Joe Frazier vs Razor Ruddock "Primes"

Frazier inside the distance. Those punishing body shots along with the pace he sets are too much for Razor.

 

If Morrison could land his left hook and make the commentator say 'Oh Sh**' Then Frazier would land his and make the commentator say 'Oh F*ck'.

 

I loved watching Smokin Joe fight, but fans might be saying this because he was also decked twice by Oscar Ringo Bonavena on Sept 20 1966, but Joe got up to win on points, he was also learning at this stage of hi career. Frazier always got up unlike Tyson who has stayed down, no excuses about prime.For Joe, you never hear any excuses.

 

Frazier by KO late. Size would only help Ruddock so much. Frazier would outwork him and take over as the fight progressed.

 

Holy **** another Ruddock thread...

 

Shocking isn't it?

 

There is some sort of Razor Ruddock collective conscience at the moment I swear.

 

And Tyson did better than Ali against their common opponents. By your logic Tyson is greater than The Greatest.

 

Frazier might be in some trouble early on but thats it. After that Frazier will show why he's a level or 2 above him

 

I think Markus might have hit it. Ruddock might even knock him down, but Frazier was just a plain better fighter. He certainly wasn't Michael Dokes.

 

I'll agree with that, even tho he redeemed himself against Tyson.

 

This is a war of attrition. Joe would get stung early, rise and fight again. I dont think that RR would be able to handle the ferocity of Joe. Has anyone ever seen a tougher more determined heavyweight machine like Frazier in 71? [ over 15 rounds} He never stops..... Scary. RR gives him a fight but I am not betting against a prime Joe.

 

ko to joe he wasnt tough to single shots shown by oscar

 

The way Frazier ducked down would put him right in line for Razor's smash,I'd expect Joe to hit the floor at least once.Ruddock had a good chin as the Tyson fights have shown,but he was power happy and disdained defence.
He would get a rib roasting from Frazier, and when those muscular arms began to lower to protect his body his chin would get the attention of Joe's hook.If Ruddock boxed a smart tactical fight behind his jab, which was very good ,but seldom employed ,he would make this a bitter struggle for Smoke,but when did Razor ever do that?
I pick Frazier but it's no walk in the park,imo and an upset could occur.
