He was Special but think If they could have fought each other in their primes I think Tyson would have won :y

Tyson wouldn't have got a glove on him. Ali would just have let him punch himself out and then knocked him over.

Easy.

No heavyweight moved like Tyson could move, in his prime no-one laid a glove on him and then could never stand his speed and power. sorry fellas but i disagree with ya :)

I say Ali. He fought beat harder hitters than Tyson (Foreman/Shavers) and unlike many of Tyson's opponents would not be scared. Remember what Buster Douglas and Holyfield did. Also remember Ali was unable to fight in what were his "prime years" also and was boxing at the highest level for longer than Tyson. I reckon a peak Larry Holmes would also have taken Tyson

Now the two contenders seem to be

1. Ali

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb52/crazydad_01/ali.jpg)

2. Tyson

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb52/crazydad_01/tyson.jpg)

I think that ali was a great Boxer, in his time!!!

i do not think that a man like Ali could stand a chance in the ring with Tyson in his Prime, Tyson was a Beast, Brut Force and Strength for 10 was his Attribute.

Ali was like a Gezelle fast and lean, but he was in no way a "Taker" like Tyson.
One direct hit from Tyson, and Ali would start singing I´m a little tea pot.

Hmmm what makes you think the best boxer was a heavyweight?

The best boxers have come in the welterweight to middleweight divisions.

Unquestionably the greatest was the one and only.... Sugar Ray Robinson.
Heck, even Ali considered him the best ever!

Ali is the number 2 though.

Tyson? Would not even get in my top 10. He had power, and bursts of real speed, but no technique and questionable stamina.
Ali would have been took quick and much too smart. He would have taken him in 7 or 8 rounds.

Other greats...

Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard
Roy Jones Jr
Pernell"Sweet Pea" Whitaker.

Oh and Joe Calzaghe is heading towards the greats list...
