Greatest Heavyweight Of All-Time, Quaterfinals: Mike Tyson vs. Joe Frazier

Vote up. Winner goes to the semi's

PRIME TYSON for Me

I think A prime Mike with his speed and power would have been a little too much for Joe

If it went past the 6th round, I think Joe would have broken Tyson's heart and ground him down ...... but Prime Tyson was an absolutely explosive starter and Joe was notoriously slow to warm up and get going. I think Tyson ambushes him and actually ends this one early.

Agreed.

I picked Mike. I would have to say an awesome matchup.

Again as with Johnson....Too much too strong too relentless....I take Tyson KO by 5

remeber wat happnd to spinx? yeah i pick tyson by ko, im not comparin frazier to spinx but dammit did u see wat tyson did to him

I can't decide ;D :-\

Frazier would win if he could get in middle rounds but Frazier got tagged too much and was slow starter i would say Tyson early.

Joe liked taking shots if it meant he could get to you and anybody Mike could lay a significant glove on he wiped out. Everything Joe had, Mike had in spades: speed, power & chin and Mike had good defense too. Evasive types who wrapped Mike up when he go too close were the ones who were problematic for him, not guys who liked to trade.

Mike in 2. It would have been on par with what Foreman did to him.
