I think this belongs in the classic section because Frazier is the main focus, I feel the punch that Wilder knocked Breazale out with would have KO`d Joe, but could Wilder or Ruiz have taken that left hook that floored Ali in the FOTC? Which one of these fighters would have survived these grueling clashes?
Joe Frazier, unlike Breazele, wasnt a no-talent bum who left his chin hanging in the air. Wilder would have to land cleanly on him first, and considering that Wilder had a hard enough time hitting Charlie Zelenoff, I think Joe could slip underneath his right hand and get inside
The point is Breazeale is a slow, predictable, upright target with zero defence ,that is not Joe Frazier. Wilder could ko Frazier and probbaly anyone else, but he has to land to do so and,in this case I don't think he would.
Surely he'd be able to lose 5//10lbs today, that would make him a CW. Yes he would definitely win belts there. And at at HW as well
I feel like he would win against Wilder and AJ, because Frazier was very good at getting close and then unless they clinch immediately, good luck. Against Ruiz I would say yes so far. As for Fury it would be an awesome fight and I expect Frazier to score a KD at least, but I d bet on Fury to win the decision
Fury wouldn't be able to out point Frazier because Frazier would be the one throwing more punches non stop for 12 rounds.
Only way Joe doesn't win a strap is if he gets knocked out. None of the current guys are outpointing him for sure.
