I think Mike Tyson was better all around, punched harder, faster hands and feet, better defense.

The fans rating Frazier over Mike have lost their minds. Maybe reliving "the good ole' days" perhaps? I don't know. I honestly think when people do these comparisons, whether it be music, art, or anything else, that they have to give themselves a lesser "hero" to worship in order to feel better about themselves. I also think they vote with their heart and not their head, but that's what makes the world what it is I guess.

I liked Joe Frazier a lot, but would not rank him over Tyson. I think Mike Tyson was better all around, punched harder, faster hands and feet, better defense.

The thread is 100% about resume tho, not H2H, who hits harder, who had more speed and who had the better defense. So most of those rating him higher consider him to have the better resume.

It's quite close IMO.

I have Frazier ahead and clearly (but not uncompetitvely so), but both are greats who cleaned out their division.
