Max Baer vs joe frazier

The guy Baer beat for the title was a Mobbed up creatiom that couldnt of ever come close to it on his own merit.

 

I disagree.

I think that Carnera did win the title on his own merit, and while he was nowhere near as good as Frazier, he was probably a lot stronger physically.

 

Carnera was most likely stronger than Baer. Stopping Frazier from fighting his kind of fight (trench warfare) was not as easy as it appeared. As a many of his oppoments learned.

 

The strongest man whoever boxed was Paul Anderson the weight lifter,he was absolutely useless.

 

Undefeated Joe Frazier retained his share of the world heavyweight title by hammering and chopping his way to a lopsided decision over awkward but bull strong Oscar Bonavena of Argentina in a foul-packed 15-rounder at the Spectrum Tuesday night. The 3-1 favored Philadelphian hit the 26-year-old South American with everything he had throughout the scrap but couldn't drop the strong-jawed, bloodied challenger who went the limit with Frazier for the second time. Frazier, 203 pounds to Bonavena's 207, opened cuts over both of Bonavena's eyes, on the bridge of his nose and raised lumps on Oscar's face with his relentless pounding. ... Bonavena, fighting most of the way with his back to the ropes and his hands held high in a peek-a-boo defense, absorbed a fierce pounding to the head and body as he apparently waited to get home one big bomb. He never came close. The clumsy, muscular Argentine was warned for low blows in four rounds—the third, eighth, 10th and 12th, and he lost the eighth by penalty from the referee. ... The flat-footed challenger fought back only in flurries until late in the fight. He kept trying to nail Joe with a big punch but he was wild most of the time and when he did land a good punch, it didn't seem to bother the champion. - Associated Press
