    The MUHAMMAD ALI victory probably has a lot to do with it.

    He holds a win over the greatest heavyweight ever and took him to hell-and-back in their third fight.

    plus I think many feel he wins head to head

    He beat Ali and took part in arguably the greatest heavyweight fight in history, i.e. thrilla in manilla

    this. And that has a lot to do with the better opposition that frazier had to face. I like tyson but during his time, there wasnt anyone who posed a major threat to him, only his lifestyle

    Frazier ended the Greatest heavyweight of all time Muhammed Alis undefeated streak.

    That accomplishment alone beats anything that Tyson did in his whole career.

    But head to head,Prime for Prime.Iron Mike has a very good chance of beating Frazier. Styles makes fights.

    I think Tyson would've destroyed Frazier prime for prime, but Joe deserves to be ranked higher based on him beating a close to prime Ali. The only HOF fighter that Tyson beat was an ancient Larry Holmes.

    Fraizer was more of a beast in the ring, I think. Their power was comparable, too.
