Vitali Klitschko vs Joe Frazier

I don't see Vitali letting Joe just waltz in without throwing straight right hands & left hook/uppercuts.

Oh, and Vitali actually throws every punch in the book and then some, so I don't know where you got that part about Vitali's "lack of offensive variation" that you were talking about. Maybe you were confusing him with Wladimir? Wlad has less variety than Vitali.

 

George Foreman kept Joe off him...................

 

I think it's more a problem of nostalgic fans rather than pure hatred. Joe was a great no doubt & I'm sure he would land a few but Vitali has the better chin & Frazier's style is tailor made for losing against the bigger Heavyweights, with good reflexes, accuracy & power. Lennox Lewis would destroy Joe also.

 

Instead of childish remarks why not try actual facts, common style opponents, etc. to make your case?

 

That's a reasonable argument right there, except all of Vitali's opponents try to fight on the inside and it never really pans out for them. I think Joe would have his moments, maybe even be the first to knock Vitali down from a well placed punch, but VK's too strong and he would bully Joe even if Joe could get inside.

Obviously anything's possible, especially at Heavyweight, but Vitali would time & counter anything Joe threw from the outside in my opinion.

 

......................and let me add that you're not exactly a Klitschko fan by any stretch of the imagination. :yep

In all honesty it's just a bad style matchup for Joe.

 

cant think of a fighter joe frazier fought that even comes close to vitali in size

biggest fighter i can think of was buster mathis and geoege foreman 225 ish , mathis was blubbery big man of about 240 and had a competitive fight with joe but had no power and joe wore him out.

foreman was just to big and powerfull for joe.

joe and ali had a great trilogy and it obviously enhances his reputation.

but is hard to asses joe v a fighter like viatli because we never him fight someone similar.
about 80% of joes wins at heavy were over fighters about the size of tarver .

 

One word:

Styles

 

Come on give me a break!Joe would do very well against Klitshko.KLITSHKO IS A DAMN ZOMBIE OF A FIGHTER.JOE WOULD SEE THOSE PUNCHES COMING A MILE AWAY.I TAKE JOE IN THIS ONE!:smoke

 

I repeat...Vitali Klitschko is not George Foreman.......maybe Vitali could qualify as a sparring partner for Foreman.:roll:

 

Vitali victim Larry Donald would probably beat Frazier. Get real.. Vitali brutalizes Joe.

 

Anyone who has any doubts of outcome needs to watch Vitali-Adamek
