My two Favourite heavyweights but I dont think it would be that close to be honest, Ali would pick him apart and stop him in the later rounds, Ali fought someone similar to Tyson in Frasier and handled him very well, Tyson on the other hand has never fought anyone close to a Prime Ali (some [people may say Larry Holmes but he doesnt come close)

Yeah with Ali apparently being knocked out in the middle to late rounds, Marciano doesnt come close to the top heavyweights like Foreman, Ali, Frasier or even Tyson.
 
Naz vs Mayweather (a prime Naz with the reflexes and power as well as his unorthodox style would be a very difficult fight for Mayweather and I think Naz would have the power to stop him, then again Mayweather could win because of how open Naz was at times)

Mayweather vs Whittaker would also be good because Whittaker was a great defensive fighter and was also very unorthodox like Naz

Tyson's bobbing come forward style is very similar to Frazier's and Smokin Joe cause Ali a lot of problems.

Tyson didn’t have Frazier's stamina to continue like that every round and I think Joe had a better chin than Tyson also Ali could deal with Frazier’s come-forward style although it was with difficulty and, Tyson hits harder but Ali has a great chin and the way h took Foreman’s punches suggests to me that he could also take Tyson's punches. A prime Tyson had fantastic head movement and was very fast but Ali was much faster and I don’t think Tyson would be able to get around Ali's Jab and combinations that he used against the likes of Frasier.
 
He didn't take Foreman punches full on the chin. Frazier left hook put Ali down. Tyson was bigger and stronger.

Swarming Ali fighting on his chest was one way to get the better of him.

He took some of Foreman's punches on the chin and the fact that the others didn’t connect is a testament to Ali's defence and reflexes, Frasier put a rusty Ali who just left prison down but Ali got straight back up and Frasier couldn’t finish him so this point is meaningless, Frasier only got the better of Ali once and that again was when he was very rusty, his swarming as you call it was not effective in the other two fights and Tyson would not be able to Swarm for any length of time anyway, he certainly couldn’t do it for 12 rounds let alone 15 rounds that Ali was used to and he would not have been able to stop Ali especially not in the early rounds.
 
what about fights that did happen.....but at the wrong time?

Calzaghe v Jones Jnr
Calzaghe V eubank
Tyson V Lennox
Lennox V Vitali

I would add:

Naz vs Barrera (Prime Naz would win)

Hagler vs Leonard (I think a Hagler win just because the guy was an animal)
 
Naz just got it badly wrong in that fight.

I would probably add Carl Thompson v david Haye. Both on the wrong side of great at the time (Haye at Cruiser was good)
