Probably so, considering Wlad would have been 19 at that time, with zero professional fights to his name.
Ya'll are gettin this all twisted up. Just because Frazier beats Wlad, doesn't mean that every great fighter in history beats Wlad. It's about match ups. Frazier has the tools to beat Wlad. I don't see what's so hard about that to understand.
Frazier has been knocked down 10 times in his career - 2 of which were from oscar bonavena who weighed 205 pounds (who is smaller than chris byrd). The first knock down had Frazier real wobbly. I was trying to find the standing 8 count by a guy named Mike Bruce (a 199 lb fighter), but couldn't find it. I can't imagine Wlad hitting Frazier w/ a straight right like Bonavena did and Wlad not laying him out.
The one dimensional Frazier is too small and weak to be competetive against a Klitschko. Frazier is tailor made for the Klitschkos. Either Klitschko destroys Frazier.
He's tailor made for Wlad, a guy that has no uppercut, and can't fight in the inside, and has been down 11 times by bums? Why?
Wlad landed a lot of beautiful powerful uppercuts against Peter. Wlad hasn't been down or hurt in over 5 years. He hasn't lost a single round in 5 years YOU FAIL AGAIN *****
You mean the uppercuts he didn't start throwing until about the 8th round, with every single one except for maybe 2 that landed, and he left himself WIDE open? If you want to laugh, you should watch Wlad throw uppercuts against Ibriganov. You'll think, what the **** was he punchin at? A skilled opponent, AKA, not Peter would have capitalized. Guess what, Frazier is a skilled opponent. And that was ONE ugly uppercut that he hit Peter with. And you do realize that Foreman started throwing uppercuts IMMEDIATELLY in his fight with Frazier. Wlad is too scared to throw uppercuts right away because he throws them which such bad form which leaves him completely open, and exposes his very weak chin. The chin that has let him down 11 times by mediocre fighters.
