    Oh Ok.

    According to that logic I guess Marvis Frazier beats Ali. :hi:

    Tyson will demolish frazier, speed, power, combinations, 5 big shots on the money, side to side unpredictably fast perfectly time head movement, two handed power, strong chin

    Sorry he just has more tools than frazier, even smoking Joe's heart isn't going to help here.

    Tyson lost to Buster Douglass. He's not invincible. Frazier meanwhile beat a near prime Ali

    Joe Frazier is my all time favorite fighter. This just isn`t a good style matchup here for him. He`s got a guy with quicker hands and explosive power. Tyson started quick to boot.
    I just see Joe bobbing into one of Tyson`s uppercuts. Mike could rip with both hands and he threw combinations at his best. Frazier woud be right in front of him.

    Smokin Joe eats up boxers but this is a different kind of fighter.

    How exactly does Tyson have the stylistic advantage? A large part of Foreman's stylistic advantage was his tremendous height and reach advantage. Tyson would not enjoy any of these. Tyson would always be looking to throw that uppercut. That is the worst possible thing to do against a hooker because it leaves them completely vulnerable to the hook. (This does not apply to Foreman because of his significant height and reach advantages) Tyson will be even more vulnerable because he will be using his right, which would leave him completely vulnerable to Frazier's patented left.

    They'd meet in close after coming together , then clinch a bit until Tyson lets rip savage uppercuts right on the button. A shot Frazier was wide open to and is Tyson's most destructive punch.

    Frazier and his left hook can't deal with that size , bulk , power ,speed and artillery.

    A head on clash between between the two will be won by the bigger and better Tyson 9 times outta 10.

    You're simply not running into Tyson as a smaller man and coming out the victor.

    He doesn't Tyson is no foreman in style. Joe meets him head on hits him A LOT and Tyson pusses out as always. You gotta have heart to fight SMOKIN" JOE

    Tyson likely to win early ... but if they get past round 5 Frazier will brutalize him down the stretch. IMHO, of course.

    Their about the same height. Tyson has faster hands, is stronger and was a two handed threat. Frazier could hurt you with his hook but Tyson could hurt his opponent with almost any punch in his ****nal. Uppercuts, hooks, overhand right. He also put his punches together better than Joe. Combinations.

    On top of that Tyson starts faster and Joe takes a few rounds to get going. Just not a good match for Joe.

    Unlike Big G.Forman Tyson and Frazier are much closer in size. I think some posters see what Foreman was able to do with Frazier and relate that to a hypothetical Tyson vs Frazier fight. Foreman was able to push Frazier around the ring . Would Tyson be able to do the same? Tyson definitely didn't have the reach advantage Foreman had and I don't think he had the physical strength Foreman possessed. I think it would be a tougher match-up than most imagine. Tyson probably wins 6 out of 10 fights, but in no way at anytime it being easy.
