The Foreman thread inspired this.

What dream bout would you like to see?

Dempsey vs. Marciano (similar weight and absolute brawlers)

Louis vs. Tyson (finally an end to the Tyson hype)

Foreman vs. Liston (again, similar size and sluggers)

What bout would be your dream matchup?

Fury vs Ali.

The two best-moving heavyweights of all time. How would Ali get around the reach and mental toughness/craziness of Fury.

How would Fury get around the ring intelligence and chin of Ali.

Would have loved to see Prime Tyson against Prime Holyfield. I think after prison Mike was a different boxer.

Honestly Tyson vs Foreman would have been good as well.

Marciano against a young Cassius Clay in the early 60’s.

Could’ve gone either way.

Prime Ali vs Prime Joe Louis (leaning prime Louis)

Prime Tyson against Prime Foreman (leaning prime Foreman)

Prime Dempsey vs Prime Marciano (could go either way)

What hype???… no real boxing fan(people who watch more than the big fights) considers Tyson a great heavyweight…declared “no mas” against Golota(a tomato can)… lost against every premier fighter he ever faced.. he more of a culture icon than a great boxer

Prime Mike Tyson vs Prime David Tua. Somebody’s head would come off their body.

Prime Larry Holmes against Tyson so the fanboys would see what a much bigger man with a devastating jab would do to Iron Mike.

As usual most of the anti-Tyson comments are from people who didn’t see him fight until the mid to late 90s and have no clue what they’re talking about. But since he’s in so many matchups I’ll go Lennox vs Ali. Probably the two smartest, technically sound big heavyweights. Lennox’s jaw was always in question but he could also do a lot of damage really fast and Ali sometimes took too many hits. I think their weaknesses and styles make for an on the edge, high tension super fight.
