    Ali throws some jabs at Tyson

     NEW YORK (AP) -- What's Muhammad Ali's idea of a good joke? Imagining a fight between himself and Mike Tyson.
     In the July 14 issue of The New Yorker magazine, Ali is asked whether Tyson could have beaten him.
     "Don't make me laugh," replied the former heavyweight champion, who then broke into laughter. "Tyson don't have it. He don't have it." To dispel any doubt about what "it" is, Ali pointed to his head.
     The 55-year-old Ali retired from boxing in 1981.
     Tyson was temporarily suspended last week by Nevada's boxing commission pending a disciplinary hearing on how he should be punished for biting Evander Holyfield's ears during their heavyweight championship fight.
