It really is amazing how uneducated some people on this website really are. Frazier fought in the highest level and the deepest pool the heavyweight division has ever had. Wlad is fighting in the shallowest pool. Has been badly knocked out three times by nobodies!!!! Also dont give me this 200lbs 5 - 10. Joe had the same stats as mike tyson in weight and height, had great power with the left hook, and great footwork which would be clearly ahead of Wlad's. Joe outknock's (your language not mine see above) Wlad in 8-10 onesided rounds.
Well said. The majority of the posters in this thread who believe Wlad has a chance against Frazier obviously are not students of the division's history and are most likely teenagers.
Only a couple a people per 100000 boxing fans have boxed. A large portion are 8 years old and down. As an actual adult I can tell you that Frazier would get shut down in round one, would not bod and weave, would "fight scared" and would be KOED in the mid rounds or late.
Frazier would not allow Wlad to dictate the pace, Frazier would be in about Wlad's body like a tramp with a steak meal. He would be unrelentless that Wlad could very well be DQ'd for holding, such is his fear of getting tagged.
Rank the chins of Fraizer, Brewster and Sanders. Rank their power. Size? At least Brewster and Sanders are above 6'. I don't think it would be easy for Fraizer even he is the more skilled fighter when compared to Sanders and Brewster. He's got power in the left hook but I don't think it would land to often, too short. He's gonna some body shots, but he's gonna be eating big jabs and straights. I don't even think he's more durable than Peter.
This is exactly my first thought when reading the thread title. Frazier gives him a great fight because he can keep his head movement going throughout the fight, but Klitschko probably eventually gets him. Although there is a reasonable chance that Frazier makes it a dog fight and TKOs Wlad in the middle rounds.
Wladimir outboxes him and grinds him down for 12 rounds straight, maybe stops him in the 11th or 12th. Frazier never fought anyone with Wladimirs combination of skill and athletic size. And his style clashes terribly with Wlads, short HW trying to force an inside fight with a pure boxer. None of the Golden Era HWs are invincible, not by any means. And they all have losses. To say they would "kill" Wladimir is ridiculous. They were fighters with weaknesses and losses and they all had ugly fights and hard fights like every other fighter in history. No one of any era is unbeatable
I can't believe what I've been reading! don't people know the 70's fighters were inhuman? invincible! bullets would not stop them! bombs would not stop them! Maybe, just maybe, a hydrogen bomb, not very likely, but maybe.....
I find it hard to believe that so many posters think Frazier would have an easy time with Wlad... Wlad has all the advantages in this fight... I can only give Frazier punchers chance...
Wlad doesn't have the confidence in his chin to commit to the uppercuts that Foreman destroyed Frazier with early on. It took Wlad 10 rounds to finally start throwing uppercuts, and he looked very amateurish and off balance. Missing often. Frazier would take away Wlad's best weapon, the jab, with his movement, and get close to land hooks and puncture his chin. Frazier's speed, and conditioning, would make him too slippery for Wlad to hold everytime he got close, and the way Wlad leaves his chin exposed, he would get hit. There is no proof that Wlad can take punches from a serious puncher, and he fights to protect his chin. Wlad is a big puncher, but he's the wrong guy to put agianst Frazier. However, Vitali would be a different story.
