugfest is exactly what Tyson provokes his usually much bigger opponents to do. That's how Tyson always manages to find the inside.you and i know Tyson's hands speed was huuh!

Tyson likes opponents that trade punches because they are not as flexible as him. I'm sure you'll agree with me foreman wasn't as flexible as tyson.nope? Foreman lacked good head movement. Like i already said, to say one of the two will win with so much confidence is tricky. At the end of the day, it will all boil down to endurance.If foreman can take him all the way to 7, then tyson is history but i respect your opinion though.
