Joe Frazier vs Riddick Bowe

Frazier is the better fighter and so i will go for him.People on here get carried away by size

 

Peculiar statement to say the least. Throughout their careers, only one of them was notorious for being a sitting dick.... and it certainly wasn't Frazier.

 

Sure, but Frazier would still be in the line of fire for Bowe's uppercuts. The uppercut was Foreman's key to victory and while Bowe's uppercuts may not have had as much raw power, they were still pretty powerful.

 

1. That was '73 Frazier who was past his prime somewhat.

2. Frazier actually made Foreman miss a decent number of uppercuts before Foreman started manhandling him which wasn't Bowe's style.

3. Foreman's uppercuts were very unique technique, and angle wise. Frazier otherwise, was very excellent at avoiding and countering uppercuts. It was actually this very punch, that Frazier countered en route to his infamous KD of Ali.

4. Foreman was no Willie Pep, but even he had a much better defense than Bowe.

5. Foreman shook off some pretty decent hooks from Frazier like they were nothing. Bowe never proved his chin was anywhere near as good. Actually his bouts with Golota indicated the opposite.

 

i agree with the first 4 but golota did not stop bowe, and bowe made him quit twice.(granted golota was not a pillar of resiliance)

 

This is a hard one But I would lean towards Bowe by ko

 

There are good fighters and there are great fighters. And, Frazier was great.

 

Your innocent typo reminded me of my visit to the doctors last week, Swag.

"You've got to stop masturbsting" my doctor advised.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I'm trying to examine you"

 

Yeah but Frazier is going to be coming forward into Bowe. No way Bowe is going to miss all those uppercuts. I think Bowe will land, at least often enough. Bowe was a more accurate and sharper puncher than Foreman. Ali also managed to land a good deal of jabs and right crosses on Frazier. Bowe, though not as quick of hand as Ali, also wasn't slow. He was faster than Foreman. I would lean towards Bowe

 

Ignore my sometimes Bowe avy and tbh I have criticisms of him often. If anything sum might think of me as a Bowe hater which is entirely the opposite lol.


The Foreman fight ruined Fraziers H2H ranking but at the same time Bowe never fought the opposition that Frazier did either. Fraziers activity could trouble Bowe plus imho he hits harder than Holyfield who was able to hurt Bowe. I know, Bowe is good inside but he never fought someone Frazier good. Uppercuts could work well for Bowe but I don't think Bowe had the power to trouble Frazier like Foreman. Few did/do lol.

I see a late rds stoppage for either. Hard for me to decide.

 

I was hoping you added the Draw option. Everything looks pretty even so far on the poll.
Great matchup.
