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

[Ryn0]

Why is everyone assuming smokin joe couldn't hit as hard as tyson. Look how foreman hit ali and didn't knock him down, frazier knocked him down with one punch. Also how many fighters would get up six times after being knocked down six times by george foreman. I dont think tyson hit as hard as foreman so Frazier would win this by ko after 8

It's nothing to do with that, Frazier may hit just as hard at Tyson. Tyson is a very fast started and I think Tyson combination punching would get to Frazier, Tyson would land first and has IMO better head movement in his prime (ironically other than Tyson, Frazier is the 2nd best bob and weaver at HW)

Pretty easy win for Tyson. He is just a bigger better version of Frazier.
Better Chin, Better Power, Better combination of punches. Frazier would have little chance if he stood in front of Tyson trying to trade with him. He would have to hit tyson then grab on for dear life. He wouldn't be able to get past 5 rounds if he wanted to go to a Toe to toe battle with tyson.
Tysons punches are crisper, shorter, and to me more powerful then Frazier.

Tyson KO within 5 rounds. Joe would get knocked down a couple times and then knocked out.

Im rather surprised how many people think Tyson beats Frazier. I understand that Frazier starts slow, but the guy wrecked people to the body and was a better infighter than Tyson. I can see Frazier getting dropped, but eventually Tyson would get overwhelmed.

Could go one of two ways. Either Tyson blasts Joe out early as Joe was a slow starter or Joe makes it into the second half of the fight and either wears Mike down for a late TKO or wins a decision. Literally could have gone either way, I cannot pick a winner.

If it goes past 6 though, Mike ain't winning.

joe frazier will take out tyson in the later rounds
