Mike Tyson vs Joe Frazier

Just a correction. No one knows what Ali or Frazier weighed when they fought in 75. The weigh in was five days before the fight took place. Norton at ringside stated both fighter were lighter than the announced weights with Joe being around 209 pounds.

 

.......

 

Joe did not look over 215. That is just plain stupid talk.

 

Actually was in the process of editing the post to say Joe looked heavier
than what was mentioned in your post. As far as the actual weight, that is purely conjecture.

 

Both fighters were in absolute peak condition for their respective age. Ali never looked better since his bout with Foreman. A few years later Ali rated this fight as his best ever performance.

 

Yes, they were both in great condition.

 

I've stooped low and have replied to click bait trolls too many times on this forum to count. Now I just put them on ignore to save time and energy.

I sent you a PM regarding other sites to visit.

 

McBride was a journeyman fighter not remotely in Frazier's class and people spouting off about him lasting longer against Tyson than Joe would is just speculative bluster, with literally nothing to substantiate the claims. Also you were saying McBride lasted 7 with Tyson which makes it sound like Tyson won instead of quitting on his stool like he did, which may be a subliminal reluctance on your part to admit to your hero losing to a fighter of Kevin McBride's dubious quality.

Go on say it Kevin McBride W TKO6 Mike Tyson, come on it's not so hard to do :good

As for Holyfield he was cut from an accidental butt and said he couldn't see and the referee stopped it and called in a NC, which is different to flat out refusing to come out as Tyson did.That being said Evander was losing but he was 48 years old ( a full decade older than Tyson was in the McBride fight) and had proven his durability and heart way more than Tyson had in wars with Qawi, Dokes, Bowe, Mercer etc and in gutting it out in losses to Toney, Donald, Byrd, Ibragimov etc despite being almost totally shot.

 

Dude, I really don't care. Read the previous quote made by Azzer and the response by Foreman&Dempsey.

 

This right hand you claimed Joe didn't have, mysteriously battered Iron chinned Chuvalo and gave him the worst beating of his career.

 

.215 it's very credible

 

one thing iS SUre Frazier waS heaVIer thAn 209

 

Also forgot Douglas

 

Gotta go with Tyson but if its the Joe from the 1st Ali fight ....tough call
