Ali just abuses him in that fight
And thats the old Ali
Ali would destroy Tyson
Totally disagree Tyson has better defense than Frazier, puts combos together, etc. Frazier has bigger heart. But to say Frazier is superior fighter is way off the mark IMO.
Tyson had a terrible defense,it was two hands high at all times with no nuance what so ever
With the variation of the Philly crab that Frazier fought in you could change it up,two hand high your stuck,which is why when Tysons foot speed was shot,so was he. That guards relatively easy to beat
