    Frazier @ prime circa, 1970 and his perfect weight of 205lb
    Holmes @ prime circa 1981, coming in at 215-220lb

    I think Frazier's more durable than Norton, and Holmes didn't stop Norton. That's why I pick decision.

    Holmes is historically greater, and Holmes is historically better.

    HOWEVER, Ali-Frazier 1 Smokin Joe beats Holmes.

    My bad: I was thinking Frazier post-Foreman when he became a bit of a liability when tagged....
    Holmes hit harder than Ali...

    Holmes jab would have to be a pin point laser all night to fend off Frazier.

    BTW, am I the only one who felt like Smoking Joe got taller as he got Older?

    The Frazier from the first Ali fight beats 81' Holmes up & wins by clear decision.
