prime joe frazier vs prime mike tyson

firstly, if the guy I was addressing posted back a civil response, then why are you being a rude piece of ****

and listen you pea brained reprobate.....if you look back at his post he talked about Marvis and Joe in the same scenario maybe I forgot to spot the hidden undertone of sarcasm in the passage he churned out....


its easily done, im sure similarly your mother was quite surprised when you popped out, when she thought she had a bad case of the thrush :hi:

 

Agree with this article partially, but im sorry mate, Tyson was no swarmer. Tyson had the ability to brawl, but was an awesome counter puncher aswell.....

and just take a look at Foreman vs Lyle.....Lyle is an example of a swarmer, and was within moments of KO'ing foreman

dont get me wrong....foreman is on my list as a top 5 ATG.....but i see tyson having an excellent shot at beating foreman......with foreman if you can out punch him, he can be beaten....Foreman didnt have the best chin in the world as people mistakenly think.....Ali rocked him multiple times before the KO, Lyle had him down....Jimmy Young along with outboxing him had him rocked.....and in his comeback he was never up against any prolific punchers, that includes Holyfield who just had the attitude of outboxing him.

the only way a young tyson gets beaten is by using effective movement and boxing....e.g. ALI

 

You are totally deluded

Larry Holmes. Larry Holmes was so good that he came back as an OLD man in the 90's and extended evander holyfield the distance.....as well as beating Ray Mercer, and some felt he did enough against Oliver Mccall for the title..

this was years after mike tyson had totally knocked the **** out of larry holmes in 1988....thats how DAMN GOOD mike tyson was...

tyrell biggs, who at the time of fighting tyson was considered to be a great threat, and who was the USA's touted prospect as the future of the heavyweight division in the amatuers, winning a Gold at the Olympics....was brutally beaten, and handed a defeat that all but ended Biggs' career

thats how damn good mike tyson was

so please....dont make such silly remarks....

no one is saying here that tyson is the GOAT....but he is an ATG atsch

 

yes tyson may not be a foreman in terms of pure power, i'l accept foreman is more powerful...

but tyson is faster, more accurate, and landed punches in bunches, with brutal combinations, and would probably be more likely than Foreman to catch Frazier... :bbb

 

Good point about the modesty (not sure if Tyson destroys frazier clean, but agree that tyson wins)

I remember tyson talking about alot of heavyweights in that regard, including Ali, Holmes, Louis and Liston...and with tyson being someone who studied boxing history intensely, i feel mike had alot of respect for champions of old

 

despite my previous posts defending the era of the 90's somewhat...im sorry, your comments above are totally wrong....

the era of the 70's was VERY special indeed, and the only man i see competing in that era was mike tyson...

again, you have to consider that a GREAT fighter like larry holmes came back and competed VERY effectively in the 90's, as did Foreman, with none of the champions, including holyfield, being able to destroy these old men like they should have if you are claiming they are every bit as good as you say they are (can you imagine an old lewis, holyfield, or bowe against peak ali, frazier, or foreman, they would get massacred!)

whereas tyson, was able to knock holmes into bolivion years before holmes had came back in to compete in the mid 90's. :smoke

Ali, Frazier, and Foreman are all time great gores of the ring

 

excellent balanced analysis :good
