Best fighter ever?
I think so.
I think so.
@chaney3 saidI gotta go with Ali. I believe his brain would overpower Tyson's brawn. He proved it with Forman.
Best fighter ever?
I think so.
@divegeester saidHe had an intimidation factor I've never seen before in boxing. His opponents were often defeated before a punch was thrown.

@chaney3 saidI don't think that Ali or Louis would have shown any fear
Yes, definitely.
There were fights where huge monsters of a man could not even look in Tyson's eyes during the ref's instructions, and their fear was clearly visible.
@lemondrop saidI think you're wrong. While Tyson had a tremendous knockout arsenal, he was a very good boxer. He was excellently trained.
I don't think that Ali or Louis would have shown any fear
Ali would have rope-a-doped Tyson and Louis would have cut him to pieces

He had an intimidation factor I've never seen before in boxing. His opponents were often defeated before a punch was thrown.
For good reason too.
