old timer123 367 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 tyson was the best.... ali met his match we smoking joe shunt a turned coat an called him an uncle tom lol.... some a them fights ali had looked a bit staged lol lol an remember maffia was ruling boxing at the time .... bet that statements gonner get a few backs up lol lol ... just my thoughts an veiws boys an girls but to be fair i do like alli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Simply for the fact that i grew up around the Aura that was/is Ali...Granted Louis,s record was phenominal and he was voted the best Heavyweight of all time by the Governing bodies...Ali being the greatist was my personal choice mate and not a statistical fact lol..as for Tyson being the greatist i,d seriously beg to differ there ..nowhere near the class as Ali and fought nowhere near the class of opponent that Ali fought..Just my views ..atb stabba Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stabba 10,745 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tyson could have had the world. but he didnt..therefore he,ll never be remembered or reveard the way Ali was/is. I quite liked Tyson..Very explosive..but that was about it imo..Even his own trainer said Tyson was never a force after the 6th round..what does that tell you ..atb stabba Quote Link to post Share on other sites

timmy k 594 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tyson said it himself he had breathing difficulties, but I think smokin joe was better than ali, forman was better than frasier and if ali would of agreed to a rematch I think foreman would of showed he was better than ali, I dont think the travel to africa agreed with forman.
