#3 Tyson was a combination concussive puncher and had the ability in his prime to put 4-5 combos together and had terrific footwork and could close the distance as good as most welterweights cause of his coordination and athleticism... Frazier was as graceful as a Hippo and lacked even the smidge of the footwork Tyson had.

I will say this, unless this fight takes place PRE-PRISON and got to be around the 9th round I dont think Tyson could hold it together mentally he might quit.

This is gonna sound like a farce but Tyson could absorb 10 fights worth of punishment in the 1st 7 rounds and still stand and fight with all the heart in the world, but around 9-10th round unless he KO's George Mike would pack it in

Tyson Tko by round 6
#1 if Frazier's handspeed was so limited I guess Ali wasn't all that fast....besides it's the PRESSURE Joe applied that resembles Tyson's style


#2 Frazier bobbed up and down....good for missing hooks, bad for missing uppercuts.....Tyson went side to side and at times tried to tie up on the inside (yes even in his freaking Prime he had spells where he did nothing on the inside) It didn't matter where Tyson ducked because Foreman used his extended arms to push his opponent into place and then unload.....DODGE A PUSH and maybe you'll have a chance at dodging the punch but since he'd be off balance to begin with then countering would be impossible.

#3 Tyson threw combinations but I just can't see George sitting there and eating those up without doing something about it.


You say Tyson could stop George with speed but honestly Mike Tyson never saw ANYONE close to the talents of George Foreman whereas Foreman fought in the best era ever and totally demolished a fighter with a somewhat similar style and with TWICE the heart of Mike Tyson.





How was Frazier similar to Tyson....he applied pressure, he had massive power, he had a very good chin.

How was he different....Frazier looked to land 1-2 punches....Tyson could do that but also 3-4 punches at times....don't act like ALL Tyson did was throw combos, he threw 1 at a time a lot as well but the point is he was a better combination puncher. Frazier's defense was a cross block/shell with head movement up and down Tyson's defense was a peek-a-boo with side to side headmovement......would that matter? Probably not because George just aimed to hit you it didn't matter where....but go on believing in the Mike 'The Perfect Fighter' Tyson.


FYI Tyson fans.....Mike Tyson didn't just lose because he stopped training, sure it didn't help vs Douglas but HONESTLY would a well trained Tyson have beaten him If you believe that you're just dillusional and probably still thinking "if only Kevin Rooney trained Tyson he could still win a title"
