So did Ellis, Machen, Quarry, Daniels, Jones....etc Not really a drastic size difference between most of their victims. Frazier was heavier, faster, and more accurate than Marciano, yet did not produce the same devastating results with his punches. Marciano dropped men with glancing blows, some times not even setting his feet. Frazier needed full leveraged punches.
How many of Rocky's victims weighed over 200lbs apart from Don ****ell, who had genuine weight problems and was shorter then the Rock.
The focus was on results against similar sized opposition, as both men's best stoppage wins came against men under 200. Not much here. Note worthy stoppages of 200 pound ****ell 205 Louis 214 Shkor 221 Savold 200 Wilson 230 Chuvalo 217 Mathis 243 Ellis 201 Stander 218 Ramos 208 Louis is the best knockout scalp of this bunch. Ellis was good, ****ell was decent. Chuvalo stopped on a pre existing eye injury, Savold quit. Rest are fringe contenders.
Louis weighed 213 and he was old weak and pathetic at that time. Frazier would have knocked him out much faster. The guys that weighed over 200 pounds that rocky stopped were literally garbage.
Louis was 37 with only about 30% use of his right hand, ****ell I've mentioned, savold must have been getting on.
I don't see Frazier as being top flight as a puncher,certainly not on Marciano's level,its telling that boosters keep referring to his ko of Bob Foster who was never very durable against decent heavies. I can't find anything wrong with the post,which is annoying.
Wilson was stopped inside a minute and a half with a severe eye cut ,he hadn't been floored or wobbled and protested vociferously at the stoppage. The Shkor ko was impressive according to reports.
I know how old Louis was, I also know even at that point he is the best I listed by a good margin, and the most impressive knock out. So what is your argument now? You tried to use as Foster to imply Frazier was just as impressive against under 200, but I pointed out all the other men that were in the same weight range he failed to look as powerful against. You than switched to over 200 pound men in which I don't see much evidence for him over Rocky either.
I just filed him under fringe contender. I think Stander was stopped on cuts with no knockdowns as well.
