MIKE TYSON (prime) Vs. JOE FRAZIER (prime)

Frazier KO...not sure what ROUND....we saw what Mike Tyson was made of when Buster Douglas hit him back...Fraziers Left HOOKS would be the difference IMO..Tyson is no Foreman

 

Tyson by KO, for sure.

 

Tyson by KO, Frazier's stlye would play into Tyson's strengths IMO.

 

I would pick Tyson by KO in the middle rounds but as Dunks said how would Tyson hold up to a fighter like Frazier hitting him back

 

That's right....Tyson was better than Foreman. Tyson would of destroyed Frazier. More speed, power, technique, and tenacity. The Douglas fight is a bad example, as he was already famous and disillusioned with boxing. Fight would be all wrong for Frazier.

 

Ruddock hit harder than Frazier, and that was a past prime Tyson that took him out twice. Tyson had no problem taking a hit, at any point in his career other than in the past few years. When discussing mythical matchups involving Tyson, I assume we're taking the prime 86-88 version.

 

Tyson couldn't handle opponents who weren't afraid of him. Frazier wasn't scared of anybody. It is just a question of time before Frazier knocks him out.

 

Yeah, we also know that Hagler was a brawler. We know that Whitaker was a runner. We know that Duran was a quitter. We know that the world is flat, etc.

 

Yeah you're probably right. I would suspect that that Frazier would be really vaulnerable to a devastating Tyson uppercut

 

Tyson was stronger than Foreman?:huh .....and the Douglas fight is a perfect example because finally Tyson was matched against someone who would hit him back and who could BOX....and Douglas was No FRAZIER!!!

 

Watch the Douglas fight AGAIN

 

So Tyson was never once hit back in his entire career up until the Douglas fight?

Tucker(you know, the one that TKO'd Douglas) Biggs, Thomas, Holmes, Spinks, and Williams couldn't box?

True, Douglas was no Frazier, they fought absolutely nothing at all alike, so why are you comparing them?

 

Why? What on earth does that have to do with a prime Tyson vs Joe Frazier?
