    Joe Frazier if he were a heavyweight now

    Last night I was watching some tape of some Joe Frazier fights including the Bob Foster and the Jimmy Ellis fights. It reminded me of how he really could dominate a fight. Anyone out there have opinions of how he would do in the current heavyweight division???

      I would be scared if Joe Frazier came back to unify the heavyweight division.

        Wouldn't that be something if he came back at 62 or whatever he is now and actually did it.

          But I think it's safe to say that Frazier in his prime could be champion a long time in this division, right?

            With the talent thats in the Heavyweight division today, Joe Frazier would be undefeated, unified and have all of the 4 major belts around his waist.

              He was a very well conditioned, busy heavyweight compared to the current crop IMO. I think only the very tallest ones would give him any trouble because of having to reach up so far. He would probably have more decisions now because of Heavies being slightly larger on the average, but I still think he would be champ lol

                People like Wlad Klit and Valuev would give him trouble.

                    He probably just means the size and brute strength difference.
                    Valuev weighs about 125 lbs. more than Frazier, and he's over a foot taller.
