Ali had the mouth and idiots bought into him. If he fought in the 90's against lewis, holyfield, bowe, and the Klitschko brothers he would struggle and struggle.
Marciano being much lighter would have beat his body badly too...
Tyson in his early days would have hurt him
What do I know....30+ years and 3000 fights later

Sounds legit to me.
A great boxer will take out a great puncher at an alarming rate. Ali stood in there with some of the greatest punchers the HW division has ever seen and was never knocked out. Could you imagine how easily a young Ali would have talked his way into a nitwit like Tyson's head. Tyson would have already lost before he ever stepped into the ring. This one wouldn't even be close.
Truth, again. Dodging the Draft, and Dodging a Tyson 1st Round KO punch are two totally different things. Dodge the Draft like a coward, and take the punch like a man, and get knocked out.
He was bad assed
I agree with you. His speed and power was amazing. About 3 minutes into that vid, they replay one of his KO's in slow motion and you can barely see his left come in. He KO'd guys by not only landing shots on the jaw and temple area, but top of the head and even body.
He would've def gotten better, but Tyson already had some of the best head movement and pure speed ever. People not thinking Mike Tyson knew how to box, and was a total power puncher were making a critical first mistake...
