How would a scheduled 12-rounder between Lennox Lewis and Joe Frazier look?

Lewis wasn't very cautious against Botha,Rahman,Briggs,Grant,Golota,Ruddock.
You're right about Foreman pushing Frazier back, he wanted him at the end of his reach, George threw a lot of looping .sweeping hooks then,Lewis didn't,his punches were straighter.

 

Frazier would chop Lewis down.

 

Old Lewis took Vitali's right hands and remained upright.Would Frazier?
How many heavies had/have a chin as good as Ali's?

 

The Jab of Lewis and his uppercut s, would be the key to breaking down Joe. Frazier s coming forward constantly plays in to Lennox s hands. They'd always be a off chance that one of Frazier killer hooks could scramble his opponents brain but I don't see it. As much as I admire "The Smoke ', I see him cut and swollen by round 10 and maybe a Kd or two by Lewis and not long after a weary Joe is stopped by the ref.

 

I can picture this with the Steward-era Lewis...but I see the pre-Steward Lewis dominating Joe the first five or so rounds, with Frazier perhaps suffering a knockdown...but by the sixth the Smoke is up and starting to land the hook. The first time Lennox gets caught completely flush by the left hook he goes down, gets up...but then Joe proceeds to chop him down. Lewis migjht have a one round rally but that would be his last hurrah, chopped down and stopped in 10.

 

Point out where I used the word reckless please. Briggs would hurt Frazier don't worry about that

Lewis got caught flush by Vitali's right hand and never looked like going down, why would he go down from Frazier's hook.Frazier fought ONE puncher of the calibre of Lewis and got used as a yo yo.
Lewis fought a pretty decent collection of bangers Ruddock,Morrison,Tua,Bruno,Tyson, Mercer,Vitali

 

Lewis was knocked stupid by an okay puncher (Rahman) and a better than average puncher (McCall).

Neither of them had Joe's hook.

 

Do you

think Frazier would have survived those two right hands?
I submit that Ruddock,Morrison and Tua all hit harder with their hooks than Frazier did.

 

Would you like to compare the career heaviest ,nearly38 years old Lewis who fought Vitali with the Frazier who fought Cummings?

 

Lennox likes to throw the overhand right.Not a good weapon against Frazier, it won’t land.You know Ali had that quick straight right hand in his arsenal, much different

 

Slow Foreman had no trouble landing on Joe.

 

Joe would eat those, grin and keep shuffling in. Vitali was a strong fighter but he was more of an arm puncher than his brother. Lewis only took Vitali's shots for 6 rounds before catching a break.

 

Perhaps they did hit harder punch for punch. Those guys loaded up looking for an early shower. That's why they lost their A level fights. Frazier as you already know could outwork those guys 3-1 in punch rate. Joe carried his power into the mind and late rounds league's better than Morrison and Ruddock. Tua was able to carry some power late. He didnt expend much energy.
