Tyson vs Frazier?

The problem with this match up is that they both are going to be ducking hooks left and right, Tyson is the bigger and stronger man, and he's the only guy with an uppercut. It makes it difficult for Frazier biggest asset, his stamina, to even come into play if he's not even landing. We saw Buster Mathis jr try a Frazier on Tyson and he missed with just about every punch and got nailed with an uppercut.

I'm not convinced Frazier's chin was better than Mike's. Between 1985 and when Mike fought Lennox in what 2001/2002 Mike had been down just twice, one brutal multi punch KO from Buster Douglas and one glancing left hook from Holyfield in 45 odd fights! Very rarely staggered and absorbed some horrendous blows without even blinking in anything like his prime!
Whereas Frazier had been knocked down ten times or so between 1965 and 1976. These included the Bonavena knockdowns, and all eight or so Foreman knockdowns. Not to mention the comparatively light punching Ali staggering him in fights 2 and 3. All this in only 30 odd fights!
No comparison on the chin front for me.
