      Instead of putting the 2 greats against each other, put them against yourself and see who you'll rather fight in their prime, Ali or Tyson? Ali was like a fox that would keep chipping away at you and Tyson was like a Hyena that'll keep coming at you. Both are respected in their rightful kingdom.

      Although he fought from the peek-a-boo stance, he called it “bulldog” because from the moment the bell rang he was on them like a dog. No time to even fight back and he’s hit you 12 times and you’re dead. They may also call it swarmer but mike was too majestic to be put in one category. Swarmers tend to take a lot of punches and when mike was young he could hardly be touched.

      Ali fought both and said Shavers was the hardest hitter he ever fought. And George said the 3 hardest hitters he ever fought were Ron Lyle, Cleveland Williams and Gerry Cooney. There's a clip of a guy who fought both Frazier and Foreman. I can't remember the guy's name but he was a sparring partner for most of the greats of the 70's. He said Joe Frazier hit harder than George Foreman. He said something like, "He hit harder because they were clean shots. They had snap in them."

    As a close friend and distant relative of Mike Tyson, I have actually sparred with him twice, back in 2018, he is still a very capable fighter even at old age, his punches are incredibly fast and solid and feels like as if bricks are being launched at you from all angles, so I can only imagine how unbeievably monsterous they were in his prime. I don't blame foreman for not wanting any part of Tyson.
