Frazier belongs there where Foreman put him.
The only ones you could say that about in this crop is the two brothers. But they aren't fighting anyone that gives them competition. Sure, you can mention the "unbeaten" things. But how good was Wach? Who did he beat?
Whom did Ken Norton beat when he got a title shot? Come on, impress me. You are dissing Klitschko's opponents then answer me: Whom did Norton beat when he got a title shot? Klitschko would be laughed at if he chose an opponent like Holmes.
. . . certainly gets my vote.
Feel free to leave your own nominations for boxing's Oscar De La Hoyas - the troll under Mayweather's bridge.
