    He's referred to as Bum Squad here in the UK.

    If Wilder works the uppercut...it might be so much for Frazier. I truly believe that Wilder has the punching power to stop Frazier. It's just the issue of correctly utilizing it.

    Frazier would likely jump on him and take Wilder out inside 6 rounds. That would be my pick.

    I'd hate to admit it, but Wilder could KO Frazier, if he lands the same bomb he always seems to vs lesser competition that is giving him a hard time.

    Consider that if this was 1972, that would be most people's pick for a hypothetical Frazier/Foreman fight.

    Frazier was a small heavyweight. I would pick Wilder believe it or not, if he fought a smart fight and watched the Foreman fight. Let Frazier fight the arms and catch him coming in. I am not sure Wilder has the experience to beat Frazier who was a top amateur.. That is my question. Experience.

    Yes but Foreman had crushing power in both hands,and a good variety of punchers,including uppercuts.

    Yep. thats my doubt too.
    To visualise the problem: Its seems to be absurd not picking a fighter with 39 KOs in 40 against the exact same fighter, who got terminated by a George making his killer reputation in 37 fights (34 KOs) with lesser fighters as well.
    And we know the "Frazier-power-problem" was not exeptional.
