If Frazier had faced Louis's title Challenger's: Does he falter before 25-0?

Same as Marciano thread, Frazier just wasnt a longevity fighter.

I would favor him over all if we are matching the best Frazier every bout but he often struggled with long term motivation.

Frazier will ultimately start cutting corners, lose interest, and drop fights. You didnt have to be Foreman or Ali to beat the poor efforts Frazier put in.

 

Thats a logical fallacy though. Frazier didnt take any risks outside of Ali and Foreman when he started decling. His efforts in Foreman 1 & 2 and Ali 2, he may not lose as desicively, but hes beatable by lesser.

Frazier got pushed by Ron Stander in his own title reign. So some of the 25 will surely get his attention.

 

Joe takes them all

 

Joe goes 25-0.

 

The guys that can bang and take punishment: Galento, Buddy, Nova, Simon.

Farr would be interesting, especially if Frazier doesnt show up in top form.

And of course Walcott.

Who knows. I could see off night or out of shape Funk Band Era Frazier losing to any number of good fighters.

He could barely commit to a spacious controlled schedule of lesser competition after winning the title. You think hes going to match 25-0 against some crafty vets and dangerous punchers? Its not the match ups..its the schedule and Joe's lack of dedication.

 

Yes he would falter.

Too much competition, too soon.

 

No..the thread is Frazier going 25-0 after winning the title, matching Braddock to Walcott 2....i dont see that at all.

 

Joe would have to beat Schmeling, and M. Baer. With other former champions such as Carnera, and Sharkey, and a decent enough Levinsky.

Could he do it, yes. Would he? I think he drops one along the way.
