    FOTC Frazier by UD, with one judge giving it to him by one point.

    Frazier would be Smokin right on him. Holmes would have to fight Joe off him. Larry doesn't have the firepower.
    It would be a tough bout as long as it went. Joe Frazier would hurt Larry Holmes without question. His hook was like a whip. Larry would be hardpressed to back Joe up.
    I don't think Holmes was as strong as Ali or even hit as hard. Ali was just a more gifted athlete than Holmes. Larry is a greater fighter than Frazier but he doesn't matchup that well with Smokey.
    1st fight Joe probably stops Holmes late or wins a clear UD.
