Muhammad Ali said there was only a heavyweight that could beat him if he was in his heyday

Muhammad Ali has revealed the one fighter that he believes that he would have defeated him in his impressive best.

After Ali recorded a gold medal at the summer games in Rome in Rome, Ali gave his professional box debut in October of the same year. In his 20th professional competition, Ali Sonny Liston defeated the sixth round to realize his dream of becoming the world champion in heavyweight.

Ali made a number of successful title defendants before he was forced to clear his crown in 1967 when he refused to take part in the Vietnam War. He returned to sport a few years later and finally brought back the world awards in this historic showdown with George Foreman in 1974, which is best known as “The Rumble in the Jungle”.

In a resumed YouTube clip, ‘Greatest’ gave an honest assessment of his chances against none as Mike Tyson, when he supports ‘Iron’ Mike to defeat him, even if he was with his distinctive best.

“I’m afraid of him. He is a real champion. (Tyson would have won), I was a dancing master. You are so powerful and so fast when you hit me (then I hit the canvas).”

Tyson’s professional career began in 1985 and it only took a year for him to become a world champion in heavyweight when he did faster Trevor Berbick to conquer the WBC in heavyweight WBC and become the latest heavy weight champion ever, a record that is still unbroken to this day.

After Tyson had not fought as a professional for two decades, he sensationally returned to sport last November when Jake Paul defeated him in a controversial 8-round competition in the AT & T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
