    Frazier was at his best against Foreman but Tyson wasn't at his best against Douglas? #typicaltysonfanboylogic

    Buster Mathis fought like Tyson? Frazier made easy work of him? Ever check the score cards?
    Tyson has speed ,size and two fisted power on Frazier ,he also had a better chin.Tyson wins this imo.

    I have great respect for Joe Frazier. He was one of the great heavyweights. His chin was good not average. He took punches not many man could. With that said Tyson should beat him. He was more talented and a quicker starter. Mike was more explosive.

    Tyson could beat Foreman but Its certainly not a given, it`s a tough fight that could go either way. They can both punch.

    Tyson wouldn't even beat Old Foreman, even in his absolute peak in '88 when Foreman was rusty.

    Tyson imo has no chance against the likes of Foreman and Liston.

    That`s fine we all have opinions but in reality Mike Tyson could hit about as hard as anyone. Tyson had more dynamite than Frazier in both hands and he was faster with his hands than Joe. If Big George made a mistake he would find himself on the canvas.

    Tyson would be to terrified to capitalize on Foreman's mistakes.

    Tyson and frazier were not even similar... Frazier was an inside pressure fighter and tyson fought in the middle distance. Tyson's style was much more similar to patterson's. Tyson was hardly bigger than Frazier both guys fought in the 201 pounds limit at the same age in the amateurs,their frame was pretty similar in size simply tyson added a few pounds of muscle because he did need it in a different era. But tyson was not bigger than Frazier at all. But yes you right.. Tyson was faster
