I reckon Tyson would get Ali, kinda like Ali & Frazier.Ali was hella annoying too!
It's like these kids saying Kobe over Jordan. Please.
Okay, I get it when people doubt me when I say World Soccer is fixed, but boxing has been fixed since the turn of the century. It's the worst kept secret in sports.If Roberto Duran walking out of the ring in forfeit during the second Sugar Ray fight didn't make believers out of all of you then nothing will I guess.Can you guys actually watch Ali "knock out" Liston and think that was a legit KO?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T_dHRLn5rM&search=Sonny%20ListonI've seen harder punches in Rocky 2. Ali is throwing a right jab standing on his left foot and it's 1 minute into the first round and Liston is known for being able to take heavy shots. Anyone that thinks that was legit is an idiot, or Trauma. I'm not even trying to hate on Ali. Every great champion in history had the machine behind them. Except maybe Black Jack Johnson. There was no economic reason to make him champion for that long. If Ali really KOed Listoin there than Hulk Hogan really beat up Andre the Giant.Watch the whole thing and how fast Liston gets up when he dcides to and how fine he is after he does and how much he doesn't argue with the ref after the ref stops the fight after he restarts it. Also watch how the ref doesn't even look at Liston when Liston is standing. The whole time he is looking at someone in the corner.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzWynvBLJ4I&search=Sonny%20Liston

They slow motioned it, and it was an extremely fast punch that hit right on the temple,which in 10 out of 10 cases, would knock someone out. It might have been a lucky punch, but it wasn't a fixed punch. Tyson knocking out Bruce Seldon with air, that was a set up punch. Ali knocking out Listen might have been a lucky punch, but not a fixed punch.

Just about every boxing writer of the day called it bullshit and so did George Chuvallo who was sitting behind Ali when the punch happened. They don't call it the phanton punch because it was so fast. They call it the phantom punch because it wasn't there. Liston isn't even hurt afterwards and it was a right jab while planted on the left foot. Walk into any amateur boxing club in your area and ask them how hard a right jab off the left foot can be. I'm not dogging on Ali. I'm dogging pro boxing in general.
