    This would be 1968 version of Joe, up against Tyson on the comeback trail after being released from jail.

    12 rounds
    3 kd rule applies


    Who wins, how/when?

    Joe is too cute to be caught by Mike who at this point was very reliant on his power and not so reliant on his speed and skill. Joe 'survives' the first three rounds and thereafter overcomes Mike, brutalising him and stopping him on his feet after the tenth. He doesn't have the power to ko Mike but Mike doesn't have the engine post prison, or the desire, to match Joe and is stopped, helpless on the ropes as Joe unloads again and again...

    Joe is hungry as hell while Tyson is desireless, devoid of his previous mental and physical speed. This Tyson gets backed up by McNeeley and a mauling Holyfield. The 1991 Tyson was a immovable object not even a physical specimen like Ruddock could move him back.

    Joe Frazier administers a sustained 8 round shellacking.

    Joe beats the ever loving dog caca out of Iron Mike.
