Do you think Frazier could have beat Vitali or Wladmir?

    Prime Frazier, 1967-1970 KO's both Klitschko Brothers inside 8 rounds. They wouldn't be able to handle his pressure, pace and body attack. Frazier is a slow starter? What? Sure, when compared to Ali.

    Both Klitschko Brothers probably have a better than solid chance at beating the 1973, over confident, overweight, out of shape version of Joe Frazier that Foreman manhandled in two rounds. I don't think they have the finishing power or killer instinct that Foreman brought to the fight against Frazier, so I doubt that either Klitschko could KO this Frazier within two rounds.

    VITALI Klitschko could potentially pose a problem for Frazier.

    I recall that when Frazier fought big heavyweights (Buster Mathis)
    and strong heavyweights (Bonavena), Frazier was extended and
    was in tough fights.

    Vitali hits much harder than Mathis, is taller and uses his height to
    the maximum advantage. If Vitali were to start landing his right
    hand often, he could possibly upset Frazier.

    Frazier was very good friends with Mathis. Pretty sure he wasn't trying to decapitate him like he was Ali.
