    Marvis,,,,,,,,,,good kid,

    Should have fought S.T. Gordon or Alfonzo Ratliff or Carlos De Leon for the
    Cruiserweight Title.

    He could have sweated off those last 10-pounds.

    Foolishly thrown in with Larry Holmes, just because he decisioned an old Joe Bugner.
    It was only about the $$$$$$$$.

    He would do ok,I dont think he would win a title but he would not be taken apart like he was by Tyson and Holmes by any of todays heavys.

    Marvis would be best HW in US and about # 7 Ring.

    I think he's way too small to compete in today's heavyweight division.

    Loses to the Klitschko brothers, competitive with anyone else. I think he would beat Chambers. He was a well-conditioned swarmer with good grasp on boxing technique, but obviously didn't match up well against the likes of Tyson. Holmes was simply too early for him, and Larry unleashed one of his best right hands that night.

    I actually see him outboxing Arreola as well, so long as he sticks with his boxing style and doesn't try to brawl with Arreola.

    :lol:

    Today's division has 2 natural Cruiserweights (Haye & Chambers), plus a natural Light Heavyweight (Adamek) in the top 10...

    Yes, from his performance against Bonecrusher (a very good puncher of limited skills), i think limited punchers like Arreola, plus the Sanders & Peter of a few years ago could be out-boxed by Marvis, unless they came out throwing all bombs. Then again, Bonecrusher would've smashed him (& most others!) too, if he'd started like he did in Witherspoon II.

    Marvis Frazier versus Floyd Patterson, in the new 'Rocketweight Division'.

    You must be under 195 lbs., and have been Knocked-out at least 'twice' in the
    1st Round by Heavyweights.

    Marvis Frazier ain't beating Thomas Adamek in a time machine. Adamek has fine boxing skill, good power for a dude 217 pounds and a solid beard.. Frazier would lose 7 outta 10 rds and drop the nod to Adamek... IMO!

    Imagine what was going through daddy Joe's head during those massacres at the hands of Holmes and Tyson.

    Bet he was wishing so bad he could turn the clock back and it was him in there instead of his son Swarm-****ing the boxer Holmes and outfighting Tyson with his 60lbs weight of heart advantage
