    Tyson gets KO'd by Liston very early, Foreman the same ( look what George did to Joe Frazier) Frazier beats Tyson and Ali toys with him.

    Tyson would do more than make Ali cry about his eyes between rounds and when he decked him like Banks, Cooper, Frazier and Wepner did, hed tear him up.

    George would be splattered like Lyle did, only Tyson wouldnt tire.

    Frazier just gets hit too much to have any prayer with someone the speed of Tyson, who was faster than Ali, try getting Ali to put as much force in his punches and see if hes still as quick.

    Ali, no one can say either way because I believe Ali and Tyson have showed at the height of their careers that they have too much for anyone with major flaws.

    If you get hit too much you deffinitly dont hear the final bell against the young Tyson.

    Ali would outbox Tyson's head off, Mike would maybe have scored a knockdown but Ali would get right up and continue busting him up making Tyson frustrated and quit by the 8th

    Foreman would use his size and weight and force Mike back, Tyson is one of the hardest punchers in the division, but IMO big George IS the hardest punching HW ever, he'd throw that heavy jab and keep Tyson at bay, blocking off any of Mike's shot's upstairs with his cross armed defense, and eventually would land enough big right hands to keep Tyson down

    Tyson/Frazier would be the closest of the 3, and still Frazier was so relentless i don't think Tyson would be able to impose himself on Joe, he'd rock him, but he'd pull himself together and give as good as he could get

    Mike barely could go 12 no way in hell he'd make it 15 especially against the likes of Ali, Foreman, or Frazier

    What are you on about now?

    Mike had excellent stamina when he was young, he sparred 15 rounds a day against 3 or 4 different partners, he was extremly fit and always put alot of effort in his fights which is why he was such a massive hit in the Eighties and still now, people loved that he tried his hardest to hurt someone and had the physical capabilities to make massive 18 stone men quiver like little girls.

    Mike had the possibilities of beating every fighter that ever lived, he was that good, you wouldnt bet your house that any fighter could deffinitly beat Mike, he had such speed and power he could have dropped em at any point, even against Douglas when he was getting beat and was knackered he pulled out a knockdown that had it happened earlier in the round he could well have stopped Buster.

    could have, should have, would have doesn't mean shit, he was also rocked by lesser opponents like Pinklon Thomas and Tony Tucker

    and are you kidding me, if Tyson wasn't having his way with a guy or if the guy didn't fear his ass Tyson was done by round 6, Holyfield I case and point, and i can guarantee you that neither Ali, Foreman, and much less Frazier would have feared or been intimidated by Tyson
