      Same here.

      Technically sound fighters like Ali, Lewis, Holyfield beat Tyson everytime prime for prime at their bests, but Frazier liked to slug it too and if he slugged with a Prime Tyson, then I think Mikey would win.

          Tyson takes him out early because of Frazier's tendency to start fights slow.

              I love Mike Tyson. But if 1971 Joe Frazier fought 1987 Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier by KO #

                Frazier's vulnerability to uppercuts would cost him against Mike. That's unfortunate for Joe, because if he survived against Mike, he had the kind of demanding style that would have brought the dog out of Tyson eventually.

                  Also the fact Frazier was 5'11 and liked to brawl. not a good sign specially when tyson only struggled with guys very tall, a prime tyson beats a prime frazier. do you guys remember how good tyson's defense was?

                    Tyson had really good head movement when he was young but if Frazier could get past 6 rounds, I'd give him a shot.
