    Frazier is too small. Wlad would win.

    Frazier will be smothered and mauled and not allowed to work at his usual work rate. But unlike Foreman who manhandled Frazier to move him into his big punches, Wlad does it to prevent any exchanges and wear you down. So Wlad doesn't stop Frazier until late in the fight.

    Wlad is the smasher of little guys par excellance. He fully uses his vast frame to keep them on the end of his ATG jab and then his height to smother them to death when on the inside. He uses footwork to artificially increase the distance they have to cover when trying to close the gap and his monstrous right hand to punish the ones that are willing to walk through fire. As good as Frazier was, this is probably an even worse matchup for him than Foreman was.

    The only way Frazier has a chance is if the fight has a ref that severely punishes holding and leaning. While he's still the little guy trying to outslug the bigger guy with the bigger punch - if Frazier has a gap to go to work on the inside, he might get to do some damage.

    Yes.
    Frazier was a natural man of around 205 pounds. Klitschko is a 245+ pound superman.

    Just watched the Mormeck fight what a joke he literally threw ZERO punches for the first TWO rounds. In fact I had to check the punch stats and Mormeck only threw 19 total (landed 3) the ENTIRE 4 round fight. Trying to break lowest punch stat?

    Frazier by knockout , around the 5th when he brings that hook from the body up to Wlad's crystal chin and sprays the ringside crowd with shards of glass.

    Frazier might make it to the fifth.

    George Foreman couldn't keep Frazier on the mat, and Joe Frazier ain't Ross Purity
