    He would beat all of them in one-offs but back to back I dunno, it's a tough schedule for anyone.

    Ron Lyle and Tua would maybe win!They are very strong!
    Morrison bad stamina and chin would get him killed!
    Same thing for others in that list!

    Each fight is separated and both fighers are at their best? Frazier beats them all. I wouldn't try to manage my fighter through such a tough schedule though.

    Obviously he is not fighting them in a row.

    I can see your point.

    Personally, I think Ruddock and Cooney are too reliant on their left hands. I don't think they could bother Frazier with their right. Yes, Frazier himself was reliant on his left but he had endless stamina and heart. I don't see Frazier losing to either of them.

    Morrison had a good right in addition to a killer left but he was too weak chinned to beat Frazier. He could dominate Frazier for a few rounds but lose energy and Frazier would ko him.

    Shavers is a huge hitter but his chin is too weak vs Frazier.

    I could see Tua and Lyle having a shot. Lyle was slightly less powerful than Foreman. Tua had a cast iron chin. I would favour Frazier to beat both but I could see either of those guys causing an upset.
