Evander Holyfield vs Joe Frazier

I picked Frazier Decision only to credit Holy's chin and heart, stylistically i think Frazier has him beat. It'd be trench warfare and Frazier would paint the ring with sharp, relentless, powerful hooks and uppercuts on the inside. Possibly causing a referee stoppage in the late rounds. However its not so farfetched to predict Holy hanging in there with discouraging power shots of his own and quite abit of grappling, then Frazier tiring late on and Holyfield finishing him. But if it goes the distance i say clear UD for Frazier.

I think Evander beats Frazier up similar to how he beat up Tyson.

 

prime heavyweight Frazier is a different animal to 1996 Tyson. He'd be trying to take more than just an ear off

 

I'm going with Evander in this match, but it wouldn't be an easy win for him...in my opinion.

 

I think Joe would beat him. I see Joe digging in his usual vicious body shots and wacking the head a few times too. Evander would very game though, and keep it a very competitive fight, probably landing some hard combinations that might back Joe up.

 

That's a massive insult to Joe, 1967-1971 Frazier is significantly better than the 1996 Tyson from Holyfield I.
Yes Holyfield can win this fight, but Frazier will put him through hell with relentless bobbing pressure, Eddie Futch should be an important factor too.
Frazier UD.

 

Evander Holyfield UD...

Evander Holyfield could etheir slug it out with Joe Fraizer, or out box him like Muhammad Ali did in Al vs Fraizer II...!

Joe Fraizer was great at what he did, but he was slightly one demensional...

Evander Holyfield was'nt thats the ****ing difference...!!!!!!

 

Yeah, I totally agree. Frazier was a much better infighter than Tyson. Frazier was a pitbull and would absolutely NEVER quit. I think that Holyfield would be troubled by Frazier's awkward aggressive style and would have trouble hitting him early in the fight. However, Holyfield would not quit either. If he could find the range with Frazier, you might have one of the best slugfests in history. I don't see either of them being knocked out.

 

Joe would get under Evander and pummel his body. Frazier didn't like dealing with opponents his own height, because they could get below his shots. No problem with Holyfield. Evander would have his moments, but he's not outworking Joe.

 

I agree, Frazier by decision in a war.

 

I see `Smokin` Joe coming out on top in this one, UD or maybe late stoppage. You needed to be Ali or a BIG puncher to get Joe. Holy, while a true warrior, wouldn`t be able to keep Joe fom Smokin... He damn sure couldn`t beat him on the inside, Bowe tore up Holy inside. And practically noone did it better on the inside than Frazier. Frazier was always in tip top shape, and couls `smoke` for the whole 15. This would be an unbelieveable fight, a true crowd pleaser. It would be nip and tcuk, with Evander having plenty of moments in this one. Please don`t compare how Holy fought Tyson. Tyson, if he couldn`t run through you, would sometimes check out mentally when it got tough. And thats why Holy could break him. Not so with Frazier, who RELISHED getting into a good fight. Great close fight all the way, tremendous work rate inside by Frazier, which takes some gas out of Holy down the stretch... Frazier UD, or late stoppage. Don`t foget Frazier could get it done late too, he dropped Ali in the 15th rd of a tough grueling war. I just can`t see Holy beating `71` edition Frazier...

 

I like Frazier.

What a fight though.
