    That we could of saw a little bit more from him?

    As in he only fought for... What... A decade?

    I know fighters like him don't usually have amazing longetivity... Marciano only fought for eight years, I believe.

    He accomplished enough to be considered an ATG, easily, of course.

    I just wonder sometimes. He had 37 fights... Wonder what else he could of done if his biggest fights weren't so taxing.

    Frazier gave a lot to boxing. He was a shooting star whose prime came and went relatively quickly.

    I do wish Frazier would have accepted the invitation to the WBA tournament to crown a champion. I also wish as champion he selected better title opponents than Daniels and Stander. The selection of these two as champion slightly diminished Frazier because there were far more worthy opponents, and he didn’t look great vs two B- type of contenders.

    I would have liked to have seen Frazier vs Shavers, Lyle, Norton, or Patterson.
