Greatest boxer ever?

[Ox Baker]

Not would be.... WAS

He was suffering from brain damage at the time.

 

[Seano]

Fantasy fight-I think Tyson would KO ali.

DEAN LISTER!!!

The head movement, explosiveness, and footwork?

Lister's Boxing may not be good at all, but he's actually a really nice guy, i got to meet him when i went to San Diego a few months ago. He gets a bunch of hate for no reason at all.

But enough with the MMA stuff.

 

[MMAGuruLV***]

I shit all over intelligent debate.

There ya go!

Now its logical.

 

[Hard as Iron]

Tyson would beat the post-comeback Ali. That Ali would eventually get caught with a solid punch, and while probably not get knocked out, would be slowed even further, enough to lose a decision.

Pre-comeback Ali would beat Tyson with a boring jab-clench-dance decision. Ali would be too smart to trade with Tyson, and instead would opt for minimal engagements and stalling for time. It would be the most disappointing match ever.

In a "real fight" though, not MMA, I mean prison fight, Tyson beats anyone. :icon_twis

Ali was too willing to "let" a fighter punch themselves out. That strategy against Tyson = fail.

I think George Foreman hit harder than Tyson, and that was the Ali that lost a lot of his speed.

Thats a different sort of power IMHO. Snappy punches versus clubbing.

IMO, Tysons precison power punching is too much.

Tyson was better than Shavers. Quicker than Foreman.

Ali was the best boxer who was easy to hit.

I've always thought Tyson was a bad fight for Ali.

 

[5acrossYOeye]

pre or post ali version beats tyson for two reasons

1. jab. tyson never saw a jab like ali's
2. and he wasn't afraid of tyson.

 

[WarriorWill]

what about Rocky Marciano?

 

[Matt505]

Rocky Marciano was the Fedor of Boxing.

 

[webeballin]

there's no need to insult marciano like that

 

[Confucamus]

There are alot of a good boxers. But the best is Rocky Marciano hands down.

End Thread.....

Maybe, but Tyson was a lot faster than George.

Roy Jones Jr. Insane combination of speed, power, and accuracy. Multiple belt holder and should've been an Olympic Gold Medalist as well if it wasn't for the crooked judges that sold him out.

 

[TrueMMAFAN78]

well if JOE LOUIS, ALI AND SUGAR RAY LEONARD said that SUGAR RAY ROBINSON was the greatest p4p fighter of all time...i tend to agree with them since they know a little about boxing.....
