Deffinitely, my most favourite boxer ever, in his prime, he would of beaten anyone.

in his prime he was brilliant but he has became a tw@t and dont think he gets the praise he should have because of it

dont think he would have beaten some of the all time greats in the heavyweight world even in his prime, unfortunately for mike tyson he was born to late to meet any really good heavyweights and even a ageing holyfield took him to school twice, i am a fan of tyson but all in all i think some of the lower weight divisions had the hardest boxer ever in them, marvelous marvin hagler springs to mind! :)

"ROCKY":bow::bow::bow:could have taken him.

Now i dont reckon hes the hardest boxing has seen, but Lennox has thrown some blinders in his time

HELL NO

 

You want the the hardest of teh Hard, Muhamman Ali, if you dont think he is hard, go watch teh rumble in the jungle, or the thrilla in manila.

 

And if Ali doesnt get your vote the Sugar Ray Robinson should

 

But Tyson, **** off your way of

I wasn`t going to get involved in this , but Ali beat some of the best and hardest hitters ever . When I look at some of the huge , lumbering , immobile heavyweights around lately , it looks like a different sport . I remember Tyson when he was coming up , and yes , he was fearsome and scared most opponents into defeat even before the fights started . Credit to him , under Cus Demato , he was well-managed and taught from a young age to be a proper student of boxing history . He was hard .

But I think he might have been matched for " hardness " by lots of Ali`s opponents . As for Ali himself : before the B*astards took away his license for refusing to join the Army , he would simply have given Tyson a boxing lesson and a very sound hiding : he was far too fast for any heavyweight to deal with . His hand-speed , super-fast reactions and pure lightness on his feet made him very difficult to catch . And he had a boxing intelligence that cannot be taught . All this , with his use of movement around the ring and the ability to vary his style at will , in a single round if he felt like it , made him the best I`ve ever seen . And he was fearless , no matter the reputation of his opponent . Sonny liston was a man with a fearsome reputation : He intimidated the Heavyweight Champion of the World , Floyd Patterson , so much ,he knocked him out in the first round to take the title . He did the same thing in the return match . Ali , at the age of 22 , showed Liston up so badly , he quit on his stool before the 7th round . In the return bout , Ali won by a 1st round KO .

After a politically-motivated three-and-a-half year ban , and the inevitable loss of that freakish speed , he came back and won the Title twice more , adapting his tactics for different opponents , including the savagely hard-hitting George Foreman who had taken the tough Joe Frazier`s ( similar to Tyson , but busier ) title by knocking him down six times in two rounds , literally lifting him off his feet with his final uppercut .

When the Ali-Foreman fight was arranged , many fans , journalists and even his own camp actually feared for Ali`s life : Foreman was a monster with massively damaging punching power . The only confident person in the Ali camp was Ali himself . In the centre of the ring with the ref , before the fight , he said " George , you`ve always admired me , now you`re meeting your master " Having gone toe-to-toe with Big George in the first round , he let Foreman punch himself out , all the time talking in his ear :" Is that all you got , George ? " and similarly demotivating stuff . lol

 

Ali knocked foreman out in the 8th round , to be brief . :smash:

 

Sadly , he went on too long , but truly The Greatest :bow::bow::bow:

Have to agree, look at the master class he gives once he feels the chance is there.

ali is/was the best hands down but not just because he was hard, he was also very clever rumble in the jungle shows this so well and he could take a punch:mac1:
