well you obviously know more than i do. i'm not a boxing nut but have seen espn classics of both enough to make that decision, but hell what do i know. you had ali with his speed and stamina, making half his opponents punch out, but if ali got caught in tyson's flurries, who knows?
@TeslaDRay Tucker...Tillis...Green...Smith...Ruddock...Douglas...Holifield...all still standing in round 10 vs Tyson and you think the never Ko'ed Ali would be gone by then ? LMFAO
@adrenacrumb Quoted in the St Joseph News Press Nov 20 1965: "He's not much of a fighter. But he's about the best there is around now." LA Times Oct 31 1970: he opined that Ali was not better than Jack Johnson or Jess Willard (!!) and also predicted that Ali would lose the upcoming Frazier fight. He called Ali "mediocre" in an old Ring Magazine which I don't have to hand. You can find loads of similar quotes in newspapers from that time.
@adrenacrumb Great, you think Gene Tunney, Nat Fleischer and Eddie Futch were retarded. Do you even know who those guys are? Tbh, you should have stuck to arguing the toss about Buster Douglas' height and weight.
@FlaviusConstantius Yes I do think they are retarded. It doesn't even matter what they thought, Tyson said he was the greatest, that means you must believe he doesn't know shit about boxing so how is someone who doesn't know shit about boxing going to be the greatest boxer?
Muhammad Ali would have Jabbed Gene Tunney's head off ! lol

You can't learn about Boxing by any other means but watching classic fights round after rounds. Highlight clips are deceptive.
