FOTC Joe Frazier vs. George Foreman (of Sunshine Showdown)

Prime for prime. Two monstrous-punching beasts. Who takes it and when?

 

a little surprised at your prediction

 

Even if Foreman would knock out Frazier (which is not unlikely), I would think this would be a very two-sided and brutal war.

 

C'mon, FOTC Frazier could take anything. While I still have Foreman a slight favorite, I think Frazier would hurt Foreman a lot more than he did in their real fights.

 

Ali was 6'3" and Frazier caught him plenty. Frazier beat lots of tall guys. Mathis-6'3", Ramos-6'4", Bugner-6'4". Frazier was not limited by height. Bonavena was the only notable fighter that Frazier fought who was smaller than he was (and that was only by half an inch). You're right though, it was the right that Foreman was vulnerable to.

 

I haven't liked this. They need "hate" buttons on this site, so I could hate your comment here.

 

I know styles make fights, and I still think Foreman would win, it would just be more two-sided than you think.
Mathis not a one-trick pony. A good boxer and a fair puncher.
I've wished for years that Lyle and Frazier had fought, so send me the film, or the link to it.
Sure Bonavena was wider, and bigger overall, but he was not taller.

 

I agree about styles, I just don't see how the Frazier of Kingston, Jamaica got beat up and he was past it. How can the same Foreman beat a Frazier that was hundreds times better just as bad?
