    I have Glover on my ignore list but let me guess.

    He says Frazier would be stopped SOON.
    Bowe is too big etc. etc.
    Same **** as always.

    There are posters I disagree with way more but Glover is so predictable I don't even need to spend time reading his posts

    My heart says frazier here, my my head say that maybe bowe would have been too big and tough.(THE PEAK 92 VERSION OF BOWE, FRAZIER WOULD KICK THE ASS OF THE FAT BOWE WHO FACED GOLOTA, BOWE WAS IN SHAPE AT 227-235 POUNDS)

    I don't see Bowe pulling a Foreman ruthless 2 round domination.
    I believe Bowe starts pumping the jab and unloads on the inside.
    Joe gets dropped a fes times, then starts smoking. Joe is getting
    dominated then Bowe tires around the 12th and Frazier starts
    coming on stronger with body work, Bowe is exhausted, but
    fights like the warrior he is. Bowe UD 15.

    me neither, foreman had another style, he was more aggressive, he was physically more powerful than bowe, he was a heavier puncher. and a faster starter

    Yes, but even worse than the usual non-sensical drivel he poops out. He calls Frazier a "freebie" and a "punching bag piniata of fame and glory that is just there for the taking for anybody with enough punch power to exploit him."

    Trolling at its finest.

    Frazier too consistent in performance, I think. No knockout probably for Frazier, but at some point later, Bowe fails at keeping the pace, and that's the difference.

    Frazier W15 Bowe

    This is in literally every pick ever. I've never seen Southpaw envision a decision. :lol:

    Frazier's workrate was phenomenal but Bowe's size, power and range are too obvious to dismiss. As someone mentioned earlier, JF has a chance only if Bowe lets him in. Otherwise, this is a Hearns-Duran kind of affair...IMHO. Maybe not ending in two rounds, but, given the respective styles, I see Frazier taking far too many hits to last.

    Bowe's size would be negated a bit because of his reliance on inside fighting.
    Same goes for his range.

    Bowe has the physical tools to "just stomp on Frazier", but his skillset wasn't meant for guys smaller than him.
    Bowe was there to be hit, Bowe was there to be fought inside and fighting smaller less taller men on the inside isn't optimal.

    Bowe could beat him easily if he had the skills of Ricardo Lopez and a straight right but he's Bowe and will do things his way even if it causes more harm than needed.

    I think it's funny that Bowe never learned to throw a straight right, even Frazier could...

    Foreman was a WAY harder puncher here..And just the wrong style for Bowe..Foreman was too aggressive..

    If everybody ignores the man, I won't ever have to see others quoting his posts.

    If you want to read what Glover thinks in a way less ******ed but still flawed way:
    [url]http://www.heavyweightblog.com/[/url]

    Once you've read 2 or 3 articles on the site you will know exactly what Glover has to say so you can safely ignore him without fear of missing something.

    Except "Frazier was a pinata of fame" that's one heck of a funny quote. :lol:

    I personally don't like ignoring others but when they say the same **** constantly and you can read that **** in a less shitty way on a shitty blog far away from esb, ignoring is simply the better solution.
