He would have made Tyson look stupid,remember George Foreman in his prime, and the "Rumble in the Jungle". Ali was far too good and far too clever for George,and he'd have done the same to Tyson.
Tyson scared his opponents and he was a big big puncher. But I would have taken Ali every time to beat Tyson if they were both in their prime.
All conjecture really though isn't it? 
My top 5 heavyweights.
Ali
Frazier
Holmes
Marciano
Tyson
I left out Lennox Lewis as he never fought opponents of the same calibre as the others.
Edit I wrote this before I saw your list Petter 55555 |
Yeah maybe my view on Tyson is totally biasd as I grew up watching and loving to see him fight... And nobody can every really say who would beat who like you said Dawsey.. We can only guess...
But I cant believe you left out Joe Louis... He would be in Larry Holmes place for me.. Actually I would put him above Joe Frazier.. I also have always adored Rocky Marciano.. It was some feat finishing unbeaten like he did...
