    whose to say the 3 KD rule would even be in place? You know not every fight has that rule right?

    I agree, the point is, its just as credible as Swag's claim that Frazier was a slow starter and would have beat Foreman if he'd warmed up.

    Also, Williard was ancient for the era, around 38. There's as much claim that he could have beat Dempsey if he was prime as Frazier Foreman

    I'm just addressing the idea that Willard was a slow starter .Against Johnson in temperatures that Willard described as ,"hotter than hell,"over a 45rds distance ,employing war of attrition tactics against the older less conditioned man was the sensible option.

    Who is to say that it would not be in place? You know some fights have it right?

    No it's not because I'm taking a different version of Frazier and pitting him against the same Foreman. You're literally taking the same exact versions of the fighters, and having the exact same fight, just in a different time period. :lol:

    You know the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. :yep:deal

    Maybe you could make a case if it wasn't a total beat down. But it was. :think

    The rule changes between dempsey v willard and the modern era has the ability to change a fight a lot more than "Frazier changing his gameplan".

    You are a fool, get out and go back to your dumb thread.
