Frazier did not only beat Muhammad ali, they fought 3 great fights and Frazier was in there holding his own for 40rds, Frazier also beat a prime Bonavena (twice) Quarry (twice) stopped Chuvalo which very few could do, he KOd Jimmy Ellis (twice) KOd Mathis, beat Bugner and KOd Eddie Machen which was a feat in its self, Smokin`Joe Frazier was a top 10 ATG fighter and the guys on the `match-up` list just dont qualify as huge threats to Frazier.. Gene Tunney had the style and ability to hang-in there for the 15rds the others did not and Frazier would `bomb them out`...prime Frazier was a relentless and destructive fighting machine`...excuses are always made for the 2 loses Lennox Lewis suffered "fast count, under-trained, lucky punch etc etc" but dont forget that Joe Frazier fought his last 8 fights wearing contact lenses and was blind in one eye..his losses to a prime George Foreman there was legitamate excuses, Frazier was 15lbs over-weight after being on a world tour with his blues band, he was `fat as a pig` for their 1st fight, their 2nd fight was after the "Thriller in Manilla" need i say more.Last edited by sonnyboyx2; 08-08-2009, 12:14 AM.Comment

I was way ahead of picking that up Mersey. Ali worshipers generally rate Frazier incredibly high. It's a means to justify Ali's mediocre performances.Comment
