who could stop tyson back in the day?

[Verstyle]

Well, Ali has a 12inch reach advantage, so he could throw three and four punch combinations, if he judges the distance correctly. Also, if Tyson got in, Ali would easily tie him up. No one pushed Ali around in the clinches.

when tyson gets in he throws combos and gets outta there as i stated.he wouldnt be in there long enough for ali to continue to tie him up.and we see how fast tyson threw his combos in his prime. and for the 12inch reach? ok. just another step tyson has to go back to get outta range and we know ali doesnt fight going foward. damn im good

prime jo louis could have
prime marciano could have
prime ali could have
big george could have

might as well add prime butterbean
prime chris byrd

prime jo louis could have

Possibly, but I would still favor Tyson.

prime marciano could have

Definetely not. Too small and slow.

prime ali could have

He most likely would.

big george could have

He would have murdered Tyson!

He's not gonna get in and out so fast that he wouldn't catch an Ali right hand. Ali punches so fast, sometimes it's hard to see the punches. Ali knew what he was doing. And when Tyson moved in, Ali would move back and avoid the punches. Remember Ali knew how to get out of range, too.

I don't know. Louis did not demonstrate the ability to handle a swarming fighter, and I'm not just talking about Marciano. Even in his prime he struggled with guys like Tony Galento, Arturo Godoy, and Tommy Farr. Galento almost beat Louis in their fight. He stunned and staggered him often, and even floored the bomber. The only things that saved Louis was the fact that Galento was slow, so he was an easy target, he didn't move his head like Tyson did, so Louis was able to land jabs at will, and he wasn't a great finisher. If Tyson had Louis in the same trouble Galento had him in, then I'm pretty sure Mike would finish the job. Louis never had a great chin, and that is showed in a lot of his fights. I shudder to think what a fast, skilled, powerful, and durable technician like Tyson would do to him.

he didnt fight like tyson.ahahaha how many times do u see tyson bob and weave like that besides the tyson vs. green fight. and only throw a 1 deminsional shot which is the left hook. plus frazier purposly went into the fire which is ali's punchs. u dont see a prime tyson doing that,reason why he had no marks on his face during his prime cause he wasnt really in ne danger

damn im good tonight
