Tyson was far more elusive and punched from angles that the bigger men could not see. Tyson was a quality boxer, who punched with speed and venom. Totally different animal to Frasier.
Totally, I hate the Frazier/Tyson comparisons really. It's a lazy connection.
I agree.

They both had similar physical builds & they both moved their heads a lot, but apart from that, they're different beasts entirely.
The right comparison for Tyson is, of course, the man D'amato modeled him on. Dempsey.
