Yes, Tyson was ill prepared and off form that night. But Douglas - albeit only for one night - looked world class. How would he have faired against these two legends - based on the night they won the title.

Frazier who beat Jimmy Ellis would be too relentless for Douglas, although Buster may lead after a few rounds, but ultimately, Frazier's ripping body attacks would cause damage & slow Buster down!

Agreed.

Douglas wouldn't have time to breathe.

The night Douglas beat Tyson, he was definitely the best he was ever going to be or ever had been. But still Frazier and Marciano were not the kind of guys who would've been under prepared like Tyson, they would've been 100% ready and although I think Douglas would've been capable of giving both men a hard time of it for at least 6 or 7 rounds. I think both Marciano and Frazier would slow him down and stop him late.

Douglas would have had his ass handed to him. Douglas put it all together only one time in his career and that tells me his big moment was not all about how good he was on the night but also a lot about how messed up Tyson was.

The Buster Douglas that beat Tyson vs Marciano:
Marciano got stronger as fights went on, Rocky still has knockout power in both fists come Round 12, and as such he would stop Douglas in the 10th or 11 th round.
The Buster Douglas that beat Tyson vs Frazier:
I think this fight would end even quicker than the above fight... Frazier's left hooks had to put much for Douglas, and Buster would have been KO'd somewhere in the mid rounds.
