Mike Tyson (Prime) vs. Joe Frazier (Prime)

[Xecutioner]

Tyson DID NOT do many things better then Frazier-he had a lesser work-rate, did not bob and weave even half as much as Frazier, had lesser stamina, and was a front runner, while Frazier started slow and got stronger as the fight progressed. This comes down to styles-if Frazier comes straight at Tyson, I think he takes too much damage and eventually gets Tko'd in the mid-late rounds. If he chooses to move and box more early, as he did with Foreman in their 2nd fight, and start smoking later in the middle rounds, Frazier wins with a 10th round KO.

my thoughts exactly

frazier wasnt tall..he was perfect hight to get all of prime tyson's fast and quick uppercuts...i say tyson doesnt even let it go to late rounds

tyson ko 3

Anyone who looks at this fight without an agenda knows this is an easy fight to predict the outcome of.

There the same height 5'11, fight in the same style.

Except Tyson would have 20lbs of muscle on Frazier, Tyson would have much faster hands, Tyson could KO you with any punch from any angle with either hand while Frazier pretty much just had his left hook, Tyson would have a better chin,

Its a flat out mismatch.

I dont care who you are no smaller man in the history of this sport is just gonna walk right in and brawl with a prime Mike Tyson.

mike tyson in his prime would knock frazier out in 2 rounds, i guarentee it, althoguh frazier is one of the greatest fighters of all time, mike tyson had george foreman-like power

Frazier would knock Tyson out in late rounds, but the only problem for Frazier is, it would never make it to late rounds. Tyson would be on him from the opening bell. Once Frazier got hurt (and a prime Tyson would definitely hurt Frazier) Tyson would finish him. Tyson Ko in 3

Tyson all over Frazier in the opening round. Frazier will be lucky if he gets out of it alive, if he chooses to stand close to tyson and fire back. It's a complete mismatch cause I think Tyson's stronger and faster.

I honestly dont know who wins but it does not go past 3 rounds.

[warped]

Can't doubt the earlier indestructability of Iron Mike.

I am not sure. Most seem to think Frazier would get killed, based on his two losses to George Foreman. Maybe, but remember, Foreman was alot stronger than Tyson. Tyson could probably hit at Foreman-level, but Foreman was stronger. He just overwhelmed Frazier with his size and strength. Tyson had the punching power, sure, but he lacked size. He would not be able to push Frazier around and make him back up. I actually believe Frazier to be stronger than Tyson!

Tyson would defintely have a good chance to beat Frazier if he could hurt him early. But if the fight goes beyond five rounds, Tyson gets it.

Another thing is Tysons lacking heart, combined with Fraziers lions heart. Tyson would most likely deck Frazier several times, but he gets easily frustrated and scared when his foe keep on coming like Frazier would.

I see this fight having to possible outcomes:
Scenario 1:
Tyson throws wild punches after only about two rounds, desperately seeking to put Frazier on the canvas for keeps. At this time, Frazier would slowely start taking control of the fight and a few rounds later, Frazier starts smokin´ and Tyson starts cryin´. A brutal tko inside ten rounds, possibly a UD.

Scenario 2:
Tyson comes out like he did with Spinks, throwing accurate combinations and using his speed and power to take control of the fight right away. Inside of three rounds the ref stops the fight. Tyson by Tko.

Like I said, I am not sure! Tyson might very well have beaten Frazier, but it is not the "sure thing" alot of you make it out to be in my opinion.

Sorry, but this would be too close to call. But one thing though, it would be a fcking close. You probably could sell out Madisen Square Garden three times over for this match. No joke.
