There are quite a few great old time boxers but I think most of them would have struggled against Tyson when he was at his best ;)

Marvin Hagler was someone i loved to watch. The fight he had with Tommy Hearns in the 80s is an all time classic. War from the 1st bell and iirc it only lasted 3 rounds.

But how I've heard nowadays Tyson builds his new career as an actor (The Hangover)...if I had to work as a stunt struggling with him in an action scene i wouldn't do it nicely... ;D ;D ;D

Tyson is a Boxing Hero of mine, he moved and hit with so much venom.
It has been spoken about for years by the Boxing Experts, Who would be the best, if you put each of the Greatests at their prime in a fight.
I would have to say Ali without a doubt. Mike Tyson against Ali would get frustrated. He was an all out attack fighter, always coming forward. Joe Fraser had a similar sort of style. But Ali would toy with them, frustrate them with his speed and has mouth before plus in the ring, waiting for that few split seconds that his opponent is wondering how to change his tactics... Then game over, your looking up at The Greatests dancing over you.....

For the life of me I can't remember the boxers name, so will go and look it up later. But when Ali changed his name from Cassius Clay there was a boxer that would not call him Mohammed Ali, which Ali took as a great dis respect. Ali punished him for a full 15 rounds, could have knocked him out in any round he chose, but instead decided to batter him...

The hardest hitting opponent Ali claims to have ever come up against is Ernie Shavers. Omegagod Speaks to him as he now lives in Liverpool, sure he still works the doors.. Sure he will be along soon to put me right.  :y

Was it Oscar Bonavena?

I agree with you that Ali was the best. In his own words "It is befitting i go out of boxing the way i came in by beating a big bad ugly monster that nobody could beat" - Referring to Sonny Liston / George Foreman
