Joe Frazier vs these 3 modern heavyweights

Sure, assuming that Zhang didn't put a hole through him first. Frazier is slippery but Zhang is a faster and crisper puncher than Foreman. Frazier is gonna have to make the fight if he wants to win, and Zhang catching him coming in would be lights out.

 

If Kabayel can do it, then a much better fighter in a similar style in Frazier can.

 

Kabayel is 6'3, 240+ pounds, 80 inch reach.

Frazier is 5'10, 205 pounds, 73 inch reach.

A bit of a difference.

 

Like hitting a slab of meat all day long.

 

Yep.

I just can't understand what the size obsessed fans are watching, do they actually pay attention when they watch the older greats like Frazier?

In my opinion, the skill level between eras is like night and day, today's heavyweights mostly look like tough man competitors in comparison.

 

Man people really think Frazier, who struggled with every heavy hitter he faced, will somehow magically overcome the huge size and power difference against a modern SHW just by sheer grit and toughness. People really are delusional when it comes to evaluating old timers lol

 

Like who? Usyk.certainly doesn't look primitive

Fighters today can study and learn from past greats so.a skill defecit seems counterintuitive

 

A very well thought out and fair analysis! (As much of a Joe Frazier fan as I am I believe the immense size disadvantage Joe would face against Fury might be too much to overcome-even for FOTC Frazier.)

 

Fundamentally Joe Frazier was way better than all those guys . But who knows if he’d over come the vast physical advantage they’d have over him.

 

Stops Fury, wins one out of three. Slaughters the other two.

 

Sorry can you clarify? Who wins one out of three? Fury? If so, I don't disagree. Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him come out on top of a trilogy tbh.

 

While I respect your opinion I don't see how four of you picked Dubois to beat Frazier. Dubois is a pretty good fighter, but he has no heart and very little chin. Those traits make for a losing combination against somebody with Frazier's set of skills.

 

A lineup like three HWs of this height over the Championship Distance is pre FOTC Frazier's ultimate wet dream. Joe could let his hook to the head fly with absolute abandon from outside, inside forget about it, and his FOTC stamina was unworldly.

 

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll i'lllllllllllllllllllllll be damned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats a real blast from the past!
