I don't remember saying Bowe avoided Mercer but it is possible. Who says Frazier is not known for his chin ? I think he had a terrific chin. As far as beating Mercer, I said by decision. Is English a language you understand ?
You said bowe was carefully matched and that eddie futch knew bowe doesn't have a good chin so he never fought big punchers like mercer etc... Frazier has a terrific chin, and bowe a bad one? Wow That's why bowe was never stopped, and foreman almost killed frazier.. What about 30 lbs mercer has on frazier? If marciano was instead of frazier, you sure would have mention that...
Joe Frazier was the perfect fighting machine on the night of March 8 1971....and never to be seen again.
a little fatt here ...........his best shape of mercers career was 224 lbs when he foght evander holyfield but against lewis over weight
What you talking about now ? You said Mercer wasn't fat against Lewis. You were calling him "rock solid". You said prime Frazier had a much worse physique. The videos prove you wrong. Mercer was fat at 236 pounds.
Mercer almost certainly took steroids, Frazier almost certainly never did. Either way Frazier hit plenty hard enough to give Mercer a good beating.
Mercer was 200 pounds in the 1988 Olympics, he was already 27 years old. This content is protected He was bigger as a professional. He probably took steroids, yes.
I was never all that impressed with Mercers power. If he couldn't KO Lewis, he ain't KOing Frazier. And he sure as hell isn't outworking him.
