    Oh I agree with that,,if the bell rings for round 5 and Frazier is still there it becomes a battle of wills and in that contest ,Tyson is taking a beating.

    Joe would get banged up early and possibly dropped. Mike would see after four rounds Joe was not only staying in there but gaining momentum. Frazier refuses to be bullied: Mikes attempts to outmuscle Joe are met with mouthpiece-soaring hooks, and Futch had well versed the latter in uppercut efficiency. Joe loves Mike’s style, he doesn’t have to chase him!

    Mike gets cautious and is thus forced to fight backwards a lot, hugely minimizing his effectiveness. Joe is in his face too much, and the hooks hurt bad. Mike is staggering all over the ring and falls face first after the ref stops it in 7.

    Intriguing fight
    I get that Mike is a quicker starter but I just can’t see it being a Foreman type job if this is a prime Frazier. Both prime I’m going to go for Frazier pulling out a decision after getting knocked down a couple of times early on
