    Frazier for me.

    As much as I like Joe, beyond beating Ali in the first fight (and Ali was coming off a three-year layoff), his resume isn't very good. Bonavena nearly KO'd him in their first fight, which was a SD. Foreman bounced him off the canvas like 20 times in their two matches. I just don't see an ATG, someone who retired in his 30s with only like 35 fights and who came up short against the two best fighters he faced.

    I wouldn't argue against Wlad, who had plenty of losses and a so-so resume. But he did fight into his 40s and although he had losses, he did have longevity and he didn't really duck anyone.

    I disagre.

    Ali (One of the greatest single wins in boxing history)
    Bonavena x2 (Won the first and showed improvement in the 2nd)
    Quarry x2
    Ellis x2
    Chuvalo
    Mathis Sr.
    Bugner

    Losing to the GOAT heavyweight in Ali x2 after he beat him, and to Foreman x2, who is another legendary HW , dosen't knock him down too many pegs for me I gotta say.
