    I still don’t think Ron Lyle ( who I know is a heavy handed puncher ) in 1974 can beat the Joe Frazier who showed up against bugner and Ellis and quarry rematch Joe Frazier wins via 12 rd Dec over Ron Ron Lyle.!!!

    I agree though Frazier is not a lock in 1974. Maybe 3-1 on for mine.

    I agree. Six months after Jerry knocked out Ernie Shavers in one round, Frazier was still too much for him. And Joe rolled over Ellis, too. He was past his best but still formidable.
