    No, never. Frazier would be pretty insistent with the left hook, though. I'd go with a Frazier UD in which he has a good margin on points, but looks the worse at the end.

    The 46 years old version of Holyfield? That's the one you're referring to as "so good it's ridiculous to even compare with Frazier"? You can point fingers all you want, you're still the only one looking stupid.

    Holyfield was beyond shot. Even though modern training, sports medicine, and...er..."supplements" have extended athletes' shelf lives, Holyfield was far, far past it when he faced Valuev. He only remained remotely competitive because he'd been so good in his prime.

    Even aside from age, Evander had absorbed metric tonnes of leather by the time Valuev got him. His speech was badly slurred, and his reflexes were gone.
