Joe Frazier vs. Late 60's & all 70's big punchers

After Manilla I give Ken a good chance against Joe.

 

I'd favor Frazier in all those match ups.. I'd give Liston in his prime a solid shot of beating Frazier but by 1969 I don't think Liston would have nearly enough to deal with Frazier. I could see Shavers, Lyle, Foster or, an old Liston putting Frazier down once or twice but Frazier had great re cooperative powers and I believe Frazier would get back and likely end up stopping whoever later on in the bout.

 

Liston, Lyle, and Shavers KO Frazier, he beats the rest. Mac Foster could score a knockdown, but Frazier would stop him, IMO.

 

He beats all of them. Lyle or Shavers could floor him, but he wouldn't be down for long. Prime Liston would beat him, but by the time the fight could have realistically happened, Sonny had declined too much.

 

Gotta favor a prime Frazier over most of the HW's listed. The only 2 that I think I would favor over him would be Liston and Foreman. I don't see any HW taking Joe out with 1 shot tho. Foreman landed bunker busters on him and Frazier kept getting up....and that was a clearly undertrained, overweight and overconfident Frazier so i don't see anyone taking out a prime motivated Frazier easily....if at all. That Frazier

 

was one tough SOB....sorry for the fractured post.
