    If green goes the distance, Frazier ain't going out early.

    Difference being I haven't suggested he would!













    ps Mitch Green clinched and clutched, Frazier did not have that in his DNA he would be storming forward trying to win with every fibre of his body, more opportunities for Tyson who was never very effective with guys who clinched him. Tyson inside TKo 8 rds.And I would hope I was wrong!

    I do agree Frazier would be storming forward but I think it would discourage Tyson seeing someone who's been hit with his best shots but still coming for more. Frazier would undoubtedly have a mental edge. This imo is going to cause problems, especially when Tyson was used to it (and relied heavily on it by his own admission) being the other way around. Just food for thought.

    If Frazier could manage to stay on Tyson's chest then he has a great chance of stopping him, a peak Frazier is massively underestimated on here.

    Tyson was better than Wilder.

    Sure, but the end result is a Buster Mathis type knock out.

    Good comparison. Mathis made Tyson look bad for a couple rounds.

    Mathis fought a rusty Tyson out of the ring for 4 years. A better comparison would be a Prime Tyson vs Jesse Ferguson.

    If he fell 6 times in one round to Foreman, he will fall to Tyson easily.

    No no no, Foreman hit harder than Tyson no matter how much your rose tinted spectacles tell you otherwise......

    Tyson much faster, more accurate and still a hard puncher. Bad combination for frazier.
