Joe Frazier highlights (Part 1)

frazier was **** - ali was the best

 

Thanks.

 

Joe was great. Without a doubt , a top ten ATG Heavyweight.I almost **** myself laughing when people say the Klitchkos could deal with Joe just because they're so much bigger.

 

Joe is the toughest SOB of all time!

 

If Frazier was "****" then Ali beating him in one of the most memorable fights in history , and losing to him in the BIGGEST fight in heavyweight history , would make Ali **** too, wouldn't it?

 

Ignore him, he doesn't know what he's talking about and is probably wet behind the ears. Frazier is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and one of the toughest guys to ever step in the ring.

 

I loved fraziers style him and tyson were very much alike, alot of heavyweights today wouldnt be able to deal with him.

 

Naa,it's the way you've been dragged up,you so doped up you can't recognize a good fighter if he dropped you on your fat arse....go clean my car windscreen at the lights....

 

Frazier was at least 20 lbs later so cut him some slack. He hit ali too with real good shots but the great one just ate them all.

 

They weren't. Other than that low crouching stance Mike had in his prime and similar physical attributes (although Mike was a good 20lbs heavier) they were very different fighters.
Frazier was a guy who had one punch. A big left hook and that was pretty much it. He would walk forwards in straight lines and was more than willing to take one to give one. He had that herky jerky style with the hands constantly shuffling. He was a very powerful puncher for his size but his ring intelligence was lacking. He made up for that with sheer toughness and an indomitable will.
As for Tyson. Well you know the drill......

 

:deal I concur. They act like if today he'd be some journeyman. :rofl:rofl:rofl Idiots.

 

Frazier wouldnt even be a heavyweight by todays stanards. You can be as much a revisionist/sentimental as you like but facts are Vlad/Vitali vs Frazier would be a fairly straight forward fight in both of the brothers favour.

 

You mean today's heavyweights would habe trouble with two flat footed 5"11 fighters who know nothing else but their one-dimensional toe-to-toe forehead-to-forehead style? That's a hilarious assumption.

You see what Lewis made of Tyson. Even the most shot-to-**** version of Lewis would have easily disposed of prime Tyson. Tyson was lacking the ring intelligence to bring any response to Lennox hug and jab style. The 1980s Tyson just as much as the 1990s.

Lennox vs. Frazier would be a one-sided bloodbath which would make Foreman vs. Frazier look like a walk in the park for Joe. In fact Frazier belongs nowhere close to the top 10 ATG list. Based on what really? Because he went 1 in 3 vs. Ali? Or because he went 0 in 2 vs. Foreman?

 

You have cruisers like Haye and Adamek not to mention others that have schooled, knocked out, and basically owned HW's throughout the years. If you think having respect and admiration for a fighter that has a resume the Klits would love to have you want to call be a revisionist then so be it. I also disagree with Joe simply being a one punch fighter.

He dropped Ali with his left hook and it happened to be a mammoth of a left hook, that is why he is known for that, but Frazier also was a double fisted fighter. Just because he lost to an aggressive big man like Foreman does not mean he'll lose to the Klits. Of course the Klits will look invincible when they are fighting limited opposition. I like the Klits, but neither had the aggression or punches in bunches Foreman was known for doing. And all of Foreman's punches had bad intentions. Especially Wlad he would fall in 1 or 2 rounds if he tried to punch with Foreman punch for punch or get stopped. If Frazier in his prime got by Ali's jab and footwork he's getting past the Klits. Light punching Byrd was losing rounds to Vitali, but even he had his moments what makes you think Frazier wouldn't have his?
