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

[Eken]

Tyson by KO in round four!

[jabsRstiff]

I'd have to go with Tyson...KO5.

Frazier was a bit too easy to hit, especially with uppercuts, to survive the Tyson attack.

Tyson has always been a frontrunner....but Joe did not have the style to frustrate Tyson.
He'd be there for Tyson to hit....& Tyson's bombs would have more of an effect on Joe than Joe's would on Tyson.


It's a bad style matchup for Frazier.

[Truth]

this belongs in fantasy fights, not nonstop boxing

your right, but Mayweather vs. Hearns is in this section.

Although, Frazier was a great heavyweight in his time, tyson would knock
him out before the third round. THe reason: Frazier was a notoriously slow starter and Tyson a very fast starter who likes to get business done early.
Tyson by KO2

Tyson had great stamina in his prime. In order to beat him you'd need a stiff jab in his face & even in his prime I'm not so sure that a stiff jab would've been enough to throw him off his game. Kid Dynamite would stop Joe within 3. Joe would get into a heavy exchange with Mike & that would be his downfall. I don't think Joe's power would discourage Tyson. In his prime his chin was granite & he could punch with both hands.

Tyson has NEVER had great stamina, he has ALWAYS become very ordinary after the 5th or 6th round. Frazier fought some of the greatest heavyweights in history and held his own while becoming a legend in the sport himself.

Tyson will be talked about for years to come, but it will be about what could have been, not what he actually did in the ring - other than biting Evanders' ear of course...

[hexman]

it would be a 1st round ko for either one

Don't think so. Joe's jab was average at best & he didn't throw his right hand with authority. Yeah he had great stamina but to take a Tyson punch with his fast hands, nope. Joe would get Tyson's attention like Razor Ruddock did with his left but Tyson wasn't in any real danger. Tyson's stamina was good in his prime. He kept coming forward and he'd still be throwing with authority. Tyson has had many KO's after the 5 or 6th round so I don't know where you get ordinary from. We're talking about his prime not the 90's version

Tyson has only 4 KO wins after round 6, and all of them were TKO wins NOT KO wins, that is where I get it from....

[Knicksman20]

TKO or KO they ALL count as KO's. Joe gets smoked by Tyson. He's bigger, stronger, & faster.

We can rebuild him, we have the technology, we can make him bigger, stronger, faster---he will be "The I Made $300,000,000 And Now I'm Bankrupt Man"
