    So in other words you duckled out of answering the question.

    Here's another;
    How many world class opponents did Carpentier beat? Its afools game to make unsubstantiated claims such as, Carpentier was considered the greatest European fighter for many decades.
    Especially since those I have named operated with 2 decades of his career!

    Do I need to embarrass you again?

    One of the most understood aspects of Frazier’s career was that he was a slow starter. Literally dozens of references and more importantly no one close to the game would think otherwise. IT WAS WIDELY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD.

    Yout comments concerning this topic show you know little of that time period but more importantly don’t understand boxing terminology.

    Regarding Carp again it does not matter what any individual thinks of his paper record in 2019. However it means everything what those who watched him live and determined his level of greatness during his time a hundred or more years ago.

    Where are your quotes from the time Frazier was active that specifically state Frazier was not a slow starter?

    Do you care to share one reference to that "historical record:?

    And upon what basis would that estimation be judged? His record is paltry and rife with dubious bouts, bouts called dubious at the time.

    Google it! It’s history. Not something that can be summed up in a nice neat package. IBHOF calls Carp “perhaps the greatest European fighter ever”. That’s near 100 years after he fought Dempsey.

    “50 years at Ringside” 1958, page 91 “Carpentier was considered the best fighter that Europe had produced for some time”

    Now show all the references that state specifically from Fraziers time that he was not a slow starter.

    And that info has NOTHING to do with being a slow starter. None.
