    I agree to a degree.
    Big George had a bigger arsenal of different punches

    He was behind on all cards in the Witherspoon fight I think.
    Nah he was well ahead mate

    YOU AGREE ?
    No not at all. He did have decent punching techinque but was kinda stiff and slow.

    Plus he was an unlce Tom

    Sorry Frank, i know your not :P

    I used to remember it that way too but Boxrec has him behind on all judges cards when the fight was stopped 94-97, 96-98, 96-99 so was heading to a points defeat anyway.

    Maybe if he didnt spend his time sparring against Sting........................

    Actually his biggest flaw was never committing to the jab

    Top ten easily like someone else said could never ko the elite of the elite but to be fair Witherspoon and Tyson had solid chins and Lewis had decent chin aswell.

    He was behind on all cards in the Witherspoon fight I think.

    He did have the power just not the aggression. I reckon he hit as hard as Tyson, trouble is he only ever through jabs really.
    Frank dominated most of Witherspoon fight until later rounds but he was still ahead by atleast 2 rounds.

    Bonecrusher wobbled Tyson well before that
    I remember someone taking a reading of Franks right cross and it registered a similar reading to a sledgehammer!
    Think it was in the build up to the Witherspoon fight

    Frank undoubtedly had heavy hands, but his power was next to useless at the highest level, due to his lack of mobility, stamina & is lack of athleticism due to his over muscled frame.

    He never floored a world class opponent, even if he did mark up or wobble a couple of them.
