I went to see that fight on closed circuit at Oak Mountain Amphitheater near Birmingham. To say that the people who had paid large to see that thing were not amused at the brevity was an understatement.

Why do some guys keep saying this?
Ali was never counted out in his career. He fought guys who hit just as hard as Tyson, namely Frazier, Foreman, Liston and Shavers. He could take a punch and recover as well as any fighter in history.
Did Holyfield even get knocked down, much less out, in two fights with Tyson? Did Lewis get knocked down? Douglas took his best punch and got up. Douglas will never be confused with Ali.
The guys that keep saying this are the same guys who saw Tyson hitting a punching bag and swore he would annihilate Jake Paul, lol. The Tyson lovers can not look at him objectively. They view him as invincible when he was proven to be anything but.

Ali. At his peak he may have had the fastest gloves of any light heavyweight/heavyweight ever. Tyson never had to deal with that kind of speed.
