    Kind of an odd question for a handicapping forum.
    With that said; Ali... Tyson was unstoppable when the division was weak.

    I guess, technically, Tyson's prime was from 86-90, when he was between 20 and 24 years old. It's hard to believe that without legal troubles and mental problems, that these years would have been Tyson's actual prime. Most athletes peak in their later 20's. If you look at Tyson during his prime as we know it (btw 86-90) vs. Ali in his prime, it's hard to say if Tyson could win. It's just sad that we will never know what Mike Tyson would have been at his best. He was a once in a lifetime fighter and we'll always wonder what might have been.

    Ali's speed ,skill and mental strength would have been to much for Tyson to overcome. Tyson does not make adjustments durning fights and if it's not going his way, he'll fall apart mentally.

    See the Foreman/Ali fight...Foreman much bigger/stronger/better fighter (technically) than Tyson and many people say that Foreman in his prime had the hardest punch of any fighter ever (I know, who really knows)...

    ALI ALI ALI !!!!!!

    Tyson's lack of brain power would prove to be the difference...Ali wins.
