    I think this would be great... both show so much heart and both have good chins. Evander has the better skills but Frasier was one of thebest pressure fighters... would be brutal either way with neither man backing down... i would have to say Frasier takes this but Evander would put up a hell of a fight

    I think Holyfield was the more versatile fighter, butI also agree that Frazier is a bad matchup for him, as Holyfield was far from the most difficult fighter to lure into a war, and Frazier was all about war. I have Joe winning a closely contested, action packed fight over 15 due to his greater stamina and more consistent workrate.

    It would be an exciting fight. I've seen Holyfield hurt or bothered just too many times from body punches to think that he'd beat Frazier, who was relentless to the body.

    It would've been one of the most brutal fights in the history of the sport.
