    I'm assured. Ig if you read it to fast, he said Foreman and Norton, and then Holyfield. My brain was still stuck on Norton.

    I wonder if he does think Norton was tough, probably not.

    Holyfield by wide decision or late ko, he’s all round way better than Frazier. All Frazier really did was beat a past it Ali

    This is fair point, although I'd say that Holyfield's power edge is related more to his style than physical advantage. Ali rarely put full body behind his punches.

    True, Ali punched while up on his toes,when he set himself to punch he got your attention!

    The division wasn’t stacked at the time. The best opponent he beat was jerry quarry who lost every time he stepped up

    Because he lost to Frazier and Ali?
    Besides, Frazier beat plenty of top contenders - Bonavena, Ellis, Quarry, Mathis, Bugner and others.

    Ellis was already past his prime and everyone else besides quarry really wasn’t that good.
    No way Frazier beats Holyfield

    A young strong Evander was in a life and death 15 round struggle with Dwight Qawi,,,,so you think he's going to go to war with Smokin Joe Frazier and take him out? Interesting.......

    Bonavena was elite contender and Ellis definitely wasn't past his prime.
