my point was that as much as i like frazier his wins were against mediocre opposition ( im sorry but i rate ellis and bonavena as mediocre ) and a 3 + year rusty ali...i actually dont know why im arguing this as i always have frazier in my top 10...just not as high as dempsey or marcianoComment

the way i see it frazier has a good chance of beating a prime ali or any boxer actually. but any good big slugger would be able to overcome him quite easily
i have him around 7th just behind liston i believeComment

then i disagree almost as strongly dempsey is a slightly slower but more powerful tyson he was smaller but a much smarter fighter with aggression similar to tyson. he could give any of your top ten a very good fight and should be in the top ten IME however if you have him at 11 i'll forgive you

Joe Frazier can never beat foreman, all he can do is bob and weave his way into foreman's reach and get smoked.Comment
