    Frazier of the Ali fight vs. Joyce of the Parker fight, would the size difference be too much?

    While I think Frazier would struggle with many SHWs cause of their weight and power Joyce would be one of the ones he would probably beat without too many issues just because Joyce's style would not to well against Frazier

    I’m curious, how come? A huge, durable combination puncher with solid power as well as a top level gas tank and workrate, who never stops coming forward, seems like a bad matchup for an undersized swarmer like Frazier.

    Frazier would relentlessly attack Joyce to head and body into a mid to late corner stool stoppage.

    Even when Joyce was in his prime chin era he struggled with body shots, and of course he hates that left hook.

    Frazier UD or late TKO

    Frazier was all about non stop pressure, and that devastating left hook that Joyce would struggle with. Joyce is strong fella with a good chin, but his slower pace plays right into Frazier’s hands. I’d back Frazier to wear him down and win on points, or maybe by late TKO.
