    maybe not invincible but the frazier that fought ali the first time would have worn down all but the very best fighters in their very best form.. i read a quote that said frazier didnt care if ali had brought a gun, he was in there to do a job. Another quote i like about frazier is that not only was he in the fight of the century, he won it too.... says it all really...

    Charles would be my pick too but I also think Archie Moore, Bob Fitzsimmons and Sam Langford would get the job done. Mickey Walker would have a shot, also he wouldn´t be favourite.

    Nah, I´m a big Hopkins fan but he wasn´t unbeatable. Monzon would be favourite against him - I´d love to see this fight - Hagler has a good shot - but Hopkins would be favourite, better outside game, footwork and more crafty - and Robinson has a good shot as well. Than there are fighters like Cerdan or Giardello who have a good shot despite beeing not as great.

    I´d pick quite a few over him, especially Ali, Holmes, Lewis but also Walcott, Johnson and Louis.

    Good call. I don´t think he´s invincible but I can´t think of a flyweight who´d beat him but then flyweight isn´t really my speciality.

    Against what opposition? You could say the same about Michael Moorer or Michael Spinks at lhw. But no. Those are beatable. very beatable in fact.

    Since I think he lost to Hopkins you are right.

    Who said anything about stopping, I was talking about beating. And he was far from invincible. Blasting out average, mediocre opposition and looking good does not mean you stand a chance against real greats.
