    Frazier was another yank HW. Apart from beating Ali - he was **** average.



    he isnt overrated. most list have him somewhere in the top 15 or top 20 heavyweights. he gets hit for resume and lack of longevity. in his prime he was a great heavyweight with underrated defense. he made a style work with short height and trex arms.

      I guess you’re one of those Al bum boys and you’ll deny the obvious if it were to be tattooed on yer face. Hell yeah, Mayweather was a free agent with Al Haymon the “advisor” as his hang bag and a TV deal with Showtime. The first free agent in history who was tied to a TV deal and a handbag as “advisor’ but the handbag was in charge of deals for his fights.

      Patterson retired in 1972 but somehow a Frazier who turned pro in 1965 didn’t fight him. But somehow Ali and a host of others fought him.

      Frazier also somehow missed fighting Norton, Shavers, Lyle and Young who’re his era.

      Frazier might actually be as overrated as Wilder tbh. if he hadn’t beaten Ali - I doubt anyone would remember him tbh.
      Warroom's alt ****em... Is it true that when you got hit in the head it rings like a bell because it is hollow?

        He's overrated amongst casual. A lot of people still act like he walks on water.

          Youngest heavyweight champion of all time. Unified, undisputed, and lineal in his first reign. 9 defenses.

          To this day I don't understand how Larry Holmes doesn't count for Tyson but Wladimir Klitschko counts for Joshua.

            The fact that you think I'm "war room" shows yer IQ is in single digit and you're most likely autistic. No one with a functioning brain would ever say that.

            Hang it up, silly billy. Or is it dementia?

              Ring Magazine did a poll 4 years ago, he came in at 9.

                  Holmes was beyond washed when he fought Tyson and was coming off 2 losses against Spinks while Wlad still had a lot left and it was his best performance in a decade.

                  Tyson won those accolades in the worst era of HWs.

                    I don't think anyone but Fury fans overrate Wilder (all of a sudden).

                    Mike's resume is a joke.

                      Add Wilder fans to the list of those who overrate Wilder.

                      Wilder is the worst boxer ever and he also has the worst resume ever.

                      The only thing they use in selling the bum is his exaggerated power that's yet to KO any solid boxer. He couldn't even spark a Fury who has a shaky chin and that's the only decent boxer he has fought.
