    I always thought of Frazier as a Buford SC guy???? Are you implying some type of bias...

    And what of their head to head result was a draw? Like the European Championships, you are going to need to publish the coefficient ratings...;)

    Good question,TBooze. A 'play off' would be necessary. As would befit any draws in the 'knockout' phases.

    I can't see a Frazier-Louis fight going all the way. More likely short and extremely sweet.

    Quarter final 4 - George Foreman KO5 Mike Tyson

    Semi-final 1 - Lennox Lewis MD Rocky Marciano
    Semii-final 2 - George Foreman KO6 Muhammad Ali

    I feel like I may have to explain my choice. This being a 67 Ali I feel was far too cocky for a prime George and would KO him. Ali didn't have the mental side of the game at this point in time

    Final - George Foreman KO4 Lennox Lewis

    Quarter final 2 - Dempsey vs Ali - Ali win KO 9 (Absolute schooling, tastes Dempsey's power once or twice so plays it safe early in the fight, overwhelms him in the 2nd half of the fight)

    Quarter final 3 - Tyson vs Holyfield - Holyfield clear Decision (Frustrates him, out fights him, only prime Tyson sees the final bell)

    Quarter final 4 - Frazier vs Vitali - Frazier close Decision (shaky, messy brawl of a fight, Frazier suffers a knockdown, comes on strong at the end)


    Semi-final 1 - Liston vs Holyfield - Holyfield win TKO 10 (Holyfield takes the fight right to him in close quarters, is stunned several times in the early rounds but manages to hold and recover. Holyfield spoils and grinds and wears Liston with consistent pressure throughout the fight. Liston has no plan B once tired, is taking punishment and quits in the 10th)

    Semii-final 2 - Frazier vs Ali - Frazier win Majority Decision - Ali taunts Frazier before the opening bell, Frazier be mad as hell. Frazier relentlessly swarm-****s him from the opening bell, prime Ali is able to elude him with moderate success in the first half of the fight and catch him coming in, but the pressure is relentless. In the 2nd half of the fight Frazier steps up a gear whilst Ali is noticably tired, yet fights back defiantly turning Frazier's face to mush, but takes serious punishment to the body and comes off worst in the majority of exchanges.

    FINAL - Frazier vs Holyfield - Frazier win Split Decision - 15 rounds of trench warfare with both fighters beaten to a pulp but showing no sign at any point of relenting. The first 10 rounds are split, Frazier takes over in the last five, though a proud Holyfield continues to engage head on against better judgement from his corner.

    Joe ****ing Frazier is the winner
