    George Foreman of the 1972 Ted Gullick fight, against Smokin' Joe Frazier of the 1970 Bob Foster fight.

    Same outcome as the 1973 Foreman fight with Frazier? I wonder.

    Foreman knocks the **** out of him again. Only this time it takes him slightly longer to do it.

    Joe walks into something around the fifth, goes down hard.

    Gets steamrollered when he gets up. Goes down again.

    Gets up, gets put down again.


    Repeat till somebody saves Smoke from himself.

    George looks quick (for him) in that fight.

    I pick Frazier, at his best he did not miss. It would have to be the peak joe frazier and he would have to land first and not miss.

    Frazier lasts a few rounds longer & has some good competitive moments, but once George gets Joe badly hurt with a flush bomb, he'll visit the canvas multiple times & be soon saved by the ref. To put it simply, Frazier could never take Foreman's raw power, but at least here he'll be an elusive target & have better timing & handspeed to land some of his own punches, before he gets tagged hard with a killer shot which brutally discombobulates him.
