Definitely Tyson, personally I don't think Ali could have lived with him in Tyson's prime, mid 80's

i like you,

tysons prime was quite short but at that era he was unbeatable by anyone past or present,
he was the most highly honed machine for one objective,

I think you're on drugs

Ali was supreme in all areas. What you said about Tyson was said about Foreman and look what Ali did to him.

Frazier would have beaten Tyson in my opinion.

No dispute that Tyson had a punch wasn't it once rated at quarter of a ton travelling at 45 mph hitting you in the mush. But for sheer bravery and relentless coming out of the corner every round Durrant all the way

to truly appreciate tyson you have to study the fights and i mean study, i have, for hrs freeze frame slo mo etc he was magic remember were talkin heavyweight and in real time you could not see at least half of his punches,,, he was that quick thundering body blows and relentless upppercuts and his own evasive movements were fantastic and his finish was relentless he did not stop till they were finished and until he started to go of the rails he always went over to the defeated to make sure they were ok,

mustard a real one off

Hagler has always been one of my favourites too. His three round demolition of Tommy Hearns was plain brutal.

Haha we'll have to agree to disagree Ron, but if you look at Tyson's early fights, before Cuss D'Amato died he was unstoppable, real speed with power, Lennox Lewis was lucky to fight him when he did, he wouldn't have stood a chance in the 80's

iron Mike

use to watch all his fights in the 80s !! he was the man !! deffo , Ali might of tired him out but not knocked him down !! but if tyson caught Ali doubt he would of got up

shame ole bruno never had the killer mind set ! big bloke had all the tools , but seemed to robotfied stiff

or nice or

remember watchinghis fights also , use to get carried away & pretend shaddow boxing when i was watching his fights & bruno was tieing up his opponects with his arms & not even attempting to land a good punch !soo anoying , as i wanted to hit his opponent for him
