In an odd turn of events my #1 Heavyweight of all time came close to missing the cut. That's a rough group for the Brown Bomber. In the end I edged him over Holyfield, but he would have had a rough night with him.

Frazier got mentioned as many, if not more, times on this thread than Lewis and Dempsey did.

He would have beat either one of them in the real world, too.

Nice self-portrait, Darling Dear.

I would confidently bet on Joe to win that group.

RECOUNT!

You screwed him by not participating, one more proper vote like my Frazier followed by Lewis would have tied him with Dempsey.

Pot...kettle...? At least he hasn't attempted to hunt anyone here down & beat them up for perceived insults against his favourite fighter, eh? Now that would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?

I can't put it any better than you...

Yep, sorry about that.

I thought Frazier was a sure ticket to get to the next round.
