    I disagree totally. Haye and Peter are the two that stand the best chance.

    There are 2 ways to beat Frazier. Blast him out a la Foreman or have ungodly endurance like Ali. None of the top 10 could do what Ali did. Haye and Peter MIGHT get a big shot in early. Wlad would **** his pants like the anorchic fairy he is as Frazier would just roll in under his jab and finish the fight with fast, most likely with a short left hook from inside.

    2 guys have and outside chance. Slim has left town for the others.

    I think Frazier beats them all, with Wlad being the hardest fight clearly.

    bang on ! I like Vlad but when the first bell rings and Frazier starts stalking towards him, his bottle crashes ! Frazier destroys him before the 4th !

    Chagaev is actually the only one I would give a shot to , doesn't do anything spectacular but he is tough enough and a good enough boxer to get by Joe in 12 ( 15 might be a different matter ! )

    He beats them all by TKO/KO... Vitali Klitschko is another story, but I think he wins that one as well...

    I think Joe dominates todays HW division, and beats all the fighters u mentioned. The only one i see that could give him real trouble is Vitali Klitschko, but hwe havent seen if he is able to perform at the high level again. I think Wlad would be overwhelmed easily by Fraizer slipping and countering style.

    Joe Frazier would likely have to fight at Cruiserweight today and would likely be champ there. At most he was 205 and at 5'11 he would just be too small. Vlad and Peters give him one clean shot and its over. The heavyweight division today should be reclassified into Super Heavy cutoff around 225 lbs

    The guy is 10 pounds lighter than Tyson was when he smashed Biggs. He's the same height. So this is patently bull****.

    Bud, the last thing we need is another four Heavyweight champions, and I mean the LAST. In the meantime, Chagaev beat Valuev who outweighed him by...can't be arsed doing the sum, but you get the point.

    I would guess that he would lose badly to both Klitschkos and perhaps some other heavyweights like Peter.

    Saying the Klitschko brothers beat Frazier is fine. You'd have a valid argument. But I don't see how Peter has much of a chance. He's not a slugger who will stand his ground and time Frazier with an uppercut coming in. He's more of a boxer puncher who sets things up off of his jab. Combine this with his leaky defense, questionable stamina, and lack of in-fighting skills, and this looks to be a short night for him.

    There is no evidence either way.

    No debate.

    No argument.

    Mere opinion.
