The Vitali I saw last night would of definetely lost to a prime Joe Frazier

Frazier had enough heart, stamina, and skills to upset any HW in history. Prime Foreman had his number no shame at all for those losses. At least any version of Frazier would let his hands go before going down on his shield. He wasn't all about power like most HW's he liked to outwork them on the inside at a high rate. There's also Frazier's left hook to the body and head that would get any HW's attention.

 

tommyv admit it, you lost $7000 on Vitaly-Byrd fight. I knew it all these years deep in my soul

 

you are right, but not a bad performance

 

wow

 

Frazier was a heavy Vitaly is a super heavy the physical aspect in inches and pounds are hard to compare Vitaly will smoke Joe or any other boxer from that era.

 

Smokin Joe would be joining smoking Ollie in the crackhouse after a his emergency room stay.:smoke

 

Frazier would not be able to hit him he would need a step ladder. Joe Would be giving up 7 inches and 50 pounds. :rofl:roflatsch

 

and you would loose your everything, just like tommyv lost his 7 grands
****er

 

True. And it would be 7 inches and almost 50lbs to someone with skill.

Frazier was good, even great many will say, and I don't have an issue with that.

But the fact is, he was about the same size as Chris Byrd...even a little smaller actually (half an inch shorter, and 1 inch less in reach, prime weight about the same). Size is NOT everything, you only need to look at Valuev, Fields, Long, etc... to see that.

HOWEVER, and it's a BIG HOWEVER, when you are going up against someone with the size AND skill that Vitali has....that's just too much to overcome.

 

You have no clue about boxing. No question about it. Better you start discussion ping pong.

 

A 39 year old Vitali would lose to a prime Joe Frazier? What about a 49 year old Holyfield? How'd he do against a prime Joe Frazier? LOL

Gotta love these idiotic threads.

 

If there was one so called great in the history of boxing that Vitali could pick out to fight him that would be the easiest big fight he could pick, guess what? It would be Frazier without a doubt and I believe any honest Frazier fan who actually knows the sport also knows this.

Joke of a thread really.
