    Of course he was when facing fighters with great bobbing and weaving abilities like Peter and Arreola. :roll: They're not exactly hard to land punches on.

    1) Vitali is 40 years old.

    2) Vitali was injured.

    3) Chisora is bigger than Frazier.

    Imagine a 40 year old Frazier against a prime Vitali, or even against Chisora.

    Oh wait, Frazier retired at 32.

    Welcome to planet ESB. Where the past boxers of the 70's and 80's would always "feast" "have their way" "demolish" the best heavies of today despite being 30-40 pounds lighter and giving up 4-6 inches in height. :patsch :patsch :nut :nut

    Because the Heavyweighs of today are the product of a shallow talent pool. Where a lack of conditioning, excess bodyweight consisting of FAT and muscle that is far from functional is the norm. Once guys start getting over 200 pounds skills, speed, and power can offset sheer size. There is a limitation to how much of your size you can impose on your oponent in boxing. You are using your hands primarily. Does anyone think Chisora cracks harder than Sonny Liston for example? Is stronger than Sonny Liston? The ripped and lean Sonny who was about 215 pounds in his prime yet had a huge thick frame. His bone structure was enormous and thats what matters. Evander Holyfield who was naturally a cruiser was competitive against the likes of a prime Riddick Bowe and could hang in there with Lennox Lewis. Size does matter but it isn't everything and it carries constraints. Get a clue.

    Ali And Frazier were ****ed after long illustrious careers against top notch opposition.

    Averaging over 80 punches against who? yes against Chris ****ing Arreola. Guys like chris arreola constitute this 'new breed' of heavyweight. The product of modern sports science and nutrition.

    HE was a huge man then at 220 pounds. He was BIGGER then Derek Chisora. He just wasn't heavier. He wasn't bloated. He wasn't carrying excess bodyfat and mass that isn't functional.

    What we see in the HW division at the exception of a few are guys that are Bloated, carrying weight above what is optimum, above what is natural for their frame. They weigh in heavier than greats of the past but their actual FRAMES aren't that big. What is sacrificed is speed and conditioning. This sacrifice is made for very little if any gain whatsoever. Size only matters when you can use it and impose it.

    Well the Klitschko dickriding has reached proportions to this point unheard of

    I personally am disgusted, size and size alone has become the criteria by which all fighters must be judged according to you disgusting vermenous Klit lickers

    Chisora has barely proved himself beyond UK domestic level at a time when such a level is as weak as it possibly has ever been.

    Frazier on the other hand...
