Tyson and Ali together, Rare!

[The Noose]

I think that the "Just Imagine" painting would be better suited with Ali throwing to Mike's head, and Mike throwing to Ali's midsection but, oh well, still cool. I have recently undertaken a series of sketches depicting the two in a 12 round fight. Each drawing is of key highlights throughout the rounds.

Are u gonna show us? Id love to see them.

It's quite clear on the painting actually. If you said left ear, you would have ''owned'' me so bad, and buttfly would have given you a ''.''

Actually, he was right. It is the right ear.

I thought it was simple.

I said right ear referring to the ear on the right side of Ali’s head. There is no right ear in view. However Ali’s left ear which is usually found on the left side of somebody’s head is still visible which suggests that he still has that ear.

I am sorry if anybody found it confusing.

I only said it in the first place to add a bit of humour to the thread, I didn’t mean for it to turn into a mini debate on navigation.

Do you mean to say I can't own you for not understanding the pre-school concept of right and left? Damn. You could have let it continue for a day or two so I could use the thingy at least once.

I'm glad that this is what it has become.

@SABBATH: That's hilarious! Especially if it would have been post-prison Tyson vs. post-exile Ali.

I will eventually show the drawings; if I get ambitious enough to finish them. Right now they are merely sketches that I've pieced together during down time at work.

The first one depicts early rounds, with Tyson ducking some jabs. The second concept, still early, shows Tyson getting a flash knockdown off of an uppercut. The third concept, mid-to-late rounds, shows Ali scoring solid right hands. The fourth concept shows both fighters in an exhausted, but tense clinch; and the final one shows them coming out for the 12th round, scarred, and swollen.

This is some rare footage from an old talk show from 1989, featuring Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard, and Mike Tyson in the same room together. It was a heartwarming and touching segment. In this footage, you see Tyson humbled and showing class, which he would lack greatly later on; as well as Ali claiming Mike to be the greatest. I suppose that was one prediction that went awry.

I thought it would be an interesting addition to the plethora of wonderful footage on this site; if it's not already on here somewhere.

Part 2:

- -Arsenio one of many filling the Johnny Carson retirement, but he scored big time with this.

- -Best part is when Ali says Tyson the greatest and Tyson protests... Only in boxing!
