Lennox Lewis 1997 vs Joe Frazier 1971

Frazier lacks the punch resistance,and that will always be his downfall against the big bangers.Fortunately for him,he had a good team around him that protected him from being exposed earlier than when he eventually was.

Foreman has said alot of complimentary things to certain boxers over the last two decades or so.Most have learned to take what he says with a pinch of salt these days.

 

Lewis by early KO, he's everything Foreman has minus the workrate, but is faster, more accurate and technically better

 

You're in a good mood today. Normally you come back with harsh criticisms and insults. Good for you, I am impressed.

George actually praised Joe after his performance in Manilla. This is one of the reasons why he didn't want to fight him a second time in Uniondale. It took Joe Louis to convince George that Frazier didn't have anything left which was more closer to the truth. The road to a rematch with Ali means beating Frazier a second time and he did. Losing to Jimmy Young hurt him though.

Prime Frazier still take Lewis out before the late rounds, 10 or 11 IMO. Just my opinion.
