    Just a relentless machine in his prime. It doesn't matter how many times I see him fight, that left hook was shockingly brutal.

    You think there was a better bodypuncher in the history of the division McGrain?

    Makes a pleasant change from all the awful rap on some of these videos. I don't want to be watching prime Liston or whoever, and hearing "mother****er", "*****" and whatever else constantly.

    That video also shows Quarry's durability, for better or for worse.

    Amazing video.

    Joe was truly a fighting man in every sense of the word. Will we ever see his like again?

    Fantastic vide, fantastic fighter.

    I can't believe where Foster was holding his right hand in this. Suicide.

    Brilliant video. I just love watching Frazier fight, he's one of my favourites. That double left hook... Young Tyson much have watched that more than a couple of times.

    All in? Sure. I mean there are other guys that hit harder put he's on you and he's working up and down. The way he used body punching in combintion with how hard he hit, his style, yeah, I think he'd be #1.

    I think he's the most fundamental in terms of style of all the great HW's, more so, even than Tyson or Foreman. You knew what he was going to do and he was so good at it. It must have been horrible standing in the opposite corner waiting for the first bell knowng what you were in for.

    who was better tyson or frazier ? i'd say they were quite close in styles but tyson had the edge in speed and power. both ATG's anyway .

    Frazier was better for me, but i'd expect Tyson to beat Frazier on styles. But Tyson isn't beating Ali, for example and Joe isn't losing to Hollyfield. Joe is close to 50.50 or above against anyone who doesn't blow him out, and not a lot of guys would blow him out.
