    I'd say he beat Ellis to win the WBA title and add it to his NY title,thereby becoming the recognized champ.

    Tyson's lack of heart really gets taken to the point of caricature.

    IMO, Tyson had the talent and attributes to have won a world title in any era.

    I think prime Tyson beats every heavyweight champion from 1960-1980 except Foreman

    Tyson's defence was sound in his pomp and he would have a good 25lbs on Cooper.

    Tyson would love that. Poor ol' Frazier would be like a lamb going to the slaughter.
