Imagine the Boxer that Tyson would have been in the same era as Ali when he wouldn't have had King and all the rest of the extraneous stuff which eventually led to his downfall.
Imagine the Boxer Ali would have been today without all religious and political stuff which has created a kind of mystical aura around him as if he didn't lose fights he should of won because of his blind arrogance.
I do think that both Boxers fully fit and absolutely concentrated on their sport in a ring against each other would be the greatest fight of all time. Ali with his superior technique and intelligence would give Tyson problems like no other boxer.
But the raw natural power and speed of a Tyson in full destruction mode without a thought or care about anything but destroying what is in front of him would destroy Ali.
Ali though for the rematch I'm sure would have come up with sme strategy that would have turned the fight in his favor.
