    I say Tyson by KO. Tyson had the size advantage and would be too much.

    It's going to be like a head on collision. The bigger stronger and faster guy is going to come out best. This might be fun and exciting, but it won't last long. Tyson in 3 rounds.

    This is easy. Frazier would get knocked out in 1-2 rounds.

    Tyson because he was Frazier 2.0

    more power, more speed, skilled in both hands, more pracise.

    Fraziers only advantage is the stamina but it wont help him because Iron Mike would knock him out inside 3 Rounds.

    Let's not forget Frazier had a soft chin. Tyson would knock him out with the first combo he lands and he'd land easily because Joe would come right at him, he had no plan B in his game.

    I can see why people favour Tyson but how can you not give Joe a chance?
    A guy with power and heart has to have a squeak, surely? If he gets through the first few rounds, his chance improves. Maybe he wouldn't ,but it's possible.
    I bet if an Ali-Tyson fight came on here, it would be 70% in favour of Ali, yet Joe beat Ali when he was still great! I see it as a fight that either guy could win, genuinely 50-50.

    Frazier is a legend, the guy won "fight of the century"
    Tyson never beat anyone that wasn't scared of him.
    Don't say "they were scared cause he was so good"
    They were scared because of media hype.
    After Buster Douglas exposed the myth he was easy meet for quality fighters like Danny Williams

    Joe was a slow starter in an era where 210-220 lb HWs were "big".

    Tyson by KO - most likely early, maybe 1st round and maybe brutal :dead

    @Eric cantona
    Joe was almost stopped by near clumsy ox Oscar Bonavena when he was fresh and near his prime.
    "Fight of the Century" was marketing b/c JF and Ali were undefeated.
    "The Greatest" was self promotion by Ali that the media ran with. Forty years later some think this is some established law of the universe :lol:

    Funny you see hype for one fighter but not for others :think

    Tyson all day. He's faster, better skill and hits harder.

    Easy.

    Frazier by intimidation because Tyson was nothing but a bully, and Frazier like Holyfield was simply unafraid of anything, or anyone.

    Tyson had the mentality of a coward, and would collapse after the first minute of Joe taking his shots and firing back.
