    I pick Frazier to win based on a lot more than that.

    Etienne's, "performance" against a shot Tyson was worthy of a withheld purse. A young Frazier would've beaten him before the bell.

    Whats really funny is Ettiene is Wladimira's grandaddy. It only took the Black Rhino ONE time to own LAME-on Bumster.

    Not sure, can Frazier match the Black Rhino's pace? :/

    This is a tough one. I mean, Frazier was good, but not really that good and IMHO usually overrated in MM where idiots pick him to beat a 1971 version of Ali and other such jibberish.

    Clifford was an unpredictable fighter who had a few mental issues and didn't really do himself justice against Tyson when his pre-fight anxiety simply got the better of him. Plus, as X says, he holds a win over Brewster, who beat a host of decent, modern guys like Golota and, of course, Wladimir Klitscko.

    I'll pick Frazier, but styles, modern training and assuming that we are talking the 'prime' Clifford, this one could be close.

    Great. Unfortunately the sarcasm was probably missed by most.

    Frazier is, of course, an overrated chinny bum. Etienne is also a chinny bum, but he weighs more than Frazier. And, as we all know, whoever weighs more always wins. PLUS...Frazier did start his career in the 60's and any fighter who fought then is an old timer and therefore no good.

    So the Black Rhino is the obvious winner.
