    No, I met Tyson & he looked his listed 5' 11" 1/2. He fought crouching, taller guys & was squat.

    Around 217 peak, but I do not think as low as 7-8 % body fat, not quite that low.
    The weight of Bonavena, I think he qualifies as athletic. Frazier said it was like "moving around a refrigerator" dealing with him.

    Marvis may have been more athletic, & was good, but his Dad was better.
    I do not see Marvis beating a Foreman, unless way off, maybe if say the night he lost to Young.

    But yes, Tyson just has more physical assets & skills & would be too much for the more game Frazier.

    Frazier had a much better chin. Tyson's chin was relatively nonexistent. It was never really tested, but it failed on those rare occasions that he needed it.

    His chin was put to the test in bouts with Lennox Lewis (Tyson was KO’d), Evander Holyfield (Tyson lost on a TKO in which he admits to blacking out) and Buster Douglas (Tyson’s most infamous KO loss). :lol::lol:

    Muhammad Ali was pretty damn athletic the last time I checked. Frazier beat him once and put him through the ringer two other times.

    Tyson would have been put to sleep by the shots Foreman landed on Joe, feather fisted Douglas had him crawling like a baby. Frazier would have eaten Busters punches all night long.

    An uppercut is an uppercut, both Marvis and Joe were open for one.

    Tyson and Foreman had great uppercuts

    the writing is on the wall for Smoking Joe

    Tyson never fought someone like Frazier so you don't know what would happen, if Mike couldn't blast Joe out early and it comes down to a war of attrition there's only one winner and it ain't Tyson.

    marvis frazier beating foreman lmao!! boy you are a laughable cartoon, i think that foreman at 50 would have knocked out a peak marvis, and not, marvis was not more athletic than joe or anything, joe was better in every department possible, he was built like a hw, h ehad hw frame, he was robust to take shots from hws, he was compact,short for the iinside pressure style, marvis was emulating this style and he was not built to make this style effective, he was more a natural cruiser 190 pounder. joe had more stamina, more heart, better skill,much more power, more strength, he was much better puncher, he had much better defence
