Mike Tyson (crap be upon him), in his prime, would KO Cassius Clay (pork be upon him), in his prime, in less than 4 rounds.

With all due respect, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Tyson never would have gotten CLOSE to Ali, and Ali would have won ANY fight against him on points EVERY time.

Frazier was more of a warrior than Tyson and Frazier only won one of three fights against Ali, and that was after Ali was idle for three years. Can you imagine Frazier quitting like Tyson did against a light heavyweight like Holyfield? I can’t.

Maybe.

Ali is the type of fighter that gave Tyson fits. He was faster, in better shape and much smarter than Tyson. He would not have stood toe to toe in a slug fest.

That would have been a fight for the ages.

Tyson would never have been able to catch Ali. Ali was to quick. He would have rope-a-doped him to death.

BUT, if Tyson could hit him, it would have been lights out.

"Mike Tyson (crap be upon him), in his prime, would KO Cassius Clay (pork be upon him), in his prime, in less than 4 rounds."

You must have missed the Tyson / Buster Douglas fight. Douglas beat Tyson's ass by out-boxing him (and by not crapping his shorts before the first round). Ali, whatever else you might say about him, could flat-out box. And he could take a punch - go ask George Foreman about that.

Tyson would have been toast.
