    Can you please explain why the shocking athlete Joe Frazier could fight hard for 15 rounds while superman himself, the greatest of all time Wladamir Klitschko couldn't go 6 rounds without falling about like Bambi on ice??? :lol::lol:

    This makes the most sense.

    Frazier focused on his calling and all his athleticism tailored itself entirely within that one format making a real fighting machine.

    Some fighters make good all round athletes. Some athletes make great fighting machines. Frazier was a fighting machine.

    Eddie Futch said Frazier had the worst body type he's ever worked with.

    Boxers are not that athletic. Gymnasts are much more versatile.

    Besides, Boxers aren't the fittest or the most athletic athletes anyway.

    Cyclists, Iron-Man competitors, Triathletes, Gymnasts etc are all much more fitter and versatile.

    Joe was a freak, IMO. He had AMAZING cardio for a man that was built like a tank and was a HW.
