Do you think either could've beat Floyd Mayweather?

Isn't mayweather known as a pillow puncher? I'd probably take both of them over him in their prime considering they were both much bigger.


Idk shite about boxing though tbh. It's the 21st century.

They outweigh him by 50-60 pounds easily, this is a horribly stupid question.

Interestingly enough, we probably missed Ali at the best he could've been when he lost that 4 years at his peak dealing with the draft evasion charges.

For a boxer to come back from a 4 year layoff is incredible.

Right. Because none of his 45 opponents outweighed him.

Wait... What?

I would love to see Ali try to do that rope-a-dope against Tyson...

Severe injuries.

t's not like he'd be fighting either of them at a 60 pound difference. Pre-fight negotiations dictate what each fighter is willing to fight the other at. It would be much closer in weight.

And because Ali or Tyson will be mass and weight as part of the weight negotiations, I'd put that in Mayweather's favor too.

Well then you are talking about a different question. Ali 50 lbs lighter isn't Ali.

This is not a close call in any way, shape or form.

Assuming you could get either Ali or Tyson down to an acceptable weight, say within 30Lbs of Mayweather's heaviest fighting weight of about 150, which is pretty unlikely considering Ali is 6'3 and Tyson never fought at less than 215, Mayweather wouldn't have the power to hurt either of them.
