    You're putting Bowe on a much higher pedestal than he deserves, and you're not giving Frazier NEARLY as much respect as he deserves.

    Frazier hit hard enough to drop and seriously hurt a man with one of the best chins of all time in Ali.

    Riddick Bowe DREAMS he had as good a chin as Ali.

    Trust me, Bowe is NOT taking Frazier's left hook all night without serious damage.

    You're either underrating Frazier's power, overrating Bowe's chin, or both.

    Probably both.

    Yet Joe Bugner and Oscar Bonavena both were able to take Frazier's hook all night. Maybe its not such an impossible task even if you don't have an Ali-level chin.

    The fact that Bowe could stand up to Holyfield's power round after round makes me think he could probably take Fraziers
