Lennox Lewis vs Joe Frazier

Yes. top15 .For me.

 

Frazier Chest 42" Tua 49.5"
ex 44" 51,75"
Neck17" 19"
Biceps 15" 19.5"
Thigh 26" 30"
Calf 13" 19.5"

Nothing in it really.lol

 

Frazier in his absolute prime for FOTC was.205.5lbs Tua weighed 225lbs when he was 23 years old!
You are beginning to resemble Choklab here!

 

Concur ^. Lewis just too big.

 

Oh, in that case, Tua's bigger than Foreman.

 

In the body he clearly is!

 

Ok.

 

Frazier may be my favorite heavyweight, but I agree Lewis is a combination of too big and too skilled.

Definitely hit hard enough to rattle Frazier.

I don't see Frazier getting much momentum here.

Lewis ends up landing uppercuts or a big right hand.

 

This is it. At some stage even in caution mode he would land the big one with Frazier constantly pressing and it's all downhill from there. There's also a good chance Steward tells him to go out and get Frazier's respect early, particularly with Frazier being a slow starter. Lewis by stoppage either early of mid rounds.

 

A good point, well made. However, I think the ultra dynamic 1969 to 1970 Frazier would reach the chins of a few greats. And I think the shot which floored Ali in 71 would KO almost any other fighter. (I'm not just hating on Lennox's chin here, as many like to do).
I'd only pick Foreman, Ali, or Liston to beat Lewis consistently. But I see Joe knocking him out in their first meeting, at least. I've noticed I do rate Lewis a bit lower than most.

 

Ali was dropped in the 15th round of an incredibly gruelling fight. He was also caught while throwing his own punch. I don't think the punch was anything special power wise as to anything else Frazier throws. The timing was perfect however which led to the result, for me anyway.

 

Question needs to be asked, if Tyson couldn't do jack to Lewis, how can Frazier?

 

I'm leaning towards Lennox but FOTC Frazier is a tough ask for any heavyweight ever.

60-40 Lewis takes it.
