Actually Frazier got tagged constantly against pretty much every contender he faced. Bonavena dropped him twice, Quarry was landing everything on...
His ring IQ is one of the best in HW history. Very hard to hit. The only thing is he often fights down to the level of his opposition. For that...
Who's the best fighter Vitali beat? Sanders? Gomez? Adamek? Peters? There's no career defining fight other than Lennox
Given his last 2 fights, where he did perform very poorly against Ortiz, Wilder's probably past prime at 34. He's lost twice to the best of this...

Nunn of the Tate fight was a phenomenon and beats most middleweights in history, Tiger included. That version of Nunn might beat Toney. I think...
I'd compare him more to Shavers although he's tougher than Shavers but the power is similarly staggering. I think there's a good case that Wilder...
