    I rate Joe Frazier higher than about 98% of fighters from the past 30 years. But that said he might lose to more people than one might think. For as great as he was, his style was very physical and required an extremely high work rate . These things might work against him when facing the kind of physically big and hard hitting men he’d be up against between 1990 to 2020

    I picked these guys as POTENTIALLY beating Frazier, but not CERTAINLY. Frazier has a chance against all of them and any top heavyweight in the 90s. I'd pick him to beat: Morrison, Mercer, Moorer, Bruno, Douglas, McCall, Tua, Golata, Briggs...

    I would be interested to see how Joe handles Wilders power. But Wilder would have to throw more uppercuts

    Can not understand people picking Vitali to beat Joe.Who did he beat to warrant such opinions? He got beat by Chris Byrd for heavens sake!

    He lost to Byrd but he wasn’t beat by Byrd, this doesn’t support Vitali’s case much at all and that isn’t my agenda but saying Byrd beat him when he was losing on all the cards is silly to mention in a H2H discussion as that fight proved nothing.

    I want to make sure I'm understanding you.

    -Are you saying Frazier wouldn't be a top 10 heavyweight if he was born in today's era?

    -Or are you saying you don't think Frazier was good enough to even get a top 10 ranking in today's watered down era with 4 sanctioning bodies...?

    Ike literally only had 2 world class opponents (some people saw the Tua fight as a draw or even a loss) and his career got cut short. Pretty generous to assume he'd beat Frazier. I know he was strong and durable but he never really got a chance to prove himself.

    Povetkin did not have the best chin and would be right in front of Frazier all night (couldn't fight backing up). He has a good hook but trading hooks with Frazier sounds like suicide. His flabby gut would be a delicious target for Frazier's body punching. I don't see how you could possibly see this as being an easy win for Povetkin.
