    Joe had a very good Defence. I don't think he was even hit there. If he was it wasn't clean

    Very underrated defense. Better than Tyson's imo

    Awesome sequence!
    Prime Joe Frazier was, along with Rocky Marciano and Henry Armstrong, the quintessence of the pressure fighter.

    Hell, he made the fastest heavyweight in history repeatedly miss jabs and right hands in th FOTC, his defense was excellent for a pressure fighter.

    Monday, March 8, 1971, The FOTC, an unforgettable night.

    And somehow he is rated almost as an also-ran these days.

    Love me some Smokin' Joe. RIP warrior.

    Possible the most underrated HWC at this point. I don't understand how that happened

    Probably the best smarmer in HW division history. Great defense for such an offensive minded fighter.
