I'm going to do Frazier and Holyfield next, because both were arguably just the third best HW's of their era, but deserve a higher ranking than any other "third best" on the ATG list. I rank Frazier higher than Holyfield, around #13. Beat arguably the greatest HW of all time once, but then lost to him two other times (essentially only matching Norton's achievement). More impressive in many ways is his overall title run as HW champ, ranks in the top 10 all time for title time length and successful consecutive defenses. Was the first actual HW Olympic champion to become pro HW world champ. One of the all time standards for pressure fighters. Good power, great willpower, and a class act. On the other hand was blown out badly by Foreman twice, never faced some of the top 70's fighters (such as Norton and Lyle), interspersed some good title defenses with some of the worst all time (Dave Zyglewicz is my choice for worst title defense of all time, no notable names on resume, some bad losses going into fight, and had been suspended by a boxing commission for not knowing how to defend himself) and showed some chin issues over a comparatively short career, per the Foreman and Bonavena fights. Still clear top 15.
