Frazier didn't stand right in front of you to be hit. Frazier bobbed and weaved his way to get right up in your face, he swarmed on you and threw non stop punches both to the body and head. He was by no means slow. He was relentless in his attack, and beat you down through the course of a fight. He didn't lose to Foreman because Foreman had 30 pounds of fat on him. He lost to him because Foreman was a guy who was not afraid to trade with Frazier, and was able to bomb him out because of his chin, strength, power, and willingness to trade hard and early. It's pretty rediculous for you to use Fraziers two losses to Foreman as a means of reasoning that every heavyweight post 1980 would defeat him. It's because of their size? I comparing the top 10 heavyweights of the 1970's, and the top 10 of today and the difference in height was only 1 inch, and this included Valuev as an outlier for today's heavyweights. Remember this, Frazier only ever lost to George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. He was an absolute beast, a relentless attacker who defeated many good heavyweights and the best version of Muhammad Ali(to be beaten). This generation was littered with blown up middleweights defeating the top heavyweights, such as Roy Jones, James Toney and Chris Byrd. It's laughable to question Joe Frazier's ability to compete do to his size.
frazier's record against fighters 220+ is 0-2, he lost 100% of the time. the george foreman of that era was a rock-and-sock-robot with massive power. people only give frazier credit inorder to justify placing ali at no. 1 atg but the truth is that frazier was only an above average heavyweight in a mediocre era....prove me wrong biatch!:hi: :hi: :hi: :bbb :bbb :bbb
Never have I seen a post with so many inaccuracies. It's truly mindboggling. I have to find it funny that you probably think you made a good point. You probably typed this and smiled to yourself thinking, "Wow! I sure got him!" :verysad Not at all.
He fought and beat a number of fighters who fought above 220 such as Joe Bugner, Ron Sander, and Buster Mathis, and of course Muhammad Ali. Again, i'm still waiting for your response to my previous point that questions your ranking of the Ali's era so low. If an old, fat George Foreman came back during this generation to become the lineal heavyweight championship of the world, then what does that say about this and his era?
ali weighed 215 when frazier beat his ass...do some research before you, and that biatch that posted before you, respond to my posts. and, if you have an issue with what i have stated, provide some evidence to back-up your point...
I never resort to name-calling during arguements, but simply put, you are truly a dumb ****. Fraziers defeat of the best version of Ali, while they were both in their primes is irrevelant simply because in the third fight(while they were both, and especially Joe, were washed up) Ali weighed above 220! Brilliant.
Frazier defeated a 221 pound Bugner. Is that good enough? Of course though, the level of competition doesn't matter, but simply because of the fact that the opponent was above 220 it is a great win for Frazier.
Many of the belt holders of this period were fighters of Fraziers size in Chris Byrd, James Toney, and Roy Jones. In fact all those were blown up lighter weights. So Joe Frazier's weight is not an size.... prove me wrong biatch!:hi::hi::hi::bbb:bbb:bbb I can do it too.
beating joe bugner is a great win?....well, i guess so, if you're a major scrub...but, you're correct smok'n joe was 3-2 angainst fighters weighing 220+...boy, do i feel embarassed.....
