Well #1 Foreman had to defend his title vs ALI...Tyson would have lost to him too #2 76 wins 68 KO's while suffering 5 losses and only 1 by KO is consistent in my opinion. Tyson was consistent as well, ALL of Tyson's losses are by KO #3 Joe Frazier had head movement similar to Tyson's...Frazier moved more up and down (which Tyson did on occasion) and Tyson was more side to side but they were both there infront of everyone to be hit. Tyson wasn't so much of a defensive wizard as the guys he fought were afraid to throw punches because they would be countered. As for offense Tyson was very similar to Joe Frazier...add in an uppercut and an overhand right and Joe Frazier IS Mike Tyson. Joe's mental toughness was second to none which is also why him losing in 2 rounds to Foreman was amazing.

Foreman was still able to be champion at 45 years old after learning a new style and changing his whole personality....he was a totally different fighter in his second try at it....and that guy was smart enough to beat Tyson....the Prime Foreman was just tough enough to beat Tyson.
