    I can't see Fraizer winning this one. Tyson does what Foreman did to him

    not really, Tyson didn't have to reach or size to trouble Frazier like Foreman did, this would have been one of the rare occasions that Frazier would finally be fighting a man his actual size in terms of height and reach, I'm not saying that Tyson wouldn't be able to win, it just wouldn't be a blow out like Foreman/Frazier I & II were, it would be a telephone booth fight, and the question would be who would land cleanly first, Frazier with the left hook? or Tyson with the uppercut?, seeing how Frazier's stamina lasted for days I would lean slightly in his favor

    I hate to say it but I think Frazier stops Tyson late

    Tyson was not as physically imposing as Foreman. Big George used distance and reach to rain bombs down on Joe....Tyson would have to get in close and that big overhand right of Tyson's would be slower than Joe's hook or underrated right cross.

    The power difference between Frazier and Foreman was described (by I think it was Chuck Wepner) as "Being hit by Frazier was like being hit by a Pontiac going 100 miles an hour and being hit by Foreman was like being hit by a Mac Truck going 50 miles an hour"

    I personally think Frazier-Bowe or Frazier-Holyfield would have been EPIC battles, the style match ups were perfect.

    Holyfield-Frazier would have been both men deadlocked in the middle of the ring leaning in and wailing short hooks on one another would have been insane!

    Seriously? Tyson had some of the fastest hands in heavyweight history. I don't see Frazier having a speed advantage over Tyson at all.
