Great fighters who took rests, and the greats they would never beat as a result.

    Holyfield would lose to Frazier for this reason IMO, despite being more versatile.

    I agree that Frazier would beat Holyfield, my opinion is that Holyfield is a 'greater' HW, but Frazier doesnt give him a minute, and as tough as Holyfield is, he doesnt float like Ali, and he mixes it and fights a lot, this is not Tyson (another greater than Frazier imo, and one that would ko him), who is looking to land perfect combos, this is a swarmer.
