    If you think Ike Williams wasn't," a very good puncher",then you confirm what the vast majority of us already believe ,that you belong in the general lounge with the other children like "Ali sucks".

    Tyson has an excellent resume,a more comprehensive body of work than Frazier who has one great win,and 4 emphatic losses against ATG's.

    I gave Ike Williams as an example of a very hard puncher who had a low ko percentage and you made silly faces in response.
    You are hard work because who ever engages with you has to debate both arguments ,simply because you can't keep up and have to have everything explained to you.It isn't very rewarding so I think I'll bail out.

    Tyson had George Foreman or better power, and we saw what happened when Frazier fought Foreman. Tyson walks through him in one or two rounds.

    Foreman had greater power, Tyson better overall technique & speed.

    Love Frazier, but he does not have the physical advantages that Tyson does, & that Great Heart would just not be enough.

    holmes never beat any atg unless you count the ali fight when ali had nothing! Ali landed only one perfect jab in that fight and that was it.

    you are so ignorant only 2 men have beaten frazier. the greatest of all time and another atg. tyson has been knocked out by journeymen. frazier has beaten ali once, a case can be made that he beat ali in the rematch. and he nearly killed ali in the thrilla in manilla before his corner forced him to quit and ali litterally collapsed after he found out he won. ali wanted to quit.
    i think frazier was on his way to victory against foreman in their second match untill frazier dropped his contact lense.

    oh if you want to play that game

    name me a great fighter that Frazier beat who wasn't off from a 3-4 year exile from boxing?

    Frazier is 1-4 against Atgs and the one he win, as you stated he nearly died against.

    Frazier nearly dies against a guy coming off a 4 year lay off :patsch

    what great prime fighters did Holyfield beat?
    what about Lewis?
    what about Marciano?
