    I'm confused TS, what are we rethinking?

    Are you saying Sugar Ray Robinson isn't the GOAT? Or what?
    Agreed Tyson is the much greater fighter.

      I don't think anybody with an ounce of respect for the sport's credibility would ever compare a fragile,cherry picking leech like Frazier to an absolute rock,and an explosive force like Tyson.

      The rusty,inactive Ali that fought Frazier the first time wouldn't have beaten any great fighter that night.Against a great fighter,that Ali would have been beaten decisively and perhaps even stopped by a truly great puncher.It's a testament to how unremarkable Frazier was that the fight was as competitive and closely-fought as it was.

        Ali was floored by Henry Cooper left hook. Tyson is much better and has a much harder punch. Ali would get killed by Tyson.
        He also took a huge right hand straight on the chin from Earnie Shavers and didn't even blink. He was past his prime too.

        'Killing' Ali is not an easy task.

              Shavers has a punch and thats about it. Tyson was a great combination buncher and would be able to finish Ali of.

              Killing Ali isnt an easy task but this is Prime Tyson were talking about.

                  Great post. Tyson is better than Frazier in every possible way.

                    Marciano LOL. Who did he ever beat? If Spinks is a blown up LHW so is Marciano and everyone he ever fought.
