  3. clay didn't thro tht many uppercuts against the overrated midget Joe Frazier bc he learned after getting knocked out by Cooper.

    If only Frazier had Coopers left
    hook,
    Frazier wud have stopped clay easy in all "3" fights

    He threw lots of uppercuts . He wasn't countered cause he almost always followed his rt uppercut with his own lf hook. He also threw combos. To fast for Frazier

    i seem to remember he threw a fair amount..althoug ha right upper cut against a guy like fraizer is pretty dangerous because you can get hit with the counter lefthook.

    Eddie Futch based some of Frazier's strategy around the fact that Ali didn't throw proper uppercuts. That "hookercut" you are referring to really is the only type of uppercut Ali threw.

    Yep. Ali's attempt to throw an uppercut is what got him floored by Frazier in the 15th round. The moment Ali's right hand dropped to throw it, Frazier sprung off the canvas and exploded with his hook.
