    You're a moron trying to pass yourself off as a troll. It's not working.

    No and I doubt there are many heavyweights who could if any. I wouldn't even pick Dempsey or Marciano to keep up with that schedule.

    The tread is does Frazier make it to 25 undefeated if he was louis, he didn' fight braddock or Walcott anytime before 25, his 25th fight was against schmeling, how about you brush up on your history and read the thread next time before you embarrass yourself again

    Alright cobra, i can admit when I'm wrong, i miss read the thread and got confused about the thread being about his 25th fight and first loss against schmeling instead of his 25th title defence. My bad.

    This is pretty much my take too.

    People are making their opinions on a Frazier who was basically finished after the FOTC, that bout knocked the stuffing out of him. This was not a poor pinky, he damn near died for crying out loud. I can't see any fighter causing that sustained damage to Frazier, he stays at his peak for much longer and mops up Louis' opponents.

    I only see one or two SHWs in his path, so all clear.

    If one fighter did that to him, even a great one, then it does not bode well for his chances of matching Louis's absurd schedule.

    Chances are that it becomes a problem, before he even gets to the title!

    That one fighter being arguably the GOAT is kind of a big deal in that matter, there's nobody on that rota that could that to Joe Frazier IMO.

    It is not going to turn on one fighter being able to do it.

    It is just going to be one damaging war after another.

    These men were not as great as Ali, but they were still heavyweights, and many of them hit a lot harder than Ali.

    The only way that Louis was able to do what he did, was by beating most of his opponents, while taking relatively little damage.
