Frazier vs punchers gauntlet

Frazier was floored by Michael Bruce in his 2nd pro fight

 

Yep, dropped him to his knees.

Agreed. Louis would get to Frazier. There's no way Frazier could take his power.

 

Do you think Frazier ducked Liston 1966-1968?

 

I think Joe goes 6-4, outside 7-3 chance

 

Probably, if Louis is at the top of his game and properly prepared for Frazier's tactics.

 

Frazier said in his prime only 2 heavyweights would have beaten him Louis and Marciano and I agree with him but these fights would be wars while they lasted and guys possibly hitting the deck

Frazier would beat Lyle and comeback Foreman, the rest is kind of 50-50 but we are talking about the FOTC Frazier. Frazier could chop down Liston,Bowe and Vlad but Lewis may be tough to get past and a prime Tyson may start too quick

Dempsey-Frazier would be a dream fight with lots of action also 50-50

Frazier fought coming forward and because of his aggression he could be hit but even when he was a somewhat shot fighter vs Foreman he never got KO'd

Biggest problem with Frazier was after beating Ali his life changed and was never able to fight in that form - short prime

 

There was nobody, and I mean nobody, who was tougher than Smokin' Joe. Even when his chin gave out, his heart never did.

That said, I'd pick Louis to win against him but the ones I'd really love to watch would be the fights against Dempsey and Marciano. Those are pick 'em fights and guaranteed wars.
