The "Mike Tyson" of Ali's age was George Foreman and we all know what happened in that bout.
Foreman didn't have one tenth of the skill-set and aggression that Tyson had. Not even close.

And no where NEAR the conditioning (before King)

Sonny Liston was just as feared as Tyson & cleared out the Heavyweight division before absolutely destoying the champ (Patterson) twice in the 1st Rd.



Liston had a punishing left jab & wasn't just some brawler. Liston was a very skilled/ powerful fighter.

I like Tyson, but prime Foreman would beat prime Tyson 8 times out of 10.

Foreman was big, strong and could hammer people. He could also take a ton of punishment, so Tyson wouldn't have an easy KO even if he got inside and was landing a lot.
