Never did think Tyson was very good, he's just messed in the head. VERY MESSED. Btw, did he win against that guy he fought last week or something? I think he lost.

Definitely would've been a fight well worth watching seeing the Tyson who destroyed Spinks, Holmes and Berbick etc in the mid-eighties versus 1967 Ali....!!
I say Ali. As fast, powerful and aggressive as Tyson was back then,(As well as being a lot better Fighter-Boxer than is generally recognised) his psychological make-up would probably have let him down when facing a master of ring psychology/total wind-up-merchant like Ali....
Ali wouldn't have given himself to fear... And Tyson'd probably sense that...
Besides, Ali's footwork'd most likely be too fast for him, his defense/powers of anticipation too good and his ability to absorb devastating punishment would unravel Tyson, while the devastating handspeed and reach would eventually be the final nails in his coffin so to speak...
(Especially if Ali took him over 15 rounds "peckin and a pokin' pouring water on his smokin..." )
But man Ali would have to be on form as mid-eighties Tyson could've inflicted Ali with a pummeling and a half if not....
Lets not sell Tyson short.... in 85-86 Tyson really was an AWESOME force to contend with... But by the Tokyo dome meeting with Douglas, the guy was a mess.... But I believe the tactics Douglas (Who put on the fight of his life that day) employed would ultimately have been effective for '67 Ali.... And the same psychological meltdown would have occurred..
Actually, you know Ali called Floyd Patterson "The rabbit", George Foreman "The Mummy", George Chuvalo "The washerwoman"
and Sonny liston "The Bear"...?
Amusingly, the name that he gave Tyson in the late eighties (In an interview for the "Champions forever" video, was "Kong"....
