    If Tyson doesn't bomb Frazier out in 5-6"rounds, Jokin Smoe takes over

    I feel Frazier would avoid Tyson's early pot shots and stop him in the later rounds or make him quit.

    Shot Tyson would be dangerous only in the 1st and 2nd round (see Nielsen and Lennox fights), I'd pick Frazier late.

    But unlike Lewis, Frazier wouldn't be hard to find or hard to hit.

    If Tyson can go 8 rounds with the superior Lewis, i think hed handle Frazier a bit easier

    Yeah, it depends if Tyson would be able to land it early.

    Prime4prime it's an easier pick, 2002 Tyson had nothing left in tank after 3 rds, and Frazier 75 though clearly past his best still had the stamina for long fights.

    75 Frazier had the grit, roughness and skill to last the predictable Tyson early 3 round onslaught, after that game over for Mikey...

    Joe had too much heart for the 02 Tyson, After Mike runs out of gas in the mid rounds he gets stopped..

    Frazier wins on a late stoppage..

    Tyson had enough to last 8 rounds against Lewis and he still had his power, so I think he catches Frazier in the first 3 rounds. Frazier could win on points but I don't see him knocking Tyson out. The guy could take a hell of a punch

    Manila Frazier would crush him .. Tyson had little left against Lennox .. that Tyson was not bombing Joe out and Joe would have made him quit before ten rounds ..

    The first round or two would be furious action back and forth Frazier though would likely begin to take over around the end of the 2nd round. I think from that point on Frazier would work away at Tyson till he finally breaks him down.

    Frazier no doubt about it. KO between 7/10 rounds

    In this scenario,Frazier takes over after three rounds or so.


    Frazier knocks out Tyson by the time the fight's two thirds over. Mike no longer had the accuracy to hurt Frazier consistently enough early on in order to win.
