If Frazier won the 3rd fight where would we put him all time?

Then we're up for quite the alternate history aren't we? Frazier is top 5 if he takes 2 of 3 from Ali IMO. Foreman probably rematches Ali and by blasting Frazier out in 2 fights Foreman is probably top 3. Larry Holmes probably gets a little more credit and maybe we get treated to some fights like Frazier-Lyle or Frazier-Shavers and if Foreman were to beat Ali in a rematch then perhaps we see Foreman-Holmes and I think that COULD have put one of those guys in contention for the #2 best heavyweight ever.

But thats just my view and I've got Joe Louis as the #1 heavyweight of all-time due to his 25 successful title defenses, missing a couple years of his prime due to SERVING HIS COUNTRY in World War II, and well he was just a class act in the ring, great Champion, none better!

He would still be below ALI on the list..

Even if he had beaten Ali in a trilogy match, U gotta look at their resume/accomplishment and it's hard to put him over Ali..

Yeah great question. I have Ali a slamdunk at #1 all-time but if he lost 2 to Frazier I'd probably have Louis #1. Frazier as it is right now makes my top 10-12. I'm guessing he's top 6 if he takes 2 from Ali. Foreman destroyed Frazier and I'd have him rated over Frazier even if he won 2 or 3 from Ali becuase of those wins.
