Tyson would try to just punch him out so early and Ali would just dodge until Tyson got tired then he'd be picked apart.

If he were that great dodger he wouldent be so shaky these days.

He should be selling drinkmixers the "Ali 2000" shaken not stirred

Just look at how easily people could get in Tyson's head. You think Ali wouldn't destroy him mentally in pre-fight talk and with his confidence and swagger in the ring? And then on top of it his reflexes/speed in his prime like no other h.w? Tyson would try to just punch him out so early and Ali would just dodge until Tyson got tired then he'd be picked apart.

tyson was never right mentally everyone knows that but when he had the right team around him he did not have to think thats been my point the whole time tyson down fall was not age or anything to do with his "prime" it was more his state of mind

 

if not for Bobby Stewart "Cus" D'Amato and Kevin Rooney, a protégé of D'Amato, who emphasized elusiveness of movement and Bill Cayton Jimmy Jacobs

 

it was this team that knew tyson since he was 12 years old and him him to become the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, and the only heavyweight to successively unify them and mike was only 21 years old

 

he left his team 18 months before the buster fight and he was never the same
