    Got KAYOED by Larry's Right Hand in the first round
    Got KAYOED by Mike's Uppercut in the first round.

    Usually the son inherits the iron chin from the father, similar to the Chavez's. But it seems to have skipped Marvis.


    Meh.

    He was very protected and then cashed out. Decent paydays for a guy who shouldn't have been in the ring with those two great champs.

    He was a good boxer at one point - But put in with people he wasen't ready to fight.

    He also shouldn't have changed his style. That definitely didn't help.

    They should of helped him develop his style naturally, when he changed it, it was much worse.

    Its never easy on a son to follow a great father.
    Marvin wasn't handled properly.

    I think those KO's were pretty much expected.

    Yep. I will give him credit for trying to earn a living in the ring, but he was nowhere near the talent of his father.

    He wasn't a bum, Bums dont get shots at world titles. IMO, Your a Bum if your losses overtake your wins.

    Exceptions can be made when you're the son of a legend

    I wouldn't say he was a bum either, but surely, if his last name wasn't Frazier, do you think he would have gotten the title shots he did get? I don't think so.

    He got a couple of decent paydays for two first round stoppages, took the money and ran into retirement after a few more no name fights.
