    Did you ever hear about the time a shot Evander Holyfield almost beat Lennox Lewis?

    Lewis looked like **** against Vitali.
    Frazier would have battered that version.

    Lewis via TKO. Lewis never struggled with small, come-forward, pressure fighters & he wouldn't with Frazier.

    I disagree. The Evander Holyfield Lewis beat had lost 1 step or 2. Frazier at his peak would would be even $ with a Peak Holyfield. He had too many miles by 1999.

    I raised my eyebrow at that as well. I doubt Lewis was as strong as Foreman or had enough confidence in his own chin to knockout Joe Frazier who was snorting fire in 1971.
    I could see Lewis winning a decision. This version were discussing may gas out though the way Frazier is going to force him to fight. It's a question mark. The way Lennox sat down after round 6. IDK it was his Thrilla in Manila. Had the fight continued who knows what he had let in the tank.

    you rate his defense better I do to but compared to any other areas joe is not close to lennox which is why he would lose

    lennox was a better outboxer then ali and better at using his size

    1971 Frazier was one of the best ever.
