Frazier
Frazier beat a very fit, very tough and extremely clever Muhammad Ali. The only fighter who really hurt Joe Frazier was George Foreman. I do not see Tyson beating Frazier--and to they Tyson fans here, you are right, I may be wrong, for sure. But Frazier survived some of the toughest first six rounds in any heavyweight title fight ever, against Ali on March 8, 1971, and then Joe Frazier just kept coming on like Patton in France. I don't see Joe Frazier losing to the people that Tyson lost too, starting with Buster Douglas. Frazier knew how to throw to the body like no other heavyweight since Marciano. Again, I may be wrong, but I don't think Tyson would withstand Frazier's tenacity and his firepower. And remember, Frazier beat an extremely ready to fight and ready to win Muhammad Ali, and in no small part due to Frazier's great strategy for that fight, which Ali had not anticipated. So, high marks to Frazier there for ring generaliship, also. Great good luck to all,
cheers,
