1977 Jimmy Young vs 1971 Joe Frazier

lol

And I was getting so comfy.

 

Young's style is not to get KO'd.

 

May 29, 1974 Joe sent Jimmy Young & "SCRAP IRON" Johnson to the hospital in the same Ambulance.

 

sorry 'bout that

 

please elaborate

 

Except by Frazier lol..But honestly were all entitled to our opinions on these hypothetical fights. Not looking for an argument my man.

 

If Foreman and Lyle couldn't knock him out, and Dokes and Cooney couldn't knock out the not-so-formidable version of Young, why do you think Joe Frazier could knock him out? with respect to Frazier's punching power

 

It's the relentless pressure. Youngs pace was too slow to deal with Joe's pressure
Joe was the greatest pressure/swarmer I ever saw. Just relentless.

 

Norton applied the same type of pressure and walked away with a razor-thin split decision (I realize Kenny doesn't hit quite as hard as Joe)

 

Nortons pressure couldnt hold a candle to prime Frazier. Watch the Ellis fights Quarry fights. Anything from the 60's up to FOTC.
2nd Quarry is a good one to watch too.

 

Frazier did not have the hardest left hook,what he had was the abilty to throw it all night ,to fire and reload and fire again incessantly . He would wear Young down imo,slow him to a walk and then its a very bad scenario for Jimmy .

 

If Bugner can survive Frazier, so can Young.

 

Frazier smokes him. Cute boxers against Frazier were easy money. Ezzard Charles or Young against Joe would be like a cat running from a pitbull

 

Yes! I was just rewatching the 2 Quarry fights. The first fight they showed a couple angles where the camera man was looking up when Joe had Jerry on the ropes and the way Joe was reloading that hook was better than any HW in history IMO

 

Were talking prime Frazier arent we. Dont know go down another road.
