I have a neighbor Burch who is 70 and a good friend and he knows boxing and insists Casuius Clay is the best ever. I say Tyson would have knocked him out. We will never know.
Tyson just demolishing dudes.

Tyson could be intimidating and scary, but he was mentally weak and a frontrunner. Similar to Sonny Liston.
Ali would have had him beat halfway through the first press conference.
Todays version of Mike Tyson would probably admit that to you right now.
Drama and Knockouts sell however, which is why Tyson's stuff sells for far more then many others I rate ahead of him.
