I don't think you're right about it. Ali never used peek-a-boo style. Ali was best known for his fighting style which he described as "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". His movement is often described as a dance; some go so far as to call it beautiful.
Tyson is insane, his power, OMG http://youtube.com/watch?v=ce9gkzVk-Ek Ali is god, you can't even see his punch, it is just that fast http://youtube.com/watch?v=9p8iJXUWLKw However, i think Tyson will win. his power is just so much bigger than Ali. is there any video of a real fight of bruce lee? I saw him in movie and exhibition stuff,,but never a real fight Elite MMA fighter like George St. Pierre or matt hughes will own all of them easily imo
Yep; you're right. Ali didn't use the peek-a-boo style. Tyson did. But still, I'd stick my neck out and say that Tyson would win the dream encounter. Just check out this fact from Wikipedia. "At age 19, Tyson was around 221 lbs[citation needed] (100 kg) with approximately 5.5% body fat, and was stocky for his height of 5 ft 11.5 in (182 cm). Because of Tyson's strength, many fighters were said to be too intimidated to hit him and this was backed up by his above-average hand speed, accuracy, coordination, power, and timing. Tyson was also noted for his defensive abilities."
What are you guys crazy. I worked out and sparred with Mike Tyson at 20 in his Prime and Ali could not have stood against Mike, both in their prime. Ali was great but Mike was the greastest ever. Mike is the strongest ever. He could bench 450 for reps and squat 650 for 5minutes. He was crazy strong.
Ali had more hand speed and foot speed, however Tyson had Power that has never been seen before or since. Mike spinks had alot of skill also but could not take the brain numbing hit from tyson.
Tyson would win hands down.. Ali wasnt even a good boxer in my eyes.. all he did was get punched stupid until he tired his apponents out.. then punched them when they too tird to defend.. That aint boxing ! thats being a punch bag. Tyson on the other hand would punch Ali stupid for 12 rounds like a mad bull.. although i believe it would only take 8 rounds or so for Tyson to over power ali with sheer power and punch rate. Tyson to Win.. Ali was a fake ass.. Mike was the real deal
It might last eight rounds, one round or go to the judges. If Mike landed "the punch" Ali would drop. Watch everyones head whip after "the punch" on the you tube videos.
Ali speed would only aid in running away. If he stopped running he would be lying on his back counting the light in the gym.
I am training a lightweight fighter now (http://youtube.com/watch?v=QifSpuOWtsw )and we watch a lot of film on both Ali and Tyson. We marvel at the angle of Ali’s punches and his lightning fast punches. Tyson is just raw power that would bring you to your knees.
Depends...Mike fought at over 17 stones whereas Ali fought at just over 15 stones. Working with these figures, I would guess Mike would edge it, just. However, if the weights were closer, Ali would win without doubt. Ali was the better boxer. Mike was a street fighter - although I wouldn't tell him that.
Man, I visit youtube and watch again some Tyson's previous fight in 1986. I think nobody can handle him with that strength. But please remember, he can't that easily get Ali to KO since Ali can handle "old time Tyson" like Sonny Liston and George Foreman. Damn, I really need to see Ali vs tyson!!!
Tyson was better at closing the distance than foreman and listen. Holmes stated that Tyson would have beat ALi
