Frazier didn't lose to Jesse Ferguson or Mike White. He didn't gas against Tony Tucker and he sure as hell did a better job of peeling himself off the mat and charging at a superior opponent than Buster did when they both suffered losses that cost them the championship.

Without the Ali win Frazier's record is a pile.

Buster fought much better opponents than Frazier over all, Tyson trumps Ali win and Foreman battered Frazier so that counts for nothing.

Ok energie that was a bit of a misleading statement.

Buster DID fight better opponents.

Frazier actually BEAT his opponents though.

I was rash here. Sorry.

Both have one of the greatest victories in boxing history on their resume, Frazier taking Ali's 0 and Douglas taking Tyson's 0, and both have been completely blown out of the water by the only other great heavyweight they faced (Foreman for Frazier and Holyfield for Douglas).

If you then look at each fighter resume you see that their top 5 wins are both pretty poor.

My own opinion is that Douglas has the greatest single victory by beating pre-prison and invincible Tyson, where as Fraziers victory over Ali was shadowed by Ali's 3 years in prison prior to the fight with Ali not the fighter he was prior to prison imo.

However Fraziers trilogy with Ali gives him a higher standing despite the 2 defeats and his top 5 victories are slightly better than Douglas' imo.

I rank Frazier slightly above Douglas because of this, who do you rank higher and why?

At first I thought this thread was abit of a troll/stupid but you make some good points, I would say frazier both in top 5 wins and by the boxers who beat him in comparison to douglas... A good thread.

Frazier. Beat Quarry, Ali, Foster, Chuvalo, Mathis, etc.

Douglas had some good wins like Tyson, McCall, and Berbick but it's nothing like Frazier's resume.
