Joe Frazier vs Harry Wills/Sam Langford/Jack Johson

Like Ali, Eubank would be near impossible to properly portray, the man is a British icon. Hell give Eubank the job of playing himself he still looks 25 today and I'm certain he'd love to see himself on the big screen

 

You quoted too early. Later on I named Wills as one of the big, skilled guys he KO'd (but who more often KO'd him to be fair) and Godfrey falls into this category as well. But against these guys he didn't have many KO's seen to the number of times he fought them.

 

You interpreted me far too literally. I was just making a point that it is generally far easier to KO a guy with high skills than low skills. It was not in any way meant to call Langford's opponents novices. That would be insane.

But against the top HWs of his day Langford's KO record is not far from 1/10 it seems. Guys with far better KO ratios than that against more modern HWs did not manage to KO Frazier. Frazier wasn't easy to KO.

 

I still say Wills is over-played by many historians.......... Just not enough proof caught on film to prove his true talent and greatness............ STILL! I will buy into that he was a legit force to be dealt with in the 1920s.........
