    :deal. The reason the poll is biased, is because EVERYONE with the exception of one person, who thinks Tyson is better also thinks he wins H2H. However, that's clearly not the case with Frazier.

    Not sure how the thread got to become Lennox v. Tyson :lol:

    Frazier was greater than Tyson.
    Greater than Lewis too.

    It's close, but no.

    Yes.

    You're not as bad as the obvious Tyson haters here but I see right through your spin class. Hater!

    How does Tyson go from being 20 years old in 1986 to 22 years old in 1987?

    Iron Mike Tyson: Youngest heavyweight champion of all time.

    frazier had that extra layer of gumption, though pre-prison Tyson was pretty solid in that department too. Tyson had more offensive all round ability.

    I think frazier can weather Tyson and edge him out over 15, split decision. Over 12 Tyson might well edge it.

    And before him Patterson was the youngest, does that make him greater than Frazier....

    well I think frazier at 20 would have taken berbick, albeit with more of a struggle than Tyson did.

    berbick wasn't a good titlist.

    In other words, you consider me an honorouble Lewis hater (as you clearly are too), but I'm also a despicable Tyson hater. :lol:

    Frazier had by far the best single win.

    Tyson had more title defenses and about the double amount of wins against ranked opponents. He was also usually more dominant in victory.

    Tyson has more losses, but several of them came at an age where Frazier had long since retired. In a comparable career span Tyson lost against Douglas and two times against Holyfield; Frazier lost twice to Foreman and twice to Ali. Not much shame in losing to Foreman and Ali, but apart from Willard-Dempsey a reigning HW champion has never been as manhandled as Frazier was by Foreman. Willard was 37, had been inactive for several years and wasn't very good to begin with - so that's not stellar company in any way.

    In the end, it's about how much weight you put to each category. For me, I'm inclined to weigh Tyson's superior dominance in terms number of contenders/ranked opponents beat and how it happened heavier than I do Frazier's superior top win. So I'd probably have Tyson ahead of Frazier. But I don't in any way find it ludicrous that many have it the other way around.

    I'm not a Lewis hater. I just dip to that level to tick certain people off.

    If you're constantly posting on Lewis threads to discredit him every chance you get, like you do to Tyson, than yeah...you're a Lewis hater. I just haven't seen your posts in Lewis threads.
