Did Mike Tyson and Muhammad ali Fight?

No; had they encountered one another in real life Tyson would have destroyed him. This is operating under the assumption that is, that Tyson had encountered the 40 something Ali as opposed to the prime one. Time machines don't exist but if they did, had Tyson fought Ali he'd have been smacked around. Frazier managed to beat Ali for the following reasons;

1) Ali was lazy with his training and had little respect for Frazier.

2) Frazier was riding an emotional and career high, he was really on a roll.

3) Believe it or not, Muhamad Ali's main Achilles heel were left hooks, which was Frazier's specialty. Even in his prime, when he was lightning fast, as Cassius Clay (before he changed his name), what few times he did get hit was by left hooks. Even Patterson managed to hit Ali with several left hooks in fact. For all intents and purposes between having that weakness, and that being Frazier's talent, Ali was almost made to order for Frazier. As Ali leans back, because he uses an orthodox stance, the angle of back leaning allows for an easy connect with a left hook. Frazier himself talks about it in the book "Box Like The Pros." It was a major Achilles heel that Ali never polished.

Now, Tyson apologists insist that he could have beaten Ali, because he also had a tremendous left hook, and, some Boxing people consider Tyson vastly more dangerous than Frazier with how he timed it. In the end though its hard to say; when both Tyson and Ali finally die, God himself will have to arrange that fight in heaven if they both go there.
