Big George would knock Tyson out about 2 minutes earlier than he knocked the living lights out of Smokin Joe. Tyson had a great great chin, but not as great as Joe Frazier.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I always used to think that Miles, but thinking about it. Apart from the height and aggressive style. There overall style isn't really alike, i mean Joe Frazier didn't really have good footwork and his defense wasn't like Mike Tyson's.
I remember when Mike Tyson made one guy miss, like 10 punches in a row then countered with a left hook to floor him that was great.
I mean a blown up Light Heavyweight Dwight Muhammad Qawi, held his own vs George Foreman who was short and had aggressive style. I mean you could also point out that fight aswell.

I know that everyone knows that the young Foreman was a deadly puncher, no doubt about it but he had one glaring weakness that his handlers were too lazy to work on. It was his endurance. I guess they were of the adage that if something isn't broke then don't fix it. The best muscle cars in the world need tuneups. George needed more coaching and more roadwork as depicted by the Ali loss. When George made his comeback his ability and not just his power even with all those fighters that didn't seem to have a chance with him served as a classroom until he won that coveted title. If he had the smarts he displayed as an older fighter in his youth, it would have been a long reign. One thing more, the guys at the top of the heavyweight division today have nothing on that young naive Foreman.
