What if Frazier had used the right tactics in the first Foreman fight?

I think he would have lasted longer. Possibly had some moments but he still gets stopped eventually.
I don't think Foreman would of gotten tired as easily because he wouldnt miss that many punches. As long as George was landing he would break through.

 

Unfortunately for Joe i see the same conclusion.
Maybe lasting a few rounds longer but George would eventually have him.

 

No tactics conceivable could have got Frazier past Foreman. It may have prolonged the agony a bit.

 

I don't think JF beats GF unless he really alters a lot about himself and by then it's not really Frazier, how he existed NO it's very unlikely he beats GF.

 

I recently made similar thread: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/younger-joe-frazier-with-foreman-ii-style.734890/

 

He delays the inevitable.

 

As others have already said, the modified style might buy Frazier a few more rounds but unfortunately still see the same ultimate fate for Joe.

Not to take anything away from Frazier in the rematch but Foreman was modified himself, fighting a far more measured and patient fight which lent itself to Joe’s own strategy/objectives somewhat.
