    How does he go if he fights each of them once?

    Some interesting matches.

    I think the liklihood is that almost anybody would drop one if they fought this dangerous trio.

    Frazier McVea would be an all out war between two left hookers with Frazier having the more busy left hook but McVea the harder. Hard to say what happens.

    Jeanette would be savy enough to survive the early rounds against Frazier and would put some hurt on him. This might resemble a more competitive version of Frazier Machen.

    Wills might give Frazier his toughest fight using his size range anbd strength to impose himself on Frazier. Thios would be a long bout with Wills playing spoiler and nulifying the action.

    How Frazier fares in thes bouts depends to some extent on the rule set. Also if Frazier was fighting in this era he would almost certainly have fought Sam Langford at some point.

    I think he beats everyone from this era, Dempsey-Frazier being a toss up, did Quarry say he'd dominate Marciano or Dempsey or both?

    Nobody would get through this era without a few scars on their record. Too many good fighters fighting too often.

    What will Fraziers record look like after he has fought Langford, McVea, Jeanette and Wills a dozen times each?

    I think he would destroy Wills. The wrong man for Harry IMO. I think Jeanette does a bit better but gets batt ered down the straight. McVey would have a chance to beat him early. My pick, Frazier by KO.

    I think Frazier's easiest match is Jeanette, and UD is likely for Frazier.

    I get the feeling Frazier vs McVey could be a late TKO win for McVey on styles. McVey had a top chin, and plenty of power. Not the easiest guy to grind down.

    I think Frazier vs Wills is close to pick em', but I'd lean toward Frazier here as I beleive he is the faster fighter, and Wills wasn't nearly as tough as McVey or Jeanette.

    Frazier gets the treble here, solidly.

    Over 15, Frazier wins all. McVey vs Frazier would be goddamn brutal.

    Frazier would handle that era but Dempsey,Louis and Marciano would be a different story
