Ali easily. EASILY.
Ali had 12-13 inches of reach on Tyson. With his footwork, Iron Mike never would have touched him. Ali jabs his face into hamburger for a few rounds then drops him like a bad habit. Someone said he was like Frazier x100. Bull, He was like Foreman, but smaller. Foreman was 6'3" with 78" reach and Tyson was 5'10" with a 71" reach. Good enough for opening tomato cans like Marvis Frazier and Tyrell Biggs. But Ali, poppycock.
Did Tyson ever beat beat a talented boxer? Yeah, it wasn't his fault the HW division sucked, but every quality boxer he faced beat him. And don't say Larry Holmes. Larry was 106 years old when they fought.
