    Lets get one thing clear Auntie Bug. If you knew ANYTHING, primarily the English language, you would be worth slightly more than effluence.

    If Byrd could back Vits up there is little doubt Frazier wouldnt do the same while landing more leather and much harder. I think Joe stops him in 10 or 11. He'd be slipping under Vits punches and punishing to the body all night, chopping him down gradually while Klit would keep tiring.

    When did Byrd back Vitali up and what round?When did Frazier become a back dancing counter puncher,southpaw?Because that's what and all Byrd could really do,and he did little against a then green Klitchko in 2000 but make him miss a lot at the same time getting hit with the more power punches.Frazier walking directly to him is the same as he was with foreman,this fight doesn't last long you simply have one of the strongest chins vs a questionable one.

    Green at almost 30.... thanks again kliturd tells us all that vitali was a much slower learner than the average boxer, underlining his argument rather than enforcing it.

    you could be green without fighting top competiton ,as he was even before lewis,which is why fury is going to get demolished next month,the difference is hes not vitali and lacks his qualities,if you knew your boxing and actually even tried it,you would know what constitutes being green let alone on a world level...heres a hint...its not age!:patsch

    Have you even seen this fight? If so you need to go back and watch it again. Byrd sat in the pocket or against the ropes all night making Vits miss and than backing him straight up with his own punches. Frazier isnt going to give Vits the same luxery of sitting back, he will come forward all night with more and harder punches. You use the Foreman fight as an example of why Klit would win, but Foreman stood his ground with Frazier. If Vits couldnt stand his ground with a much lesser puncher in Byrd, I cant see him doing it with Joe. On top of that Foreman threw looping hooks, uppercuts and clubbing right hands. Vits doesnt fight like that at all. Im not saying Frazier never gets hit, but with his bob and weave come forward style I see him getting under many of Vits punches and punishing him. Lets also take into account Klitschko doesnt have the same power as Foreman did, he needs to wear a guy down more times than not to stop him. Frazier was hurt against George but kept getting up and wanting to fight. Vits has never seen this kind of pace before and he'd be fighting of the back foot more times than not which is something he's always looked uncomfortable with.

    I'm really digging these magical powers Joe has seemed to develop in the decades since he retired. Please, do go on.

    No where near compared to the magical powers Vitali has.

    Chisora (a poor mans Joe Frazier), 20 fight novice, gave Vitali all he could handle, Frazier who has similar measurements to Chisora however has no chance.

    Repeat of Buster Mathis.

    Vitali's body could be pounded and it was by those who targeted it.

    Chisora made Vitali's sides look like fillet steak.

    Not good against a guy who was built to avoid straight shots and had a fierce body attack.

    A 41 old Vitali lost like 2 rounds in that fight.

    If thats the route youd like to go, youd have to use Jumbo Cummings as a measuring stick for Frazier. ATG porn name, though.

    I don't recall Byrd backing Vitali up. I recall Vitali was winning their fight until he quit from a shoulder injury :think

    I am a frazier fan but I see him having a tough time beating Vitali :bbb
