New School Fighters vs. Old School Fighters

[GJC]

Now this is an interesting match-up. If we think of an early Tyson (with his jabs, and his bob and weave style) as a Frazier type fighter then I think we could say that Tyson would give Ali trouble.

But how mentally tough was the Cus D'Amato era Tyson? Come round 6,8,10,12 if the fight's outcome was still on the line would he have been able to dig down deep and do his best fighting? Or would he have self-destructed? And self-destructed doesn't necessarily mean biting Ali's ear it could simply be throwing nothing but wide hooks and being countered to death.

Keep seeing Tyson as compared with Frazier, think the only likeness is the height IMO.
Tyson was average to poor on the inside whereas Frazier was one of the best HW fighters on the inside. I was always disappointed that Tyson didn't develop his inside skills I would think it would project him a few places up most ATG lists mine included.
