Prime Lennox vs Prime Frazier.

I only like Frazier against Tyson, Holmes, and Holyfield. He gets beat by every other ATG.

 

He can (and did) beat Ali too.

Lewis destroys Fraiser, very bad style match up for him.

 

Prime Tyson was basically a better version of Frazier.

 

Floyd Patterson?:think

Anyway, I think one would have to choose Lennox Lewis, here. An accurate, solid boxer-puncher who would be able to establish the tempo of the fight and eventually knock Frazier out. At Frazier's best, I think he'd be able to last till, I don't know, round six.

Lennox Lewis KO6 Joe Frazier

 

Lewis would rip Frazier with huge uppercuts and club him with right hands all the live long day. Frazier gets creamed by Lewis.

 

Wrong. Lewis was a boxer, Foreman was a slugger. Lewis was not inclined to stand and fight.

 

Grant? Golota? Mercer? Briggs? Ummm, Lewis has a good track record of standing and fighting. He just also wins in different ways as well.

 

Honestly, I don't count anyone before the Ali era. Guys are just too small and the game has changed so much. Arguments can be made for Liston and Marciano, but anyone else before the Ali era, I simply just don't count in these types of discussions.

 

I just disagree. There is no evidence that Tyson could beat an ATG other than Holmes, who I still think he bumrushes any version of Larry, who, is the most overrated ATG and fought in the worse era in HW history. :good

 

Tactical, not strategic.

 

Joe Frazier is one dimensional, he only had left hook. Lewis has faced some of the best left hookers of his time and look spectacular against all of them:

Tyson
Tua
Morrison
Ruddock

Frazier stands very little chance, Lewis by KO within 5.

 

Lewis TKO within 7.
