I'm not a huge boxing guy. I watched it with my dad when I was a kid, but I don't have a deeply informed take.
I'd just take the safe Ali pick.
That's my pick too. However I don't mind letting Tyson out of the top 10 GOATs.

I think Tyson has to be ranked pretty high. Nobody else has ever terrified other boxers as much as Tyson.
reply
I think Ali has terrified other boxers more with his speed. Tyson played in the era when a lot of his opponents were slower while had played against many of the fastest of all times. This is the basis of my analysis. Tyson is great but nowhere close to Ali.
reply
I don't think the other elite boxers were scared to get into the ring with Ali. In fact, he backed out of an exhibition match against Wilt Chamberlain after meeting Wilt in person.
reply
He backed out for he didn't wanna end his basketball career. Ali had a heart full of love. That's why he's respected more than any other boxers.
reply
Hardly. That would have occurred to him before meeting Wilt, in all of his 7ft 300lb chiselled glory.
