    Tyson within 3 rounds. Frazier has the biggest set of ballsacks in boxing history. Won't save him from this onslaught.

    Tyson cpuld not win in 3 rounds!He is not Foreman!He is not big,strong,rangy,with height and reach as Foreman and his chin is not close to Foreman!
    Buster Mathis Jr was able to frustrate Tyson with his bobbing and weavin Frazier style!
    Frazier>>Mathis Sr>>>Mathis Jr.
    It is like Mathis Jr 3.0 and he would survive first 5 rounds and then what?We would see Tyson got very bad beating in later rounds!

    Tyson adv:

    - Size
    - Strength
    - Power
    - Speed
    - Chin

    Frazier adv:

    - Stamina
    - Recuperability

    Defensive abilities should be even here, since both fight a short opp.

    Is Joe Frazier the only fighter in fantasy matchups to overcome a power, speed, chin and size disadvantage? Isn´t this close to a RBV situation?

    Frazier that night might win, but Tyson had quicker, faster hands and they're hard hitting too, Joe was more about the left and the left hook, Mike had quicker movement overall imo and Joe is chugging forward at an aggressive Tyson who's going to be digging to the body as well. They're about the same height, Mike a little heavier. That's not a good recipe for taking on prime Mike. Tough for Joe. He might win if he makes through the first half of the fight, but it's tough. 60-40 Tyson.

    Good fight while it last's but I can't see Frazier reaching the halfway stage. Frazier would be on the back foot against an opponent who is not far off a stone heavier, much faster, stronger, bigger punch, better chin, let alone more skilled. I could only see Frazier's punches damaging Tyson later in the fight when he might have worn down, but Tyson would not let the fight have gone that far.

    The Frazier from March 8, 1971 wasn't going to be denied!!! Ali would have had to kill Frazier that night to secure a victory!!! That Joe beats Mike Tyson!!!

    Tyson advantage is chin?Are you out of your mind or what!
    Frazier chin is ATG and Tyson was not known for iron chin!
    Size?I know you are Tyson fan but size?Again Frazier is taller 1 1/2 inch and had bigger reach and how is Tyson bigger than him?What size?Size of Tyson fan maybe?
    What about Frazier heart and bigger preassure,better head movement and constant attack for 15 rounds?

    Joe Frazier had a big heart and a big left hook too. When he got decked against George Foreman in 1973, he got right back up. When Tyson lost to Douglas, he was fumbling for his mouthpiece. Against Holyfield, I do not call eating your opponent's ear a sign of heart.

    Who in the hell did Tyson beat in his career that's even close to FOTC Frazier. I'll tell you who. No one.
    Frazier wins by corner stoppage by the 8th
