Smokin Joe Frazier vs Oleksandr Usyk

Briedis really gets underrated on this forum.

 

Usyk doesn’t possess Foreman’s strength and power.

 

It appears that Mike, Holmes and Frazier do too.

 

I have to agree.

I do like Frazier and he was in fact an overachiever. But he also gets vastly overrated and he was probably also chinny. The one good puncher he faced absolutely demolished him and he was hurt against lesser punchers like Ali and Bonavena. I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility that Usyk would have stopped him late in the fight.

 

He makes up for being smaller by being 10 times better than Chisora.

 

Different fighters altogether.

 

Boxing, the only sport in the entire world where athletes dont get better...

Usyk destroys Frazier with one hand tied behind his back

 

I'd put my money on FotC Frazier with Futch in his corner. Those ATG fights could always go either way though.

 

It’s about styles you fool.

I love the “The fighter’s keep getting better and better over time” brigade.

It’s so amusing.

Especially when they’re fans of guys like Mayweather.

So you can use their stupid logic against them.

“Hey, Floyd’s prime was at LW, which was now 20 years ago. So he wouldn’t be able to have competed with today’s era of LW’s”

“Your logic”
