Thoughts on Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali

This video is an awesome look at dozens of boxers who fought either Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson, narrated by a man named Bruce Blitz, who provides fascinating insight into the strengths and weaknesses of Ali, Tyson, and the guys they fought. If you're a boxing fan, this is the best thing you'll see today:YouTube - Mike Tyson vs Muhammad Ali - the definitive documentary

Blitz concludes that Ali had vastly superior boxing skills to Tyson and fought better opponents, and that Ali would have been more successful in Tyson's era than Tyson would have been in Ali's era.

Interesting theory, and I think I'd agree with it. There's a lot of older fighters I think could've really dominated from the 80s onward.

Re: Thoughts on Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali

No doubt from my perspective that there were far more great boxers during the Ali years than with Iron Mike's era. I just can't see Mike beating on Frasier, Forman, Holmes and maybe even Norton. These were big guys that could fight unlike the street fighting and biting that Mikey does.
