    Poor Leon. I'd be amazed if he made two rounds.

    To quote Holmes "Joe LOVED guys like that (those who came in fast a lot)."

    Foreman, Frazier, Tyson, Bonecrusher...total wipeout.

    Even Holmes, never a heavy puncher, knocked him senseless in three.

    Spinks beat a way-past-it Ali, the same Ali who should have given it up after Frazier III.

    Guys I like Leon but what the Coetzee fight proved was that he never evolved to true contender status .. he defeated a very physically old Ali and then lost to a worse version based on his own lack of focus .. Holmes crushed him in three rounds and he might not have lasted that long against a prime Frazier .. here's how long the fight would last ... until Frazier started too break a sweat .. then he would decapitate Spinks .. Leon did not have the firepower , defense or chin to even compete w Frazier ..

    C'mon, it let Frazier-Stander, Foreman-Roman, Ali-Dunn, Holmes-Evangelista, and Spinks-Tangstaad all happen. This is nothing close to those.

    I find it interesting people think Leon could last longer against prime Frazier than he did against prime Holmes.
