    What I don't get is the misconception of Frazier being easy to hit.
    For a fighter as aggressive as he was , he was exceptional
    defensively , very hard to hit cleanly. The fastest heavyweight in history
    said the same in one of of his many interviews about him.
    If Ali had difficulties hitting Frazier cleanly imagine the problems
    a much slower fighter would have....

    Rocky Marciano. Frazier definitely beats him and btw what hard punching fighter, still in his prime, did Rocky ever beat?

    Not many bigger punchers than Shavers, if any, ever. & Frazier smokes him like a cigar.

    Frazier had exceptional head movement. Chuvalo said Frazier had the best defense of all fighters he fought. My criticism would be he did not vary his defense via parrying, blocking etc. Doing the same thing over and over and not varying lends itself to being timed.

    I never use the word definitely when it comes to predicting the outcomes of fights.
