How good is Vitaly's jab at keeping off smaller fighters compared to Foreman and Lennox Lewis?
There are other tall heavyweights that I don't think could keep Frazier away, like Akawande and Grant, but Vitaly has been jabbing while backing up so well lately, that I can't see how a guy that small 5'11 210 can pressure Vitally all night. I think Frazier would have his moments, but enough to win the fight? It is doubtful.
In 2005, we may see Toney take a shot at it. Toney may very well be the pound 4 pound best heavyweight, but but Toney needs to have more height if he is really going to have a shot at breaking down Vitaly. And lifting a huge amount of weights to get to 225 is not going to cut it. Also, if Toney shows up at more than 230, the VK haters are going to have a feild day with the "If Toney wasn't such a fatsas" threads.
Is there anybody here that was around when Frazier was fighting that can shed some light onto this subject.
