    We all know Frazier is infamous for his left hook, and he also had a good right hand to the body. However his right cross to the head was mediocre and often non existent. If he had a great right cross with his left hook, surely he would have been even more successful than he was he was and overall better H2H all time.

    True.

    I guess it depends on how good it was. If he had a right hand on par with his lefthook then anything is possible. As it was Joe did occasionally land some solid right hands but he wasn't natural throwing it.

    Left was too good for it, I guess.

    The strange thing was Joe was naturally right handed.
