    You didn't answer the question so I will do it for you.

    NONE!!!!
    Ali went down and was up at 4.He was in more trouble against Cooper than he was in that 15th rd.
    Chuvalo and Stander were face first brawlers who maximised the impact of punches on themselves simply because they had zero head movement and no idea how to slip a punch.
    Frazier pounded on Mathis all night before he succumbed, he was a grinder.Tyson knocked ranked heavyweights OUT! Insults coming thick and fast simply because you cannot win the point, sad really, but par for the course.

    It could drop a bull, but hardly dropped anyone he actually fought....except a guy who was always open to left hooks (as great as he was)

    mcvey thinks tua would beat frazier.On his best day David Tua got out jabbed by Ike Ibeabuchi, have you ever heard of Ike Ibeabuchi? Do you know anyone that does? I'm not trying to be mean here, but every time Tua comes up against real competition, aside from Ruiz and Oleg Maskaev (who was not in the greatest of shape), gets outworked. Frazier, on the other hand took Ali to the limit beat him once a case can be made he woulda won the Thrilla had his corner not quit. he doesn't have the speed to out jab Joe and he doesn't have the head movement. At. All. To avoid Joe's shots, Tua also has alwlays lacked the body conditioning to sustain a Joe Frazier attack to the body where Joe Frazier went 51 rounds with Ali over the course of his career. This isn't a fight it's Joe Frazier by utter annihilation.

    Ike Ibeabuchi had a granit chin, good jab and a decent height and reach advantage over Tua. Those are three pretty important advantages that Joe wouldn't have.

    Gentlemen, let's not tear each other's throats out over something we'll never be able to prove. You can make a case either way. Though Joe's one of my favorites, I'd put money on Tyson, who was a little faster, little bigger, little more coordinated.

    But Mike better do the job in 5 or 6 rounds, because Frazier has a much better track record over the distance, and Tyson would be in real trouble if Joe's still around after the half-way point.

    what insult? What the hell are you talking about? this classic stupid question of "ranked fighters" is not a valid point because frazier and tyson did not fight in the same era..and chuvalo could have been pretty well " a ranked fighter" in the era of tyson. ali got iron chin and frazier did put his ass in the floor with a single shot, and shavers could not do it with a zombie version of ali(AND YES, SHAVERS DID CATCH ALI CLEAN WITH A RIGHT HAND)

    so you did admit that if he landed it , he could drop anyone... Because ali had one of the best chins of all time

    Omg what has that got to do with the price of bacon??

    Frazier was knocked out once against the most destructive puncher in the division.

    Tyson was knocked out four times with only Lewis out of those who was considered being a big puncher.
