Riddick bowe Lennox Lewis Larry Holmes Ken norton Evander holyfield Tommy Morrison Cleveland williams Max Baer All in their top forms for 15 rounds
Agree on all except you guessed it Holmes. These are probably my 2 favorite HWC. Depending on the day I may pick one over the other. Very tough call for me. I admit when it comes to Frazier and Holmes it's tough not to have sentiment in my conclusions.
FOTC Frazier only loses to Lewis imo. Holmes and Holyfield are hard fights for him, but neither have the punch to take Joe out or the natural strength to man handle him. Bowe again, on his best day Holy 1 for me, poses a serious problem with his size and skills, similar to Lewis. Morrison is dangerous with the left hook, he could catch Joe early before he starts smoking, but Frazier would be favourite to tko him. Cleveland Williams and Baer are monster punchers, they pretty much can catch and knock out most, but FOTC was a well oiled, primed fighting machine. I think he starts breaking Norton down after 6/7 rounds and stops him in 10-12
Bowe I'd make the favorite due to his size and skills and he could crack. Holmes/Frazier I don't know I'd favor Frazier over Norton I'd make Holyfield the slight favorite. Frazier depended too much on his left hook and Holyfield had the speed and boxing ability and accuracy to land combinations at will and the chin to take Fraziers shots. Holyfield while not a devastating puncher, did hit harder than Ali IMO. I'd favor Frazier over Morrison, but Morrison might drop Frazier I think Frazier stops Williams after being floored and surviving some harsh opening moments Max Baer had the power but I don't think he was as good as a prime Foreman. Prime Foreman actually used good technique in that first fight with Frazier. He wasn't just wild and all over the place like Max Baer probably would've been.
Holyfield beating frazier? Hahah the guy that fought a war and was down against bert cooper? Frazier stops him
