Joe Walcott vs Joe Frazier, 15 rounds

I have read that Joe took up boxing as a means to lose weight as a 250 lb teenager. He must have been a real butter ball as a kid though seeing as he was built like a tank at 205-10.

 

Walcott would probably drop Frazier and cause him problems but I think Frazier stops him late.

 

Frazier wins in 10.

 

Frazier in the middle rounds. I don't see Walcott knocking him down either.

And if Walcott comes out aggressively and tries to go toe-to-toe like he did against Marciano, Frazier stops him earlier.

 

Walcott does some cute moves, but Joe overwhelms him through sheer doggedness. Ref stops the fight after a few knockdowns in the 8th.

 

Frazier hunts Walcott down, wreck him with in 10 rds. And unlike Marciano, Frazier after the 1st couple rds, would be smoking by the 5th and ahead on the cards because of his relentless pressure.
By the 9th or 10th rd. Either Frazier lays Walcott out, or the ref would've seen enough and save Walcott from himself and the beat down.

 

You're talking nonsense natural 220-230lbs?Joe Fraizer was soft bodied start to finish at about 15% bodyfat he was narrow and small boned with alot of mass see him dwarfed next to foreman in size at the same weight (not height) and tell me he was a large framed man.

Walcott was lean and nearly had as much mass which tells me he was absolutely the more muscular of the two...

 

Since today i will ignore every single one of your posts

 

This for me too

 

Aren't you a sulk I'm sorry that Fraizer wasn't some broad Olympic God he is however one of my favorite heavyweights regardless of his bone structure jeez man.

I'd just like to add that you also seem to care alot about Fraizers body... can i ask why?

 

Yeah exactly! i don't know why he is ignoring me over Joes shoulder width i rather liked him seems a little odd...

 

My view as well.
Cheers.

 

I do disagree that Frazier was a particularly small heavyweight. Like Norton, he bent down a LOT, which made him appear smaller right off.

I also think Joe's tree trunk legs had a lot to do with his power. He didn't have a whole bunch of upper body strength. Watch his greatest hooks, he's definitely bending his knees, those shots came up from his feet. Just a picture perfect hook.

He even lept in with his left foot more than once while throwing the hook, watch the Ali knockdown, the whole side of his body was in that punch.
