The Rumble in the Console Jungle: Ali vs. Tyson


EA Sports asked gamers to vote on who they would rather see gracing the cover of their upcoming game Fight Night Round 4, Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali. The votes are in and as usual, hanging chads, malfunctioning mouse clicks, and browser fraud have yielded a clear frontrunner. Which is to say that there isn't one. The option "both fighters" was chosen by 41 percent of the voting public, leading to the video game developer's release of the cover depicting both iconic boxers preparing to wallop one another. From a cursory examination of the above trailer, the artists and animators took some creative liberties to push back the hand of time—Mike's got less Mr. Chow-inspired ass fat while Ali has single-handedly shaken the Parkinson's out of him—and with only other shitty boxing video games to tide us over, the game's summer release date couldn't come any quicker.
