pure heart

[BULLDOUG 199]

Would love to have seen Ali (the scummy musi) go up against a young Tyson, reckon hed be f****d myself. Joe Calzagi was a game fighter IMO.

 

 

Fanny...Ali would have wiped the floor with Tyson....Ali fought all the big hitters....Foreman, Norton, Fraser to name a few....Most of the fighters Tyson fought in his heyday were over the hill and had glass jaws.

 

I think Tyson was a machine and at his best would have destroyed most. Eubank was a great fighter but was never the same after the Watson fight IMO, (ALWAYS HELD SOMTHING BACK AFTER).

 

Nigel Ben was a great fighter to watch and had he lived a cleaner lifestyle i think he would have been a bit much for Eubank, thats all i think ever seperated those two great boxers.

 

As for Ali we cant deny he was a great fighter/ballerina but hate him all the same with his racist polluted mind.

isnt tyson a muslim too?

either way Ali beat's Tyson imo

 

probably the most heart i can think of being shown in a boxing match would be Benn vs McClellan.

Benn went through hell and back to get that win.

" had he lived a cleaner life " ...whats that supposed to mean ....Benn was one of the most dedicated and best trainers in the game,no doubt his army background helped but he was a great athlete who always came into the ring in fantastic condition.

Eubank had his number....simple.

He was a regular smoker and enjoyed the wacky backy, spent a lot of time in smoky clubs etc

Tyson became a muslim after talking to Ali.

Ali would have abslutely annihilated Tyson.

Tyson's mind was and is vulnerable. Ali would have had him psyched out before and during the fight. .Tyson can be seen on chat shows sucking up to Ali in the same way he grovelled to Lewis after being outclassed and outgunned by him.

Remember Foreman was a huge, young heavyweight who had destoyed Joe Frazier before facing Ali.I can remember he hit Frazier so hard he lifted Frazier off his feet! Yet months later, an ageing Ali, staying on the ropes and continually taking the piss out of Foreman's character and punching power, got to Foreman so badly he never fought again until he was middle aged.There's no doubt in my mind that Foreman could have got up from his knockdown, but he was so demolarised he simply wanted out of the fight. (Just like Tyson wanted out of the fight against Holyfield.)

Ali was the greatest because he could take tremendous punches,had a will to win greater than any other fighter and he was the fastest heavyweight ever.

Tyson would have been just a punching bag for Ali. Not even close to Ali in class.

Not during his boxing career he didnt,he was a very healthy living fella and a great trainer.....what he did after his career was over,who cares.....smokey clubs he was a dj for a while i would imagine they go hand in hand.

While i agree with all you say about Ali.....i actually believe Tyson is quite a respectful guy towards other boxers,at least he is now his careers over !....i wouldnt say he sucked up to Ali,or Lewis for that matter he just realised he wasnt in their league when it came to boxing...Tyson is a great student of boxing and has a very good knowledge of all the old time fighters....before the height of his career.....and after his career he has been a decent guy,it was just while he was at the top or near the top he was a complete prick !

Ali would have played with him for as long as he wanted.It would have been a far easier fight than the Foreman fight....Tyson wouldnt have lived with Foreman,Frazier,Louis,possibly Patterson or even a peak Ken Norton.....i wouldnt put him in an all time top ten heavyweights personally.
