    Only a true elite could beat Chisora. Hope Ali can make the cut, he looks very fragile compared to Chisorus Rex.

    Wlad pulled out against Chisora a day before the fight was due to take place , remember that?. He should have gotten a draw against Sam Peter who was a poor mans version of Chisora.
    Wilder got a draw with 2 KDs against Fury so Peter definitely should have with 3, but Wlad at the time was the protected HBO house fighter so he got a lucky escape.
    If you ask me , HBO helped neutralize Sam Peter for him cos he wasn't good enough to do it himself. :drink:

    I'm not saying that Chisora was better than Frazier. I do think Frazier was faster. Chisora was bigger and stronger. Both had a similar style.

    Overall, I would rank them about the same. Given that Frazier gave Ali issues, it's only logical that Chisora would do the same.

    Given that Peters gave Klitschko a struggle , its only logical that Chisora would do that same. Perhaps thats why Klitscho pulled out?

    Advantages each fighter has over the other:

    Frazier:

    Speed
    Workrate
    Defense
    Endurance
    Accuracy
    Ring generalship
    Punch power

    Chisora:
    Modern™ fat

    That's why I am getting sick of these "fantasy fights" A guy like this doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Ali

    No, Ali is much better overall.

    But styles make fights. Frazier was nothing special, but gave Ali all sorts of issues. Norton is rated nowhere near as highly as Ali, but matched him over 3 fights.

    Maybe

    But I think Wlad and Vitali had that style figured out. Vitali certainly did.
