"Conor Benn ............. let me put it this way. I'm a working man who has enough by grace to feed my family but if you were to offer me 100-million dollars to watch Conor Benn I wouldn't take it.
The only reason I watched Benn was ............................. "

I've always thought Tyson would blow Joe away.

Been a while since the village idiot Katlholo has written in. Keeping it brief as always!

One of the very few times I disagree with Breadman - I too hold that sentiment. Tyson's blink and you miss head movements and one-punch KO power AND he wouldn't be fighting the massive behemoths he fought his whole career would prevail. If anything, I believe Tyson stops Frazier in a short but sure fire fight.

I hope he reads the comments sections - Boots is going to unify the 154 division probably be the end of 2026 and I would like to read his take on that.

Mike has the 'special effects' while Joe has the bigger heart

Absolutely. Both would never be the same after.

Agree with Bread. If best Tyson fights best Frazier, I make Frazier 2/5 on. The best Tyson beat longer taller fighters with speed but also with looping shots that caught them out of their eye line. Tyson never could've coped with a guy like Frazier that bore into him & just threw punches & would be inside those big swiping hooks. Look at how Holyfield beat Tyson & Holyfield didn't, remotely, have either the power or the in-fighting skills of Frazier. I accept the Tyson that Holyfield beat wasn't the best Tyson. Peak Tyson has a small chance. He has fast hands &, surprisingly for a short man, a left jab. He might catch Joe with a big shot coming in, I doubt it but he might. If he doesn't, then he's toast. Once Frazier is inside that is it for Tyson. As Bread said, Tyson has 3-4 rounds to catch Joe coming in with something devastating. If he doesn't do that then Frazier just will use Mike as a punch bag.
