Could frazier beat tyson?

A shot Frazier got up 6 times vs George Foreman...Its not like Frazier would not throw back and a prime Frazier got rocked a few times but he took Quarrys best punches in fight 1. I think the Foreman fights throw people off. Frazier had a very short prime and could not mantain the type of conditioning needed to be successfull for his style. VS Tyson, I give Mike a big early edge and he may drop Joe or worse but if the fight goes into the mid rounds and Frazier lets Mike feel his power it would get harder on Tyson and I feel Frazier would get stronger....Prime for Prime a tough fight

 

This is how I see it.

 

Possible, but not likely. Joe might take it if the fight went into the later rounds, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

I'd like to add that Frazier has the better inside game and that's where the fight would be. I think Frazier would be able to move Tyson back ala Holyfield and win by late TKO. As another poster and I have been saying, Tyson doesn't push his opponents off, he tends to clinch and hold and Frazier would be able to dig to the body in those spots and wear him down.

 

Joe might surprise everyone by going to the body early and and take the fight inside to get things smoking.

Never seen Tyson involved in a long-term body attack type fight.

 

Yes.Plus in his prime,when did Mike ever have to handle anyone remotely as good as Joe.Evander was a great fighter,but was he really a great heavyweight?He smoked Mike by standing up to Mike's power and beating him back.Frazier by ko in 7.

 

Good matchup! My opinion: Frazier was better on the inside, had better stamina, and more heart. Tyson was better at mid-range, hit harder, and was faster. I think, in 10 fights, Tyson wins 6 times.
