Tyson and Frazier fought nothing alike. They weren't built anything alike either. The only thing they had in common was height.

If you want a style comparison, Tyson fought like Patterson and Jose Torres.

Somebody has to. These idiots run around on this site as they have for years and pretend to be boxing fans when in reality they do not follow the sport, and have only seen Pacquiao fights from 08 to now, and highlight reels from earlier in his career. They can talk about Floyd and Manny all day for all I car, which is what they do, but for them to talk about legendary fighters and ATG's like Tyson, Frazier, Ali, etc. is a disgrace to those fighters and the sport. If Pacquiao fans weren't so stupid I wouldn't need to, but what he said was idiotic and I just called him on it.

And who are you exactly, the ultimate boxing fan god/expert?

Just because a fan doesn't have the same amount of knowledge as you think it doesn't mean they can't be a fan.

Why don't u enlighten us with your wisdom? It would be more productive than ranting.

Compared to this idiot? Yes, I'm God. Have you seen anything he's posted? He is not a boxing fan at all. He is a Pacquiao fanboy and nothing more, and to talk about Tyson and Frazier without having a clue is a disgrace to the fighters and the sport and I felt like giving my 2 cents, just as you have to me. Aren't we free to do that?

He wouldn't survive. No way.

Agreed to all. But the bold makes me laugh. It makes me think of Ken Norton's remark during his commentary to the "Thrilla in Manila."

And while Tyson, at his peak, could have beaten anyone that ever lived, there's a reason why Frazier consistently ranks higher on ATG heavyweights lists.

Similar to Ali-Frazier, I reckon. But the score might've been "Smokin'" Joe 2, Larry 1.

You haven't added a single thing to this thread, aside from trash talking people.

You call everyone else an idiot, but you're looking like a complete fool your damn self. Your "2 cents" in this thread, isn't even worth that...

Green K sent.

Frazier hits the canvas a couple times early, and finishes the fight brutalizing Tyson, winning a close decision.
