    I think it would have been disastrous . Frazier was a volume puncher ,able to throw the hook incessantly, and with power.He rarely threw jabs, and relied on head movement to avoid incoming.Joe could throw a pretty decent short right on the inside , but primarily relied on his left hook.
    Floyd threw the hook much less frequently, exploding out of his half- hunched crouch and leaping forwards. Floyd had enough pop in his right to take out a guy, and was much more ofa two handed fighter imo.

    I think the peek-a-boo is basically unsound, and a self- defeating deal because your gloves partially block your vision .Floyd stood fairly square on ,as did Tyson on occasion, again I think this is fundamentally unsound.Just my opinion.
