You guys make me laugh. All this trying to ridicule Joe Frazier when I'll lay odds most of you never saw him fight. Joe was a FIGHTER!!!!! Yeah he got knocked down but he got back up didn't he. As for the Klitschko's ? lol All they have is SIZE. Neither have the balls to get down in the trenches & FIGHT!!!! That's been proven hence the nickname Quitschko. That's what they'd have to do against Joe he'd come out Smokin' & walk right through the robots I had the pleasure of meeting & chatting to Joe & Earnie Shavers at the Black Tie fights in Dallas a few years ago. Both were great guys. Ask either of them if Muhammad Ali couldn't punch. They both said his punches were hard & accumulative & HURT!!! Sonny Liston said after their fight " They told me that boy couldn't punch. They Lied"!!! Todays HW's do not compare
I'm presuming you're a troll. Chisora, Haye and Povetkin stopping Frazier???? You're either on a wind up, are ****ing stupid or haven't seen Frazier or the 3 mentioned fight. Chisora tries to bob and weave like Joe with none of the power, none of the body work and none of the relentlessness. Povetkin is ****ing awful and do you really think Haye copes with Fraziers work rate and pressure never mind power. Get a grip!
What bombs? Oh you mean that looping, amateurish left hook of Frazier? Tyson would dodge that from a mile away, please. Tyson could take Frazier's punches, we all know that. At least for a couple rounds. But what about Frazier? How many rounds could he eat combinations from Tyson? One round, two rounds? This has mismatch written all over it. Look, Frazier is a hero, he's one of the best of his era. But putting him in a time machine and comparing him to greats of the modern era he doesn't compare well at all. Too small, too crude, too soft-chinned.
Lol you fool. Frazier has one of the greatest left hooks of all time. Don't go full ****** to defend Tyson by putting down Frazier. Making yourself just as bad as the next person talking crap.
Size is all LHWs have over WWs don't they? Would you pick a WW who "can really fight" over a champion LHW? No you wouldn't. That's why no one in their right mind would pick Frazier to win against either Klitschko, or Bowe, or Lewis etc.
You get a f'n grip. I'm most likely older than you, and yes have seen Frazier and all those older gen fighters. I'm also not afflicted w/sappy nostalgia or blind national or racial bias. In my career in the defense biz I help analyze multi million to billion $ inventories and complex contracts. I'm sure you're a brain surgeon given the critical thinking skills you display :roll: What happened to Joe when he tried his "pressure" vs Foreman, who'd be at best an average sized HW today? Frazier's "power" and skill set, given his size, would not make him a serious contender in this era. Even in his own era it was his big heart and tenacity that won him his biggest fight (Ali I). Heart & tenacity can only take you so far. I'm fine if you want to be deluded and live in the past if it makes you feel better about yourself. Calling me names doesn't change anything :yep
Joe would beat down both Klitschko's & Bowe I'm sure . Lewis & Frazier would be barn burner. Sure Lennox is big like the Klitscko's but he doesn't looks like somebody is controlling him with a remote control. all herky jerky like the Klits do I'm glad the fans have embarrassed the city of Philadephia enough that they are finally erecting a statue to honour Smokin Joe. The fact they ignored him & erected one to a two bit movie actor like Stallone was disgusting. Maybe they thought Rocky was real though huh:nut
Oh dearatsch Frazier's left hook was perfection. A punch like that is a gift and can't be thought. You have it or you don't. Joe had it and Tommy Morrison had it. Todays HWs would collapse after 5 rounds fighting the pace Frazier brings brings. Wlad got floord by what you would descriibe as the very definition of a amateur , looping left hook by Sam Peter. Thrown is slow motion compared to Frazier's. When Joe lands, Wlad doesn't get back up.
Frazier would get knocked the **** out against all three. Wouldn't even be remotely competitive. Joe gets knocked out cold in two rounds without landing a SINGLE shot. ZERO.
Frazier would be a CW in today's era and most likely battle out the ABC belts with the likes of Huck and his counterparts.
