    i don't know why people question tyson's heart and toughness so much.

    tyson was plenty tough.

    tyson might have been a front running bully that got discouraged a little in tough fights but he was no quitter either.

    to beat tyson , you had to beat him up bad. even in losing efforts tyson kept trying even if what he was trying wasn't working.

      people listen to teddy atlas' bull**** too much about tyson.

      as we all know teddy can be full of **** at times and it's not like he had the best relationship with tyson to be impartial.

        Frazier = poor mans Tyson. Tyson in his prime was faster and punched harder. Frazer did have similar style but looked like a ****** some times

        I also think that Tyson on hist best day could defeat anyone. I don't think he would have had problems with Ali either. Ali would have gotten instant parkinson after battle with Tyson. But a big guy like Lewis....?

          Fraizer is the greater fighter but Tyson would beat him.

            Man I feel you. I think Tyson had a better chin than Fraizer, but I think Tyson can be much more discouraged than Fraizer. Tyson had heart, but Fraizer had very great heart.
            If Big George knocked Tyson down, I don't know how many times he would have gotten up

              tyson wouldn't have gone down as easily as frazier did.

                I agree and I think Tyson may have even beaten Fraizer also, but Fraizer just has those intangibles that make him great

                  Prime Tyson could and would KO Frazier. It wasn't like Frazier was any good at getting out of the way of punches... Tyson was, and Frazier's looping, methodical left hook would miss every time. And Frazier really wasn't much of a power puncher himself.

                  Tyson by KO... It'll take longer than it took George Foreman, but it'll happen.

                  If not by KO, than definitely by UD as his face will probably be all swelled up from all the clean punches he'd be eating, which would affect his ability to work, no doubt.

                      Prime Tyson could have been beaten only by a prime Ali, no one else IMO.
