How athletic was Joe Frazier?

He was built like a tank - Get over it.

And, no, a Boxer CANNOT be the most athletic of all the sports; you idiot.

 

so...usain bolt...boxing would be no problem to him ?

 

You really do talk rubbish.

Boxing is FAMOUS for being a sport with both feet in the past when it comes to training/fitness/new ideas. Jesus, Boxers still do sit-ups and crunches!

Cyclists, Iron Men have MUCH BIGGER V02 Max outputs than Boxers. As do Biathlon competitors. Boxers are NOT the fittest of the fit.

 

Stupid thread.

It goes without saying that Frazier was a great athlete.

You don't win a gold medal in the olympics being anything less.

To be fighting fit requires an insane level of fitness and athleticism.

Anybody who says it doesn't is an authentic dumbass.

There isn't a single HW around today who could maintain a pace similar to Frazier over 15 rounds.

 

And now your the opposite end of the spectrum!

Fraziers energy output isn't anywhere NEAR a modern boxers.

Of course Frazier might outperform on a punch stat, look at the bloody size of him!

Chris Arreola, another tub rivals Frazier on punch stats but he weighs 240 friggin lbs!

 

Arreola swings for the fences and isn't very fast.

Fraziers was bob n waeving , constant upper body movement along with throwing fast combinations is far more physically demanding.
And thats all without recieving a single punch.

 

Let's see ANY other athlete attempt to do what Frazier did in the FOTC................no??? I rest my case.

 

Let's see Fraizer complete and Iron-Man...

 

Elroy banned?

Say it isn't so!

 

Elroy's posts were entertaining in a so-bad-it's-good way. I seem to remember him calling Frazier a feather fist!

 

Good. My scroll wheel was working overtime with him on board. I'm sure he'll be back under another name soon enough. He'll be easy to spot luckily, because he can only talk about one thing.

 

lol

 

No, they were horrible. It's one thing to take a position counter in some degree to the current of the board but another to just be dip****.

 

Thats because Elroy cant think for himself but im so happy to see people are finally exposing him for the joke that he is. Good for you my man!! And yes Aquamarine IS Elroy!! The powers that be need to do something about this idiot! :good

 

I didnt agree with anything elroy said....but I wouldnt have wished him banned
