Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs Mike Tyson

Tyson overrated?
it's like saying Jordan, Mantle and Tiger are overrated.
the instincs, talent and nature of the way Mike fights is brilliant.
his power is a God given attribute. Floyd also has these elements but Tyson is/was much more gifted.
one punch ko's Tyson produced are what every guy that ever laced 'em up wishes he had.
even when considered "washed up" he devastated Golota, Botha, Savarese ect.
overrated? maybe, but the power was real.

COMMON GUYS, MAYWEATHER KNOCKED BIG SHOW!!111!

Mike Tyson in his prime would have been royally whooped by Muhammad Ali in his prime.

Though Ali was a good fighter, I'd still give Tyson a chance, a pressure fighter who knew how to box well, was extremely fast, and could hit very hard would give a prime Ali problems and expliot Ali's flaws.

Mike Tyson was faster than Foreman, and anyone in boxing will tell you that 9/10 times, if you see a punch coming, you can take it. However when hit with a fast, hard punch that you don't see coming most times knocks you out. And to say that Tyson wasn't a very good boxer, watch him in one of his fights where he goes 12 rounds, and also check out Holyfield 2 when he lost his mouth guard, if you watch that one round, you will see that Tyson could've out boxed many boxers. Tyson was basically done as a fighter when he signed with Don King, and though Buster Douglas put on a great fight and deserved to win the title, had Tyson been with Cus and trained properly, it would've been a different outcome. Had Tyson faced a Cassius Clay, Tyson's speed, power, and accuracy would've been too much for a 20 year old Clay, remember that Cooper and Banks both dropped Clay and Tyson was far superior than them. I think Ali in his prime had flaws as well he didn't really know how to block properly, just watch as fighters connect with flush hooks to the face, from Frazier to Chuvalo, and with Tyson's speed and punching accuracy, combined with his power would give Ali a good fight. I'm not saying that Ali is not a great fighter, because he is perhaps the greatest, but every person has flaws, and Ali had many flaws and pressure and defensive fighters exploited them, and often people see the Mike Tyson that lost against Lewis, Douglas, and Holyfield and don't look at him before his years with Don King. I think that if Cus hadn't died, Tyson would've most likely reached his potential and become one of the greatest fighters, or Cus would've stopped him from fighting and he would have been remembered as a great fighter, and we would've been left to wonder what the outcome would have been if Mike had faced fighters past and present.

Ali vs. Tyson
Ali would have to be in his absolute prime to win this fight.
as was stated Clay couldnt have dealt with Mike and the Ali that fought Foreman would be in trouble, although durable the rope a dope wasn't invented for a fighter like Mike Tyson.
to me Ali is the greatest of all time but it goes beyond boxing.
as i said before if YOU were a fighter, you would want to have Tysons skills not Ali's skills. to be like Ali you need a strong mind, will, heart and belief. Tyson made it look easy, Ali had all battles of attrition.

Regardless of if Tyson was/is over-rated, he would still beat the living hell out of someone the size of Floyd Mayweather...

lol

as many have said, the weight difference is grossly in tyson's favor.

if the two were the same weight, and skill wise, i believe that mayweather would get the duke.
