Iron Mike Tyson vs Float like a butterfly Ali?



Now I know Ali was a great mover, fast on his feet and swift with his punches but the fact still remains that Ali did not generate much power in his punches. As for Tyson he was also fast on his feet and a great bob and weave kind of boxer. Who had devestating power in both hands.

My question is what do you think the outcome would be if an 87' Tyson who faught Tucker were to fight a 74' Ali who faught Folley?

Tyson:Fast feet-great pressure-brutal power in both hands-vicious left hook-devastating upper cut-peek-o-boo-solid chin.

Ali:Fast feet-great escape artist-fast hands-great jab-rope a dope-solid chin.

Who would win what would be the ultimite and best fight the world has/had ever seen in the history of boxing? WHO?

KO KING VS FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY
The world wants to know

Ali had blinding hand speed with superb ring generalship. However, his jaw was average and he knocked out opponents with an accumulation of punches for the most part.
Tyson, arguably (in his prime), was among the fastest hands in boxing, if not the fastest among all-time heavyweights. He threw 5 punch combinations. He had an iron jaw. Not only did he take devastating punches from boxes who had 1 punch knock out ability (Razor, Bruno, etc) he would drop you with one 1 second after you landed yours. His defense displayed quickness and elusive skills of a middleweight. Besides Ali, who possessed the speed of Tyson in the heavyweight division during the 60's-70's? The rope-a-dope would not work on Tyson because he would throw combinations with each punch having extreme power. Tyson was in great shape, he could pressure you for 12 rounds throwing combos the whole time. Tyson's foot work maximized his punching and defense because he was quick on his feet and he knew how to place them to set up punches and evade punches. Tyson in his prime was the complete package. Mike Tyson began losing because he stopped training and focusing on boxing. Instead, he relied on his neighborhood boys to train him (Douglas fight). Did you see what they used on his eye? Did you see how much muscle Tyson lost? He did not train for that fight. It all snowballed from there.
Ali would kill mike tyson
Always wondered that but I reckon Ali would take it on points.
Iron Mike Tyson via Knock-out on round 1.
Ali was a smart fighter and had stayed on the outside of power punchers before. I would say Ali by U/D.
Ali, hands down! Tyson would become frustrated due to the fact that he would have problems hitting Ali. Tyson would try some "cheating tactic" of some sort and be DQ'd or pull a "no mas", like Duran. Ali by KO in the 9th rnd!
Depends on the size of the ring small ring tyson ......football feild like the foreman fight Ali
