Would Frazier have stopped Jarrell Miller the same way he stopped Mathis?

    I know Joe would have destroyed Miller, but there is similarity in Miller`s size and that of Mathis and fans are saying the huge Miller is robust, so could he last as long as Mathis? Will AJ stop Miller earlier than Frazier would have?

    I'll answer more certainly after the AJ fight
    But now I'd say no. Miller was much bigger than Mathis, who didn't have Chuvalos chin. We'll see how good Miller's chin is against AJ

    Miller is still an unknown quantity at the world class level. We’ll know more after the Joshua fight whether he’s legit.

    After watching both Whyte-Chisora fights back to back today I’ll say that Frazier whups either of these guys like he did Mathis though.

    The AJ fight should answer this question for you.

    Frazier wouldn't be able to fight off the front foot against Miller. I don't see any similarity between Miller and Mathis.

    Frazier punched much harder and faster than Miller does.

    Whyte punches harder than Miller does.

    245ish, so in other words, about 75lbs less than Miller

    Wait how could tiny cruiser weight Joe Frazier with his tiny body and attrition punching possibly handle the modern evolved specimen such as Miller. Frasierista virus is spreading through this forum rapidly.
    Jk I’m an adult who actually watches boxing. Frazier destroys him.

    Still an unknown question but Miller does punch a lot harder than Buster Mathis.

    Do you think he could have stopped Mathis though?

    Mathis: 243 lbs for Frazier, 234 for JQuarry, 256 for Ali.

    Mathis was a pretty good technical boxer.

    He was more technical than Miller.

    So?

    I'd back Frazier to be able to absorb whatever Whyte landed and work him over thoroughly and stop him late with Whyte's ordinary stamina and moderate work rate.
