He is big, dumb, and swings hard.
He would be out of breath in 3 rounds from trying to get a knock out with every punch after all of the shit talking Ali did before and during the fight.
Have any of you ever watched Boxing on ESPN Classic?
George Foreman was a beast. Ali was just standing against the ropes with his face covered letting George wear his self out on his forearms.

Yeah I've seen that fight. It's really a tough call. I think that nobody compares to Tyson in his prime. Foreman was tough but nobody was the fierce animal Tyson was. If he connected with Ali's head, Ali's head would implode. At the same time, there is no doubting Tyson is a big dumb idiot who Ali could play mind games with, taunt, tease, and cause Tyson to lose focus, easily wearing him down after a couple of rounds, in which Ali would pummel Tyson mercilessly.
Ali is a better fighter, so my odds are on him. He's also strong and has a strong jaw.
But few have the power and ability to connect like Tyson. Whether you're hands are up or not, he'll eventually pop you in the face HARD the second they're not. He'll find that hole and all it takes is one of his punches to completely subdue his opponent.
