Why Holmes would NOT be better equipped against Frazier than Ali was

Frazier definitely war, maybe choice of word war should be changed to tough fighter for ATGs like Patterson and Liston and Tough opponents for people like quarry , Bonavena, Williams, terrell, folley, Williams Ect what do you think is that phrased better?

 

Yes, that Ali beating every contender there was over 2 decades ducking no one, was sure overrated.

 

I wouldn't try reasoning with this guy , Swag . He's a pure as hell hater .

 

Disagree.

It was the most accurate punch from any heavy----all he ever did was throw it to the body. Everyone he threw was a body shot that landed---he seldom hit air with it. And he rarely went upstairs with it.

Jusdt because a guy does not throw it upstairs does not mean he doesn't have one. Go check the accuracy of that punch. He threw a lot of them per round. And they just did not miss the target. The other thing this brings into question is the Holmes ability to absorb body punishment the way Ali did.

 

Joe was a total force of nature that night!

 

Holmes was better than Frazier. He would have picked him apart and landed the right hand later. Styles make fights my friends. Holmes was quicker than Frazier and would have stood his ground against Joe.

 

So you're convinced Larry would lose. God bless ya!

 

Solid article that tackles this exact topic in great depth.
