I gotta go with Ali. I believe his brain would overpower Tyson's brawn. He proved it with Forman.

He had an intimidation factor I've never seen before in boxing. His opponents were often defeated before a punch was thrown.

For good reason too.

I've never seen him ranked among the best by any sportswriter
both Ali and Louis tower above Tyson

Yes, definitely.
There were fights where huge monsters of a man could not even look in Tyson's eyes during the ref's instructions, and their fear was clearly visible.

I don't think that Ali or Louis would have shown any fear
Ali would have rope-a-doped Tyson and Louis would have cut him to pieces

I think you're wrong. While Tyson had a tremendous knockout arsenal, he was a very good boxer. He was excellently trained.

My criteria is....my opinion. I'm not a professional sports analyst.
