To those who believed Ali and Frazier were perhaps at the zenith of the heavyweight era I'd recommend you to watch Ali vs Frazier II. The point im trying to make is that skill doesn't always make for an exciting fight nor do exciting fighters always fight exciting fights.
This times 1000!
Trouble is there is no truth to those allegations about Lennox and inferring that Lennox was anywhere near the style of Wlad is ridiculous.

Second that their athletic ability should be counted and not the quality of their competition begs the entire question of this thread and boxing legacy.

Thirdly the Ali/Frazier fights are but a small portion of the golden era.

That’s the trouble some times with hypothetical’s. They can generate all kinds of heat and very little light whatsoever. Facts become secondary to the ongoing argument. Better to state your claim and maybe redirect it once and then back out slowly with arms at your side lol.
