Katsumoto:

I have to agree with this. Tyson was great but he did not fight a great pool of boxers like Ali did. Ali had three fights with Frazier, one memorable fight with the Foreman (arguably the hardest boxer of all time), beat the legendary Sonny Liston, Ken Norton. The 60s and 70s produced the best generation of heavyweight boxers and Ali fought them all.

Some argued that Tyson had woman troubles before his fight with Buster Douglas but that was nothing compared to the drama Ali faced during the Thrilla in Manilla fight with Frazier when he went to Manilla with his girlfriend. His wife saw his girlfirend being introduced to Ferdinand Marcos as his wife and flew straight to Manilla. Ali still fought a gruelling 15 rounds with Frazier and won.

Marciano was no great boxer; he fought for the mob.
Its not hard to tell those that know their boxing

WHich credible opponent was Alli still fighting at 40? Pray tell? Who did he beat at age 40
Alli won his last Boxing bout at age 36 while Tyson won his last at age 37.
Tyson's prime was between 1985 and 1991 when he went to jail and who tell us his record in that time.
Before Tyson went to jail his record was 41-1. Before Douglas Tyson was at 37-0 Show us Allis records.
Tyson had 6 losses in his career 5 of which were after he spent 4yrs in jail. Which Sportman goes to jail for 4yrs and would still be at his peak
Tyson's record against who?Peter Mc Neely and Buster Mathis and Bruce Seldon?You have to be shyttin me,for real.
People who couldn't even beat their wives.
Go watch Ali footage on ESPN Classics and know the people he fought.Ken Norton Jr-certified killer is amongst them.Ernie Shavers-almost beheaded Ali before he rallied to win.
Ali never fought any decent heavyweight till he met Holyfield.He had a chance to face Lennox Lewis in 1996 but decided it would be easier to be stripped of his WBC title instead of facing an obvious defeat.Ali faced ALL COMERS.He never dodged a fight,even when he was too out-of shape(Larry Holmes).
Like someone says,this title is an insult
