Mike Tyson vs Muhammad Ali was recently simulated by World Boxing Super Series, and Mike Tyson came out victorious.

But contrary to what the simulation had to say, Muhammad Ali’s oldest son thinks otherwise. The eldest of Ali’s nine kids, Muhammad Ali Jr. was very adamant that his father would come out the winner if such a fight was ever to take place.

Though this fight isn’t a possibility because Tyson has retired and Ali is no more, speaking about the match up Ali Jr. said, “My father would have kicked his butt. Everybody says Mike Tyson would have kicked my father’s butt. I said no. Tyson can’t go the distance. He couldn’t go fifteen rounds. He’s not a boxer. He’s a street fighter. A knockout artist. He can never hold up to my father!”

If not Mike Tyson, Who could possibly beat Ali?

Ali Jr. and Mike Tyson both agree that Muhammad Ali would definitely have the upper hand. But his son says there’s one man that will for sure give his dad some serious trouble. As reported by the Sun, He said, “That would have been a good fight. Then they were both young, they were both agile and both took it to the limit with their training. They both were the best at what they did. He’s like the Muhammad Ali of karate. I think it would have been a good fight between my father and Lee.”

He was talking about the one and only Bruce Lee. And that is one match up that would most definitely prove to be a spectacle.

Ali’s son Is full of praises for his father. When asked what went through his mind when he saw his father on the television he said, “It seems like a dream. But I just look at him as daddy. He’s my daddy. I love him and he’s my father. Don’t see him as the ‘Greatest of All Time’. I don’t see him as a great humanitarian. I see him as daddy. We had a brother-to-brother relationship. His personality is unlike anybody else’s. I’ve never met anybody who had a better personality.”
