    Silly. Ingo-Patterson was a bout vs two physically comparable hwts with no major stylistic advantages over one another. Plus it was one fight.

    George had Joes number because he could not outmuscle him, could not rough him up...could not do the only things Joe knew how to do. This is why it would always be no contest. Joe could not handle what George brought to the table. Too big, too strong, too hard a puncher. This is not speculation. They fought twice and both times the result was the same. Fight one Joe fought his style and was KD by the first solid blow and koed in two rounds after five additional KDs. Fight two Joe fought in a completely different style trying to avoid many of the ko blows. However the result was just a 4.5 round brutal beating..... A longer slower beat down instead of a quick one. No scenario changes this. George was just too strong and powerful for Frazier.

    Any one individual blow from George at any time could produce the ko. This does not mean a one punch Mobutu instead that any one blow at any time would do so much damage that it would lead to the bouts ending.

    Oh in several interviews joe frazier added also. I was not afraid of george i would face him once and again what could happen? He will knock me out or i will knock him out...
    The journalist.
    " the people did think that you would be finished in the third fight with ali after your fight with foreman"

    Joe frazier
    " nah.. You know .. Different men.. All that did one of them is talking too much jabing and run... And another one was a big strong guy with a punch like a hammer"

    I have many documentaries

    I don't get Frazier is saying that he never could have beaten George from that.
