    Jimmy Ellis
    Jerry Quarry*(TKO)
    Buster Mathis
    Chuvalo
    Bob Foster

    So yeah, he most likely knocks out Mike Tyson.

    Both Ellis and Chuvalo were TKO victories.

    Semantics really.

    Ellis was brutalized and dropped late in the 4th saved by the bell and couldn't come out for round 5 and Chuvalo had his face rearranged and essentially surrendered before Frazier could fukk him up further.

    They were as badly beaten as you could get. Frazier destroyed both.

    You disagree with the notion that Joe Frazier was a slow starter? A strange position to take considering the amount of footage we have of Joe giving away early rounds against even modest opposition.

    Opinions on the result of the imaginary fight kind of boils down to whether you think Tyson gets Frazier out of there early.
    Tyson was a ferocious and fast starter but I wouldn't bet on anyone getting a prime Frazier out in 2, 3 or 4 rounds. Maybe Joe Louis and Sonny Liston, but I don't even think George Foreman would have done the same thing against a Frazier of a few years earlier, despite his physical and stylistic advantages. It might have been a tough 5 or 6 rounds work for Big George if Frazier had been the fighter of 1970, 1971.

    I think people put way too much stock in Frazier's 2 round loss to Foreman. We know Frazier was damaged goods after 1971, people knew it at the time. He was 2 weeks in hospital suffering from fatigue and severe high blood pressure following the Ali fight. That's not normal. We also know he was living it up, partying and singing with his band increasingly in the years between the Ali and Foreman fight. He was way off what he had been. Frazier probably should have been retired already.

    Sonny Liston and Joe Louis would have been more capable of stopping Joe Frazier early? What makes you say that, Unforgiven?

    Liston had long jab and was quite brutal on the inside. Louis had the full package although sometimes he could be smothered too. Both of them at their best were classic style boxer-punchers, a very difficult stance and style for a Frazier.
    Foreman was similar but more open and upright.
    Tyson was a short weaving fighter himself.

    I suppose Liston's the one I'd bet on to stop a prime Frazier early. Foreman might take a few more rounds.
    Louis, I'm not sure, he had mixed performances against short aggressive types, but I think he'd win.

    Point is, Frazier was not some chinny slow-starting bum who gets taken out early by any puncher.

    exactly the same list of the ****py names of tyson´s list...

    plus frazier had ali drunk and down, and stopped the iron chinned chuvalo. tyson never did anything like that.
    so your "much harder" is laughable and pure fantasy

    Ali got up at the count of 1 or 2, Henry Cooper put Ali down too.

    Frazier and his long list of KO victims.
