    How do you think FOTC Frazier would've fared against Foreman in '73?

    I don't think ANY version of Frazier defeats 73 Foreman--it was a nightmare matchup for him. FOTC Frazier might have lasted a few more rounds but Foreman's size and power would always be too much for Joe to overcome. (Foreman would always be able to control distance. Frazier would never be able to get inside--and he would always be vulnerable to George's lethal uppercuts.)

    I've given it a lot more thought. I like Joe late.
