In his prime, absolutely.

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 4 years ago

Yeah, was it his strength or ferocity?

[–] nyctc7 (44107) 4 years ago

Both, plus people tend to forget he was a very smart boxer.

Mike or Ali for sure.

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 4 years ago

Ali was more graceful Tyson more aggressive?

[–] jriley555 (8551) 4 years ago

Tyson or Dempsy in his prime.

Joe Louis & Sonny Listen were plenty scarey, too.

I don't consider Ali as scary. He wasn't a heavy, heavy puncher, more a superlative boxer, who could counter-punch, take the abuse, wear you down, eventually find your button.

[–] JohnDoeNN (90) 4 years ago

Ali was scary because he was so natural, so good. He wasn't aggressive as Tyson or heavy puncher like Tyson, but he was far more talented than any other boxer. That's why I pick Ali.

Just imagine if you go toe to toe with someone who is obviously better than you in Boxing at all categories, + doesn't have Fear + he has big heart.

no argument. ali was in his own class as a boxer and a human being.

After he bite Evander's ear off, yes, I found him to be terrifying.
