1952 version of Walcott 1953 version of Lastarza 1954 version of Charles 1955version of Cokkell 1955 version of Moore How does 1971 Joe do?
Stops all of them. Walcott in 10 Lastarza in 5 Ezzard in 8 Cokkell in 2 lol Moore in 7 Joe Frazier was a bad man. He was much better than Marciano. If we say it's Joe from the Bonavena rematch to FOTC he'd beat them all.
Frazier wins all by stoppage and you could add Layne and Valdez to the list of stoppage victims as well. Frazier would ruin the 50's Heavies (Patterson included) with Marciano and 59 Liston the possible exceptions.
Yeah and all the guys listed were just like Foreman who scored x9 of the kd's and x2 of the stoppages. La Starza, Walcott, Charles and Moore are neither big or powerful enough (at heavy) to keep Joe off them, let alone beat him. Frazier's the bigger, more powerful man in all these fights by a fair margin.
Joe stops all of them. I think Charles might last the longest (though the Mongoose had plenty of survival tricks). They all look great the first couple of rounds. But Joe was relentless, swarming, mean and f'in' UUUUUGLY. They'd all succumb to the relentless hooks...no way are they left standing the whole fight.
