What If Ali & Tyson Were Sparring Partners.

Post by damien590 »

Wouldn't it be nice to think how these sparring sessions would go? Alot
of people are going to be biased towards Ali but I think Mike would have
his days. I would figure Ali would best Mike in 7 out of 10 sessions but
Ali would always have to be on his game. Always. lol I'd hate to see
Ali showing u not feeling too well that day for a workout because I'm
pretty sure Mike would pick up on it SOON as he entered the gym &
would take full advantage. Mike was smarter than what people gave him
credit for.

I think they would be rough, too. Ali would HAVE to be on his A-game for Tyson sparring sessions. Same for Tyson. I wish I could see it.

because it has been talked about to death, this way you can still talk about the 2 without saying official fight.

Ali usually let people wail on him in sparring sessions, so that is kind of what would probably happen.

I doubt it would happen in this fight because if Ali let Tyson do that, Tyson would put Ali in a hospital.

Agreed, you could no way let Tyson have a free reign, even in sparring...too dangerous
