A great imo. He had it all maybe minus an iron chin. He has some poor losses but most greats do. He was probably a little small for 154 too, may...
He wouldn't make it past amateur level, boxing had moved on too much for him. Nearly every top pro would absolutely shut him out or knock him out.
Tyson would KTFO of Frazier within 3 rounds, maybe in the first. Too much speed and power for Frazier's leaky defense.
Whitaker was more dominant and consistent for longer, Duran has the better win and more exciting wins but embarrassing losses nearer his prime....
Yet Wills easily won every minute of every round. You seem to be missing something here.

Wills changed in his career from an exciting to a defensive boxer puncher with rough house tactics in his later 30s. In his first or second fight...
He wouldn't, he's not good enough. Bring out the Holyfield and Douglas comparisons but Louis was much more limited with his footwork and jab....
I hate to say it as an Ali fan but Wlad would outjab him. It would be competitive ofcourse with Ali's speed and movement. Then again Ali would...
No he wasn't, Wills absolutely dominated him for near every second of their bouts bar some couragous come from behind KOs as did Jack Johnson...
In the real world Langford got dominated by Wills and Johnson and then boxing moved on with greater participation in the 30s and 40s.
I take it you have no issue with Panama Lewis?
You wouldn't have near the same impact damage with larger gloves, there's an argument that a concussion is the same though, personally I don't...
Sharkey isn't really the guy you pick to rise to the occasion. It's like putting a talented Zab Judah in with Hagler
Hard to say, high workrate, speed, workrate and very hard to hit. From the tiny amount of footage we can guess he led with the jab, 1-2s and...
