Two tanks collide. No backwards movement in this fight of sluggers! Joe could knock down a brick wall with his left hook and Tyson also had awesome power. I believe this would be a fight of wills, guts and determination and nobody had it more than Smoking Joe. Joe defeated Muhammad Ali and gave him trouble the other times and beat guys like Ellis, Bonavena, Quarry, Chuvalo and the likes while Mike never beat a truly great fighter losing to Lewis and Holyfield although he beat Holmes who was past his prime and Michael Spinks who was terrified! This fight could go either way but I believe Smoking Joe would survive Tysons punches land some hard left hooks and take Mike out by the 7th round of a very exciting fight.

In their prime years, Tyson would beat Frazier, unless Frazier bites ears too! But if they got into the ring now, Tyson is a mess,
physically and mentally and Smokin' Joe too old.

George Foreman beat Joe Frazier, which set up Ali-Foreman (The Rumble in the Jungle), and had that memorable call from Howard Cosell: "Down Goes Frazier!"
If Foreman can beat Frazier, so could Tyson.

If Tyson was in his prime, down goes Frazier!, otherwise Iron Mike would go down.

I think the only boxer that could had beat Tyson in his best moment was Mohammed Ali,
Joe Frazier? i don't think so

all props to smokin' joe, but iron mike was too big, too fast, and had more in his arsenal. he didn't have the style to defeat tyson. mike would've bounced him off the canvas, much like foreman did w/uppercuts(very effective against frazier), but frazier probably would've lasted almost as long - foreman admitted to being terrified to fight frazier, but he warmed up pretty quick, didn't he? joe had a haymaker left hook but so did mike and tyson was hard to hit, as was he. had these two met, i gotta go w/mike, bec damato would've had mike in great shape to neutralize frazier's left hook and w/o that, he would've been defenseless. mike by early ko - but probably 2-3 very exciting rounds!

If they were both in their prime Mike Tyson would win by TKO

Tyson. Isn't Frazier too old to box?

Both in their prime, Frazier. He beat Ali, albeit only once.
