Tyson at 20 vs Ali at 20

[kara]

I got 20 year old Tyson over every 20 year old boxer ever.

obviously, nobody beats everyone but I don’t know of anyone I’d favor over young Iron Mike.

I could see that, respect.

[QueensburyRules]

I don't get it.

- - We get that a lot out of you.

Probably because we get a lot of gibberish and nonsensical rantings from you.

- - If Ali beat Berbick, he'd be baying at the Moon all night, so yeah, not easy for even a thug like Berbick to hit a clearly sick weak as a 6 yr old girl Ali that Tubby Lar who was still skinny then beat up for the Tinkerbell lineal title.

Lol. Zow-Whee!

[The D3vil]

Tyson by decapitation.

Ali arguably should've lost to Doug Jones at 21 in '63, which is the fight that made Clay/Ali.

Tyson at 20 was as good as he was ever going to be physically & mentally

Ali was still developing.

[Hooded Terror]

- - What Mike thinks is irrelevant since he proven bat crazy.

Clay at 20 was getting knocked down by Sonny Banks and fighting Ancient Archie in his last fight that Arch threw after betting on Clay.

Tyson at 20 was blasting the guy who last beat up Ali, Berbick, near blasting the lurching Berbick out of the ring for his WBC title.

C'mon, I mean really. How about you vs a 6 year old. How about a Lion vs a Rabbit? A Tiger vs a Chihuahua?

While you make very good points, I like to think that Clay would be aware of the whirlwind destroyer he'd be facing in Tyson and would be very sharp and totally commited to carefully applying his game. I don't believe he'd be anywhere near as overconfident or lax as he was with Banks, a serviceable, experienced fighter in his own right.

While I picked Clay by UD one has to admit that they are opposites: Clay matured into one of the best ever; Tyson was at his very best, very young.

'89 Tyson (Spinks) vs. '67 Ali (Williams) is the fight we want to see.

- - Spinks would've layed the Jinx on shot Cleve much earlier.

In '67 Ali beat Terrell before ducking Wilt in favor of Zora. Not exactly up to 20 yr old Tyson stuff.

Working backwards, age 20 Mike KOed Pinklon Thomas, shut out Bonecrusher Smith, KOed Berbick, KOed Ratliff, Ribalta, Frazier, Boyd, Hosea, and Gross, and didn't drop a single round in any of those fights.

You boys need a better match maker if you want Ali to win anything...

Agreed. Could be like early rounds of a Frazier fight. But Ali does an even better job weathering the early round storm on his way to a UD or a late stoppage.

- - 20 yr old Ali gonna be weathering the storm flat on his back post haste counting raindrops instead of stars...you could bet the farm on it...
