    Suppose he challenged Frazier for the title? How does he do?

    Stopped inside 6 rounds especially if he fights Joe in a tiny16ft ring as he did Rocky.Frazier was quicker into range and with his punches,he rips Dons belly until the hands come down, then over comes that hook and the fights stopped.

    Cockell was a slippery ******* for his, lets say, girth, but that's about all he has going for him. Frazier KO/TKO mid rounds

    Don gets absolutely obliterated in this one. He only fought as a podgy Heavyweight in the first place because glandular issues and rheumatic fever had left him unable to shift the fat from his frame. Very good Light-Heavyweight, but nothing more than a makeshift at Heavy on the world stage.

    Frazier TKO between the fourth and sixth rounds.

    I’m split on this one? I mean Frazier has his right arm amputated and it is hard to see a one armed fighter as valiant as that is, actually pull this out. Perhaps if he had another punch but since he never threw a jab in his life and may not have been smart enough to spell it. Combine this with his plastic chin and things don’t look good.

    One arm (horrific accident that led to amputating his right arm)
    One punch (left hook)
    No Jab
    Lowest ring IQ in history
    Plastic chin

    I am not sure he could beat a journeyman TBH. Cockell by 2nd round stoppage

    True enough Birm,but Frazier would be in his element. And he wouldn't struggle like Marciano did to put him away ,he'd rip away like pounding a slab of meat .But yes ,horrible mate no doubt .

    Cockell would have been the British Ron Stander....suffering the same fate as Ronnie boy.
