I'm not saying Foreman and Tyson have similar styles, because they don't. But Tyson-Frazier would be Frazier-Foreman I all over again in terms of Joe just getting beat down. Frazier is an ATG, one of the greatest HW's, but he did not have the style to beat Tyson.
I would favor prime versions of Ali, Holmes, Foreman, Holyfield, Bowe, and Lewis 100% to beat him. And Liston, Wlad, Vitali would be 50-50 fights in my opinion.
Can you imagine Tyson vs. Foreman/Liston??? Those would be wars.
Foreman would take a lot of punishment from Tyson in the early rounds. When Tyson sees that he can't knock foreman out, Tyson would become mentally weak and foreman would KO TYSON.
Tyson by ref stoppage, Joe doesn't take a count.
Joe Frazier starts too slow and Tyson too fast, in the early rounds Frazier could be tagged very solid by the likes of Chuvalo who have nowhere near the speed, skill and power of Tyson.
Liston would be bad for Frazier also IMO, can't see Joe getting much done.
Same goes for Tyson, he's gonna have a bad time against Liston or Foreman.

Tyson would KO Frazier prime for prime. Frazier didn't have the style to beat him. Tyson would be coming forward, as would Frazier. Something would have to give and I'd bet on Tyson to stop Frazier.
Ali had the style in his prime to put a beating on Tyson though.
