Prime Frazier vs Prime Max Baer

I think Baer would nail Frazier with a big right hand and force a stoppage from behind. Frazier couldn't fight going backwards and Baer is just too vicious and powerful.

Maybe Frazier could make Baer quit like Louis did with his body shots but a motivated Baer was an animal with a mammoth chin.

 

I think Baer would find it difficult to nail Frazier with his over hand right, but if he could ,Joe would go down,if he survives the early rocky moments, the balance of the fight would probably turn in his favour, but the Max of the Schmeling fight could stop him.

 

Agreed. Well said

 

I think Frazier's bobbing and weaving would make Max miss badly, and then Joe would tear him up on the inside. Joe Frazier is simply far more talented than Max Baer.

 

Baer never reached his full potential. He clowned way too often and was sloppy. I think Joe would win but not easy.

 

Agree

 

Joe has too much stamina over 15 rounds. Frazier UD.

 

On paper Baer should win, but it is easy to see him finding a way to lose.

He didn’t always put away pressure fighters the way he should have.

 

Guys Baer is ridiculously over rated .. I don't see him lasting six rounds against Frazier .. he gets him way too often ...

 

No he is underrated, but don’t worry, it is all his own fault!

 

IMO, Baer would wreck him with that devastating right hand of his.

 

frazier stops baer ,but he would get up after 2 knock downS

 

The only punch Frazier was vulnerable to was the uppercut. I don't see how an overhand right plays to Baer's advantage in this instance. Frazier by tko.

 

To be fair it was mainly Foreman’s right that won it for him.
