Tyson was a monster, no doubt. Foreman was just as much a monster, and Liston may have been worse.

The thing about the young Ali is that he was almost impossible to hit, and since we found out later in his career that he had a cast-iron jaw - one of the best boxing has EVER seen - hitting him doesn't guarantee he's going to be hurt. Also Tyson was never a particularly strong-willed fighter, if he doesn't put you down fast his nerve might not hold up for the entire fight and Ali wouldn't be scared of him. You can't count out a Tyson quality fighter against ANYBODY, but if they fought 100 times I think Ali wins about 90.
