This morning I watched a movie with Mohammad Ali as himself and I started wondering how he would have faired against Mike Tyson. If all the heavyweight champs in history were to fight one another in their prime who do you think would be tops?  I think Tyson in his prime would have whipped Ali in just a few rounds.

Tyson looked insurmountable for quite awhile, but he was also fighting chumps for the most part.

Buddy Baer did knock Louis right out of the ring during their first fight and Louis probably should have been DQ'd later in that fight... Baer would have won...the 2nd fight however was all Louis...

I sae the fight between Tyson and Spinx.  Tysons punches sounded like a rubber mallet hitting a side of beef.  It was gruesome.   The upper.cut he landed into spinx stomach quite literally made the guys eyes bug out of his head.   I will never forgrt that

As is, in their prime. Tyson takes everyone hand down.

But could you imagine a Rocky Marciano with modern nutrition, conditioning, training techniques etc

Joe Louis.

Check out the one or two of his fights on youtube. Guys during that era were not fighting... they were fucking killing each other.

FPNI. Marciano was the GOAT. Retired undefeated, was only knocked down once in his career by Ezzard Charles IIRC. Pure brawler with fists of iron and a steel jaw.

90 pounds ?

Louis was heavier and had a longer reach.

Young Tyson may have been the hardest hitting man to ever walk the planet, certainly the greatest uppercut I've ever witnessed. I truly believe that pre-King era he was the best ever, he could move great, excellent accuracy, his jaw was never really tested though.

No idea. But I always love watching Wladimir Klitschko fight
. His brother was fun to watch too but totally different fighting style.

No one who’s ever walked the earth could go toe to toe with Tyson early in his career, talking like 1985-1990. Knocked out Michael Spinks in 90 seconds, Carl Williams in less than a minute, Marvis Frazier in 20 seconds, and was the only person to ever knock out Larry Holmes. Not sure we’ll ever see another fighter as dominant as he was in that 5 year period.

Tyson was an animal.  So fast.  So much rage.

I'd like to see a methed and/or coked up Prime Mike Tyson fight.

Mike Tyson in his prime would kick the holy hell out of the rest while in their prime if it were possible to put such an event together.

My opinion.

Tyson never really faced any boxers of the caliber that Ali, Louis and Marciano fought against

The three above were all smarter than Tyson and would have outboxed him.
