    They are not one entity.

    Prime Frazier might gut out a win but it wouldn't be a cakewalk. Prime Vitali beats prime Tyson imo.

    You realize you're talking about a 40 year old Vitali vs. a fighter in his prime?

    How would a 40 year old Frazier have done a against a prime Vitali? :lol:

    Vitali at age 39 was was averaging over 80 punches per round on the way to stopping Arreola and making him cry, what was Ali or Frazier doing at that age again? Yeah Vitali would fall to the canvas from exhaustion due to Frazier's workrate :patsch :rofl

    Fat does not create punching power. - And Chisora is proof.

    this is a joke, Frazier would dismantle Vitman and Chisora. Its not like the have have even half the power of Foreman between them.

    how can people not see that?

    These guys just can't handle the fact that a 40 year old Vitali beat Chisora with one hand.

    Frazier would walk through Vitalis jab whatever age he was, and Vitman isnt fast enough to run from him nor is he ever going to hit hard enough to hurt Frazier.

    Frazier KO Vitman before round 8 and KO CHisora round 5

    :rofl So now Frazier was more powerful than Lewis? Is that what you're saying? Cause Lewis landed many flush punches & he couldn't even knock Klitschko down.

    LOOL.

    Suggesting that Arreola is a great fighter.

    Vitali wouldn't, scratch that, either brother wouldn't survive during the golden ages of heavyweight boxing at Ali's prime before prison and after no way and even IF (big if) they would be around at best, as glorified journeymen.

    Buster Mathis weighed about the same as the Klitschko brothers - Frazier overpowered him and KO'd him. Not disregarding size but something to think about. Frazier was a buzzsaw.

    Foreman weighted less than Vitali and knocked the **** out of Frazier twice, dropping him a total of 8 times. Frazier looked like a ****ing journeyman in there. This was no accident. Styles make fights. Frazier looked good against technical guys like Ali who don't rely on punching power. Not against big guys who throw bombs from the outside.

    Frazier would get completely annihilated by any big modern-day heavyweight. Bowe, Lewis, Wlad, Vitali would all **** Frazier so one-sidedly it would make the Foreman fights look like friendly massage sessions.

    Even the mediocre-skilled but heavy-hitting tanks would destroy him like Sam Peter or David Tua simply because they can easily take Fraziers punches but Frazier's glass chin couldn't take a proper HW punch.

    Being taller and bigger can be a disadvantage. You would know this if you'd ever fought a smaller guy who knows how to make himself REALLY small and cut the ring off. It's hell.
