If Fischer would played Karpov for the World Champion, who would win?

Ok, please outline for us the exact behavior Fischer exhibited between 1972-1975 that clearly indicates a diagnosis of his exact mental state and maladies...
The guy walked away from a match which would have earned prolly $300,000 to just the loser, easily.
NO SANE PERON DOES THIS. PERIOD.

Love of money is a form of insanity. Maybe Bobby was the only sane guy in the room.

Bobby Fischer not only walked away from a WC match, he walked away from EVERYTHING, period. He became a recluse.... I do not know what caused him to do this, but it certainly is not normal. Why not keep playing? why make it impossible to agree to conditions for a match?
Many years later, there was a proposed match between Bobby Fischer and Judit Polgar....through an incredible effort, Paul Benko secured a sponsor for 5 million dollars. What did Bobby do? He demanded 10 million...
Paul Benko asked him: "Bobby, isn't 5 million dollars enough for you to push some pieces on a chessboard?"

As I recall, he also demanded that he play black every game. (Judit wanted to play him even up.)
Kasparov in his book,How Life Imitates Chess; said of Karpov, he is lazy in preparing in the opening. Petrosian was looking at Karpov's Queen's Indian defense on move 9...Nc6 and told Karpov something is not right in this position; Karpov just ignore Petrosian and was crush by Korchnoi. If it was Kasparov, he would of look at the position until he would of found the error.
Even in 1994 when Karpov won a very strong tournament his rating was 2740 and he was 43 year old to Fischer' 2785 at 29. In 1975 Fischer would of beat Karpov.

This is from outside your 1972-1975 time frame... but if you can read this interview transcript and then claim that there is no sign of mental illness on Fischer's part... then I suggest that you book yourself a series of appointments.

So the guy doesn't pay taxes for 18 years, and they sieze his property.....
Gotta be a conspiracy. No other explaination there. Not one.
When it comes to preparing in the opening Fischer is known for his hard work and diligence. Opening specialist Geller above Fischer opening dispute and avoids mainline in the Ruy Lopez and get crush by Bobby.
Fischer plays in this Bled 1961 tournament without a lost, that is amazing amoung very strong opposition, for a 18 year American grandmaster.

Geller is not a good example- he had a lifetime plus score against Fischer- 5 wins to 3 losses, with 2 draws.

I believe it is excellent example,Karpov use Geller to help him prepare the opening; to beat Polugaevsky, Spassky and Korchnoi. Fischer was world champion not Geller. The last game Fischer beat Geller. And remember Fischer never beat Spassky before the world champion match but won it against Spassky, even with Geller helping Spassky in the opening.
Indeed mash. Farewell. I'd given many contributions to this thread. While you were just trolling. Goodbye.
