    Have to pick Tyson here. Frazier starts slow, and Tyson starts fast. If Frazier could somehow make it into the later rounds he could win but I just don't see that happening.

    Tyson's fast start and exceptional uppercut are the difference here. Much respect to Joe's heart and grit, but he's outgunned here by a more versatile offensive machine.

    a one armed pressure fighter with very good power, against a two armed fighter with big power.

    Tyson all day.

    Tyson even has a much better chin than Frazier.

    I thought this would be a much closer poll. It started out 50/50, but then Tyson started running away with it.
