Frazier is a lot better than anyone Vitali ever beat. Vitali wouldn't be the best fighter Frazier ever beat. Frazier, far more proven fighter here.
I'm sure we had this thread not long ago anyway. I see it something like Frazier-Bugner.
Frazier would beat him up. Vitali would do well to last the distance, he might get stopped on cuts or quit.
I expect him to stop Wilder. But they have fought twice already and one of those times Fury did not stop him, so ....
He was rated highly at the time. Still, Lewis was the #1 contender with the WBC at the time, and when he was champion in 1997 Mercer's promoters...

Well, if Page was considered a far far tougher challenge, wouldn't that vindicate Holmes's demands for far more money ?
David Bey was rated #3 at the end of 1984 by Ring magazine. They had Pinklon Thomas #1 and Greg Page #2 (Bey had defeated Page a few months...
To be honest, I think negative press after he won the titles from Wladimir did effect him. Then, the media were all over AJ getting that IBF belt...
