    Im curiouse on oppinions of Frazier against Walcott & Charles.
    I believe he would get to both late for stoppages but could change my mind tomorrow on that.

    Both of these guys get broken down every time. Walcott and Charles do not have serious chances IMO. I don't think they can win on points, and I think they struggle to avoid knockouts.

    Yea the more I think of a prime Frazier the shorter these bouts last.

    Prime Frazier KO's them both. They don't have the durability to outlast his attack and would get broken down.

    I think Frazier wins... Both those men bore the types of profiles that Frazier typically troubled or beat..

    Tell you boys what though - Walcott v Frazier would be amazing. Fast pressure versus some of the best footwork you will ever see. You would never tire of watching that one.

    Walcott could bang, and Frazier was not hard to hit, I'd go with Walcott. Better all around.

    I trained at his gym a long time ago what a puncher when he went at the bag occasionally.

    Frazier should defeat them both, but I agree that Walcott is the one who is gonna give him a lot of troubles

    The man was something other, something again. He mastered certain skills in a way they've never been mastered by anyone at the weight...I consider him highly skilled, often overlooked. Anyway, here's the left hok highlight for anyone who has missed it:
