      I think both of them has earned their credit in this category!

      i'll give it to Joe though. look at the Thrilla in Manilla, he slipped A LOT of punches! While Tyson at the end of his career didnt have that much head movement. What im basically saying is that Joe was as good for a longer amount of time.

        I'd say Tyson, but I have also seen more Tyson fights then Frazier fights.

            Frazier and Tyson had similar movement but the young tyson pre-jailtime had far more speed, and his counters were devastating with both hands equally. I would say tyson.

              Id say Tyson was better of working of the angles when he slipped punches (Carl Williams) but Frazier was better at slipping when applying consistent pressure.

                I'll take Tyson, i've seen Frazier take a lot of punches he could have easily slipped when he was young, which Tyson wouldn't allow as much.

                  End of Thread...Frazier would do it while coming after you better than Tyson...Mike's reflexes were faster though
