Iron Mike's best weapon was psychological. But "the baddest man on the planet" would not have beaten "the Greatest" in his prime. No way.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

A better match of styles would be Joe Frazier & Tyson. And I'd take Frazier in that one.

styles make matchps
Tyson over Ali
but, Foreman over Tyson (ex: what he did to frazier)
tyson and frazier very similar styles but, Mike is better

Foreman is always out the equation...

I dont get the Tyson thing. The guy knocked out a ton of tomato cans. Ali beat some of the best fighters ever in the Heavyweight division. If Tyson thought fighting Holyfield was frustrating than He would have been a complete mess by the endo of round 1 with Ali. Tysons greatest thing was that he had people beat before they hit the ring with him that would not have worked in this case. Tyson would look like a 230 pound meatloaf by the 8th round in this fight.

no chance tyson knocks out Ali in 3 rounds or less, so Ali wins every time.
