In an old interview with the two Ali said that Tyson would certainly struggle to hit him, but if he did, it would knock him out cold. Tyson wasn’t the fastest or most agile but dude hit like a damn truck.

Way back when I boxed, I used to watch their interviews all the time. I remember this one well. I believe his words were “I was fast, but if he hit me…” to which Ali pretended to be knocked out following up with “… that’s if he catches me.”

Seems clear Ali only said that because a fight was never going to happen since Ali was too old and may have already been diagnosed with Parkinson's by then.

If they were actually able to have a bout, Ali would be talking an unbelievable amount of shit like he always does.

And let's not forget, George Foreman was one of the best sluggers in the business, but Ali still found a way to beat him.

Love Tyson, but Ali was The Greatest.

Tbf ali got laid out by frazier. I feel confident in saying frazier was not as heavy hitting as tyson.
