    You think...man how Tyson chin is better?He eas stopped 5 times by no punchers and Frazier was stopped twice by the hardest puncher then how Tyson had better chin?
    Tyson power is maybe a bit better than Frazier but skill?Frazier bob and weave cpuld last 15 rounds while Tyson could only do that for 5,6 rounds then stamina would kill him!
    Frazier is better in everyhing than Tyson except power!

    Hand speed=Tyson
    Power=50/50 Tyson early had more power Frazier had better power late
    Footspeed=Equal
    Headmovement=Frazier because he could do that faster for 15 full rounds
    Counterpunching=equal
    Stamina=Frazier
    Heart=Frazier
    Chin=Frazier
    Workrate=Frazier
    Frazier like Holyfield had same advantage amd would win same way

    Generally agreed. However, I don't think either man was a counterpuncher really. Both were forward-moving men, and didn't know a thing about defense.

    I really don't know!
    Frazier could counterpunch with left while Tyson did that with right!
    They both could do that but not very good!

    This is more like it, but both Frazier and Tyson had heart; Mike just didn't have one quite the size of Joe's (but hey, few did besides, Holy, Louis, Holmes, and Ali).

    Joe also had a very good right hand (probably on the level of a Norton, who was also no-joke with that punch). It's just that he threw that left SO much. Watch Quarry II to see how killer that right could be.

    It's hard to tell just how good of a right hand Frazier possesses. When he throws the left, it's easy to say that he has a crumby right. But I've never thought Joe has a significant right hand.

    I would definitely take another look at Frazier-Quarry II. It wasn't as powerful as Mike's, but it was way better than Cooney's lol. Like I mentioned, about Ken Norton-level.

    Untrue. Frazier was taller, had a longer reach, superior durability, higher work-rate, better body puncher, better in the inside, better defense (as Tyson all but abandoned his after the first round or 2), etc.

    I disagree. Look how he destroyed Quarry with his right and cut him to ribbons.

    I'm proud of you! You make good points in this thread, and are semi-decipherable.

    Oh ya, didn't he drop Quarry with a right to the body? I recall he did the same to Bugner right?
