    I think Tyson would probably stop Frazier in the early rounds but if it continues then I'm leaning towards Frazier.

    I think we just did this thread yesterday but I’ll respond anyway. James Bonecrusher Smith who fought Mike Tyson and was trained by Joe Frazier was asked in one of Ring Magazine’s battle of the legends series who would win. He picked Tyson by first round KO. Now... I don’t think I’d pick Joe to lose that early or easily. However, this type of match is bound to end up on the inside and in the trenches where by which I’d have to go with the harder puncher and better chin. For me that man is Mike Tyson...

    Tyson by TKO sometime within 6 rounds or earlier

    I like Mike to get the better of some exciting exchanges. Mike in 5.

    Again Mike is not invincible like his fans tended to describe him!
    He is not strong,hard puncher,with grrat chin and big/rangy as Foreman who couldn't keep Frazier down but how could Tyson do that?
    Frazier beat him late!

    Never claimed that Tyson was invincible just said that Tyson would probably stop Frazier early. He is a strong puncher with extremely fast speed and an iron chin.

    He KO'd Berbick who had only been stopped early in his career, he also knocked the **** out of Holmes who was unconscious for about one minute (The guy who took one of the hardest punches that Shavers thrown clean in the jaw and still didn't get knocked out) and please don't use the ''He was old'' excuse. Holmes went on to beat a prime Ray Mercer and go 12 rounds with Holyfield. He has a 75.86% knockout percentage.

    Let's move on to his chin. He took shots from Smith (although he didn't get hit cleanly that many times he still took shots from him), Bruno 2x, and ate several bombs from Ruddock without even flinching.

    Frazier was knocked down by Mike Bruce, 2x by Bonaveta, and 8x against Foreman. He was a notoriously slow starter, unlike Tyson who was great in the beginning but began to slow down in the end. So now imagine Frazier getting tagged cleanly by a prime Tyson who hits nearly as hard as Foreman but instead of getting hit once he gets hit by five punches that he doesn't even see. Wouldn't that have hurt more?

    This fight would be an absolute shootout. I can't see either fighter getting knocked out. I go with Frazier by decision if it's a 15 rounder only because I never saw Mike fight for 15 hard rounds.

    Yes. The thread is literally still on the front page... How anyone could've missed it is beyond me.
