Wlad can't fight. Prime Frazier was an animal and he COULD fight. A lightning quick whipping left hook ends the bout in round six.
Wlad has an all-time jab, cross and hook. He was also way up there in ring pound for pound rankings and dominated score cards in his prime like few could. Wlad according to many trainers is very talented, and won the super heavyweight gold at age 20! Wlad can't fight you say? atsch
Frazier would maul him to a 6th round KO probably set up by a body shot, Wlad had trouble when Samuel Peter was moving his head for 2 rounds.
Wlad never fought a great fighter. Frazier past his prime beat Ali. Frazier as well asAli, Louis, Marciano all take out Wlad. Very limited abilities as a fighter and every time he was taken deep he came up short.
Wlad hits too hard and has too good a control of range for Frazier to bother him. With a ref who penalises holding he might have a lot more success but if Wlad let's his hands go he could bomb Joe out. I'd favour Frazier over Fury though, no danger.
27 doesn't sound so ridiculous when you consider Frazier's style. I think I'd side with Wlad. Frazier does pose a threat. His head movement should be able to frustrate Wlad, avoid a lot of his jabs and his advantages in stamina and speed could see him crack Wlad's chin. But someone that plays to there strengths as well as Wladimir should be able to control the much smaller man for the most part ... Wlad's cautiousness is at times criticised, it should do him a fair few favours facing Frazier.
