Philosopher Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydebankblitz Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ali couldn't have dodged everything Tyson through. Ali actually got hit a decent amount, even when he started doing the Rope A Dope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycooner Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
