You are wrong
A person who knows how to wrestle would get him in the mat and take all his strength away.
Tyson was not a great boxer he was a knock out artist any fights he had that went 12 he lost to my knowledge

100%. Ali was the anti-Tyson. He would have not been scared of him and knew to play with him until he punched himself out.
Boxing is about matchups and Ali-Tyson would have been a one sided one.

Couple that with the strength, reach, speed, stamina, the mental side of the fight is over. Ali could basically jab Tyson to an easy win.

I think Mike is great, but he pretty much lost to every top level fighter he ever faced. Myth is greater than the man.

Probably don't want to make 10k a fight like UFC fighters

Yea maybe for a few. But if they were as dominant as OP claims they’d be paid and in title fights.

Wrong:
Tyson went 12 round 3 times in his career and won all 3 by decision.
His opponents were:
Tony Tucker
James "Bonecrusher" Smith
Donovan "Razor" Ruddock

He would have been tapping to an armbar in 30 seconds
