Off topic, but I sometimes wonder if they'd been the same age and met in their prime, whether Muhammad Ali's elaborate strategising would have be enough to overcome Mike Tyson's raw force, the way it was with George Foreman.

Good question…I think the heat and humidity of the Thrilla in Manila really worked against Foreman in a big way. He was gassed completely.
I watched Smokin Joe Frazier wallop Ali really good in two of their fights and his punches were probably in the same league as Tyson’s.
So I think if you turn on the A/C in Manila, Foreman beats Ali. But not sure if Tyson does because once he starts getting frustrated he loses his focus and discipline (Evander Holyfield’s ear bite?) And if Ali could do one thing really well, it’s annoy his opponent into making mistakes. Would have been nice to see, right?
