I'm not saying that Chisora was better than Frazier. I do think Frazier was faster. Chisora was bigger and stronger. Both had a similar style....
It would have been interesting if Byrd and Spinks swapped eras. I think Byrd would have beaten and old version of Holmes and Tyson. Whereas I...
That is fair.
1970-1978 version. But I am not sure if 60s Ali could have dealt with Chisora either.
I like Chisora is this match-up. Hear me out. Vitali and Wlad were able to neutralise Frazier/Chisora's style, but Ali was unable to. Ali didn't...

I appreciate that you rate Byrd fairly. I would still have him a bit higher than you. Wlad and Vitali would have no issues with Frazier. Watch...

Byrd - One of the best pure boxers in history. Vitali - Best head to head heavyweight in history. Wlad - All-time top 5 heavyweight. Not quite...
I can assure you that I am 100% serious. I'm not a fan of Mesi, but the heavyweights of the 2000s get a bit overlooked. It was a golden age for...
Byrd would have beaten him. Perhaps Toney. But he was all wrong for Wlad in the mid 2000s. He would have beaten Rahman as well.
Just a reminder. Wlad lost to Saunders and Brewster around that time. Williamson and Peter also gave him problems. I think Mesi would have...
The late 1990s to mid 2000s was the golden age of heavyweight boxing. - Lewis - Vitali - Wlad - Byrd - Mesi - Ike - Tua - Ruiz -...
Vitali vs Byrd 1. VK 2. VK 3. Byrd 4. VK 5. Byrd 6. Byrd 7. VK 8. Byrd 9. Byrd. 86-85 to Byrd at time of stoppage. All the momentum was with Byrd.
