    Who do you think wins? I predict an all out slugfest, with it going many rounds before it is stopped.

    I choose a 9th round TKO for Frazier (for today at least)

    Im a Frazier fan but I think Tyson ends this early.
    Joe usually took a few rounds to warm up, and Tyson has more first round k.o's than any heavyweight bar Dempsey, so needless to say Mike was a monster in the early stages.

    Foreman showed that Frazier could be timed and caught early and I think Joes swarming style plays right into Tysons hands, with Tyson plastering Joe with ferocious combos as Frazier keeps pressing forward

    I think this would be a Hearns - Hagler type fight, an absolute war with Tyson K.o'ing Frazier in the 3 - 4 round.

    If early, I think it's rd 1 or 2. The more it goes on, the more Frazier gets encouraged and Tyson, discouraged! Tyson at peak can go 12 rds at a decent pace and is as physically strong as Joe.

    Joe ain't ending this with one shot. Tyson's beard was very good. He has to wear Tyson down, and to do so, he also has to take some whoppers. This has to affect his own offense. I used to think Joe could do it, but lately I feel that Tyson's power will be too much, especially the flush shots, and uppercuts.
