    Chisora is a much bigger but in everything else worse version of Frazier and he had some success even though it was far from the best Vitali. To be honest I would favour a prime Vitali but Frazier got a decent chance at beating him

    Vitali would wreck him worse than the CRUDE version of Foreman did.

    Hell, I'd take Larsen to decimate Frazier in just as brutal fashion.:deal

    Prime Vitali by brutal early KO. Total mismatch.

    Vitali wouldn't be able to land a solid punch on Frazier, whose movement would be problematic. I also doubt that Vitali would be able to take Frazier's body punches. He's not mentally strong enough to withstand that.

    Frazier KO11.

    Frazier would win, obviously, and every true boxing fan and expert knows this.

    But the Klit fans will accuse everyone, who points out this obvious fact, of being a brittard, a racist or an old senile *****. They will mention height, they will come up with useless statistics, wait for it.

    I'd favour Vitali to Foreman him.

    Frazier would destroy Wlad though.

    I don't think Vitali hits hard enough to hurt Frazier, honestly. If Frazier was a standing target, maybe, but he wasn't and look at how ineffective Vitali's supposed power is against movers. Chris Byrd didn't have a better chin than Frazier and yet Vitali didn't land anything of note in 9 rounds or whatever it was. Vitali has awful technique and he'd lack power when punching down.

    Chisora gave us an idea of how Frazier's style would do against Vitali. Imagine if Chisora was seasoned, hit incredibly hard, had the best stamina of any heeavyweight bar Marciano, was the best body puncher in heavyweight history and could cut the ring off with ease. He'd have chewed Vitali up and spat him out, just like Frazier would.

    Obviously Vitali's size would give Fraizer problems... The problem when I think Vitali H2H against the Greats, I always go back to when he quit against Chris Byrd... Not toughing it out for 2 more rounds when he was clearly winning, always raises a question mark on how he would do against the elite HWs of the past.

    Yeah, cuz Frazier would land a single shot before gettign KOd by Wlads jab.

    Modern HWs hit harder, are stronger, faster, and overall far more dominant than the tiny mongoloids of yesteryear.

    Adamek KO1 Frazier.:lol::lol::lol:

    I'd favor Vitali by a close decision.

    A simple rangefinding jab from Vitali would wobble Frazier. Frazier had no chin whatsoever.

    Caveman George Foreman landed on Frazier with *EASE* without taking a single punch. Frazier landed nothing. ZERO! Foreman had some of the worst footwork one can imagine with no defense to speak of, and still it was good enough to hunt down Frazier and punish him without taking a shot himself.

    You put 1 + 1 together: Could Vitali - a guy with superior reflexes and footwork at least as good if not better than Foreman's - touch Frazier and demolish him? LOL The answer is so obvious it's painful. Vitali vs. Frazier would be a terribly one-sided beatdown.

    Joe is too small for Vitali, I think Vit would just lean all over him it would be a messy fight. This old version we have of Vitali at the moment would the one Joe could go to town on, like the post by Jack says. If Chisora could, Joe could and people are underestimating Joe's chin.
