Frazier vs. Marciano

Very close. Marciano had better two fisted power, but Frazier was bigger, a bit faster and a bit more accurate. Stamina-wise they're very even, but Marciano probably has the better chin.

I think Frazier's advantages in size, speed and accuracy might make the difference, though. But very hard to say.

 

I think Frazier would beat Marciano pretty badly. He was quicker than Marciano, and I think Frazier's left hook was a harder punch than Rocky's right. And I'm pretty positive that Frazier had the better chin. He walked straight through Foster's best punches without getting hurt, and Foster punches every bit as hard, if not harder than Moore. I say Frazier would likely stop the Rock on cuts.

 

I think Marciano would take it by a very close decision. Both fighters got much stronger and increased their workrates starting in the middle rounds, but I think Marciano was stronger, and hit harder than Frazier, and I think he would outslug him. By the end both men would probably hit the canvas, and both would be very swollen and bloody. This would have been a great fight.

 

ill take a prime frazier

 

next thread is Louis vs Ali

 

I'd take Frazier neither fighter would be the same after.

 

Frazier TKO7.

 

Frazier wins by TKO in round 10. They have nice power but Frazier has greater handspeed, accuracy, head movement and timing. It will be a pretty even fight up until the later rounds where the stronger and bigger Frazier starts to come on.

 

I get the feeling this fight wouldn't really go that long. Both have remarkable consistency of style and after a few bloody exchanges I believe Marciano's two fisted knockout power would take a toll. I can almost see their heads colliding in a brawl at about the time Marciano knocks Frazier out.

But there would be mighty action from the start.

 

I think whiskers would be important. I liked watching both fighters, but I don't think Joe would see round 5 in this one. Marciano, although surprisingly banged up in such a short fight, would win by KO around the 4th, in my opinion.

 

This would be a great war! My personal bias my cloud my judgement, but I would lean towards frazier. I could reasonably fathom either guy getting stopped late, but both had good stamina. I would envision this going the distance and Frazier nipping a decision. Although I rate Marciano ahead in a ratings list, I would narrowly favor Joe in a H2H encounter...although I wouldn't be comfortable placing money on it either!!!

 

Great fight, which I don't think will go the distance, unless both guys get too beaten up to end it. I lean a little to Marciano by KO, round six or after. A Frazier win would probably be either a cuts stoppage or a round six to eight TKO.
I think whoever looses will none-the-less look like a formidable fighter.

 

Frazier.

Equal will. Equally difficult to land clean on. Both true 15 round fighters. Both relentless, with comaprable workrates.

Frazier doesn't mark up badly, at all, eliminating him being stopped by TKO a majority of the time.

Frazier is larger, and more refined.

Frazier CAN box to some degree, and has an underrated jab.

Frazier is better to the body.
