Nobody in today's boxing knows how to fight inside like the old guys could, and Frazier was one of the best ever. A supremely strong and resilient guy. Cut from a completely different cloth to today's guys.
There is no evidence Wlad could deal with a guy like Frazier. Saying foreman beat Frazier really is a poor arguement from you
What the fu*k would you know. Wlad would have slaughtered the little midget. Go Back to England.
Frazier would have broken Wlad down. Wlad never fought a Frazier. They haven't existed in the HW division after Tyson.
Now Wlad was a much better older fighter. If we're going to count talent from 35 years old and on, Wlad wins hands down against Ali and Frazier. But w/ them all at their very best, I see the order 1) Ali, 2) Frazier 3) Wlad.

I'd have picked a prime Tyson over wlad. The speed and ecplosiveness would have been too much. Frazier lacked the speed and relied too much on one shot.

Joe was very fast. I'd pick Tyson too, but I like wlads chances a lot better there. He could hold Mike.

Frazier speed is underrated. He's not tyson but he had other qualities, better engine, bigger heart, better resolve, mentally unstoppable.
Wlad never faced a guy who was trained to get inside the jab and then kill his body

Frazier is a midget. You should really head down to the pub and slam a few English Crappy beers.

Frazier wasn't big, but did have a couple of inches in height and reach on Mike Tyson. I thought he was awkward, and very good the way he bobbed around. gave Ali hell. Then he met George Foreman.

It was a exciting era back then. I think Tyson would have taken the later version of Foreman. Im not so sure about the early Tyson vs. Early Foreman. That would have been a hell of fight..

Yes that's true. I also feel though he was susceptible to big punchers. He never beat any really big hitters at top level.
