A look back at Joe Frazier

[RockyMarcianofan00]

WHAT THE ****. Ali wasn't the hardest puncher out there no... but when he wanted to he could hit VERY HARD. Ask george Foreman if those right crosses off the ropes were hard, or cleveland williams. He could throw very hard when he sat on his punches and put effort into them. He toyed with Patterson on purpose.

he wasn't a power hitter but he did have power that much i will say

but if i remember i heard somewhere foreman said Ali's punch was weak and this is the later Ali who had more power less speed

ppl can say frazier had a weak chin but thats not it, foremans punches r harder than any other in that era imo, but frazier didnt have a weak chin, if he did he would of been destroyed every fight, swarmers take more punches than other kind of boxing style.

i think he had a decent chin it wasn't glass but it wasn't granite

it was could take hard punches but not like 5 foreman punches

[Frazier's 15th round]

Frazier got up from every knockdown. I suppose that could attributed more to his heart, but his chin was really good, as well. I mean, Foreman almost knocked his head off with perfect punches. I don't think anyone could beat Foreman coming straight at him. But Frazier already did better in the second fight. All you had to do is box and move against Big George.

I heard Frazier shaved his head for that fight to try and make Foremans blows deflect.

I remember in that fight Frazier sort of tried to rope a dope Foreman. Foreman wasn't going to let that happen again and picked his shots more carefully instead of swinging wildly.

Frazier landed some good left hooks in that fight. Frazier was a great guy and fighter.

yea joe was a really tough fighter! it was clear he wouldnt beat big G beacause joe was pretty sort but heavy comparing. ali was fast and agile, exactally what foremans weakness's were.
i think in the long run if joe did beat big G it would be a spectacular k.o!

The reason frazier could take so much punishment from ali was because ali hit like a girl . I mean ali couldnt even knock out glass chinned patterson who had one of the worst chins in heavyweight history .

Why do you even bother? im not even going to tell you why you com across as a raging moron. Pick up a book, google Ali vs Patterson, learn a little then come back to these forums.

The same Foreman that puts Ali at 7) on his greatest boxers list? Foreman is bitter.
