Tyson. I've been watching his fights on YouTube lately. He's in a different class. Frazier had that hook but Tyson was just so fast to the first punch I don't think Frazier would even get to try it.

I hope you mean Smokin' Joe and not Marvis because we saw what happened to Marvis.
Smokin' Joe hangs in for a decision or late TKO. He frustrates Tyson who never really got pressed by a good fighter in his heyday. Mitch Green hung in but was middling. Holmes was an old man. Thomas and Biggs weren't great fighters.

I met Joe Frazier once. It was like shaking hands with a catcher's mitt full of lead plates. Tyson by early KO, Frazier if it goes past 3.

Frazier had that up and down head bob that made connection difficult.

In my best Howard voice, "Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!"
Tyson was the pitbull of fighting (not boxing). A street fighter who wanted to kill you. Frazier was a boxer. No contest.
Apples and oranges, with the possible exception of Ali who had the ability to outbox a fighter...in his prime.

Tyson at his best was so fast and so vicious that he would be hard for anyone to beat. Ali was fast enough to avoid him, maybe. Not Frazier.

Tyson in his prime delivered punishment that ROCKED his opponents. (early and often) Providing Tyson had Cus D'Amato in the corner, which he did in his prime, he was a force of nature.
Frazier delivered punishment while taking a beating...and he could take a beating.
Taking a beating from Tyson was not a sustainable nor sane gameplan.

Tyson in his prime is hard to beat

The smartest thing Tyson ever said was; "Everyone has a plan, until they get hit." When Tyson hit you, you stayed hit. Rod

Tyson in his prime was a monster. He was all heart and focus, and humble. No hype, no bluster, just opening bell starting the seek and destroy synapse. Don King ruined Iron Mike.
