gnasher16 31,602 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I cant believe some of you lads are mentioning Mike Tyson in the same sentance as Muhammed Ali ................Its like comparing Ricky Hatton to Sugar Ray Leonard !! All the best to the great man,regardless of the guts,talent and desire he showed in the ring........living with that illness the last 30 years takes some doing.....must admit i dont really like watching him being paraded around anymore its painful to watch. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

just jack 998 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. that would be the pigeons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
