    at the very least 200 pounds
    Frazier at his best and the opponents at their best.
    Dont think he beats Holmes, Lewis, tyson, foreman obviously, holyfield, liston, v klitschko or Wklitschko(with his holding)
    He might beat bowe, bowe didnt have the best chin he was pretty much out and defenseless from a single punch vs both holyfield and golota but neither managed to finish him.
    But then again with bowe's size his uppercut and frazier's vulnerability to them and frazier's slow feet bowe may destroy him. Both have a huge heart.

    Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes. At their respective peaks Joe would be favored over both.

    I`m sure there are other people who would as well. Their both great fighters. I would pick Joe at his best over both. I like the style matchup. They would be blazing fights though.

    I have a feeling if sanders could knock wlad around the ring Joe frazier certainly could.

    Sanders is a bit bigger and fights differently to Frazier. Not saying Frazier couldn't do it, but stylistically they are apples and oranges.

    I see him beating Holyfield in a hell of a fight by late tko.

    In a 15 rounder I reckon he'd defeat Holmes too but like the Ali trilogy,Holmes would win any subsequent battle. As with Ali,it would take more out of Frazier than his opponent in this case.

    Definitely mate, but I have a inkling that if Joe could drop that hook and kd ali he could do it to wlad, the early version of wlad im referring to. I'm not putting the house on it but wlad didn't possess the iron chin of his brother.
