why do people think tyson has a better chin than frazier?

frazier went right into foreman's punches i would love to see what would happen if tyson faced old foreman let alone young george. The only proof that this ****** has is that Foreman dropped him. Who the **** cares? He's one of the hardest punchers ever so of course he has the power to take somebody off their feet.

Frazier fought Bonavena (Twice) who was a rugged two-fisted brawler and a tough fight for any fighter, Oscar could also punch he very nearly knocked out Muhammad Ali in the 10th round of their fight.

Frazier fought Quarry (Twice) who was a great counter-puncher and who punched hard enough to knock out Earnie Shavers in one round something Holmes, Ali & Norton never came close to doing.. Quarry hit hard enough to KO Mac Foster, Thad Spencer & Jack Bodell.

George Chuvalo - who was a World-Class tough guy who punched hard enough to knock-out Quarry, Manuel Ramos, Doug Jones, Yvon Durrell & Mike DeJohn.

Bob Foster - one of the hardest punchers who ever lived was bombed-out in less than 2rds by Smokin Joe.

Frazier vs Foreman (1) is regarded as the most brutal punching display in the history of boxing yet Frazier was up on his feet ready to go after the 6th knock down which is a true testament to his cast iron chin... Did Ken Norton, Gerry Cooney, Michael Moorer or Ron Lyle take the punches Frazier took and beat the count.

 

Joe Frazier could absorb an unheavenly amount of punches over fifteen rounds and not even be properly staggered. See the first Ali fight!

And he was crazy enough to face Foreman 'twice' and repeatedly get up after being knocked down what? Six times. The man always got up!!!! Some have been questioning Frazier's lack of facing big punchers, but tell me another fighter who fought prime Foreman twice! I dont remember Ken Norton jumping up and down for a second match, sorry beating.

In the first Foreman fight Frazier was hit and dropped by savage uppercuts and even one full blooded shot to the back of the head!! Did he moan or ***** to the ref or take five minutes off? No! The man got ready for the next fusilade of punishment.

He was knocked down repeatedly, but its arguable as to whether he was ever dazed beyond his senses or was falling all over the ring. If anyone has boxed/sparred and has suffered knockdowns in quick succession, believe me.......it really exhausts you to get up, you get a big adrenaline rush which makes your legs feel shaky! Six times is a testiment to Joe's chin and recuperative powers. If Frazier was a defensive boxer in the manner of an Ali, Holmes or Young he may have survived by moving, circling, tying up. But the man was a face first warrior whose only defence (which was great btw) was bobbing and weaving.

Lyle and Shavers hit hard, but neither had the sort of chin that could take Frazier's repeated left hooks.

Many boxing fans claim Muhammad Ali could not punch yet IMO he could hit hard enough to KO any fighter, Ali is the only fighter to KO Foreman & Bonavena and punched hard enough to stop Lyle, London, Cooper, Folley, Williams and many more yet he hit Joe Frazier with over 4000+ punches without knocking him out..Ali said,"no other fighter except Frazier could have taken those punches"

 

i'd love to see tyson get up once against foreman. A large amount of heart can not save you from getting knocked out. Your brain and your nervous system knows when it's time to shut down and no amount of heart can prevent/override the natural feedback of the body.

He got up from those knock downs because he was physically resilient, not due to heart in the slightest

All his heart really helped him to do was run face first into more viscous uppercuts. He was a man of pride and wanted to fight like a warrior.

 

you didn't but i have actually heard ******s arguing "oh he just got up because of his heart"
