Joe Frazier's Chin?

[Southpaw Great]

Joe Frazier had one of the greatest chins of all time... Foreman was the hardest puncher of all time yet he could not KO Joe Frazier.

Frazier is one of my favorite fighters of all time, but his chin is really just average, not abysmal, but hes no Jake LaMotta for that regard either.

But the fact that he had such a huge heart, bobbing and weaving as he was coming in, the chin is a moot point. Go ahead knock him down six times in 2 rounds, he'll keep getting up.

there are arguments to support/oppose his chin. Some say Bonavena and foreman gave him trouble. But that was pre/post prime Frazier respectively. That doesnt change that his chin is average. He still an ATG with that average shin.

dude conquered ali over 15 rounds. nobody with an average chin does that.

he had an off day against foreman, people make such a big deal about it

Are you serious? He went 15 rounds with THEE Muhammad Ali? THEE most devestating puncher that ever lived?


Sheeeeeeeeeeeyiitt.....guy gots to have some lead in that mandible of his.




You're right about his "off day" with foreman,though.It's fairly common to see undisputed world champions get knocked to the ground SIX times in just TWO rounds.Especially when that "off day" happens to be the only puncher that you'd ever stepped in the ring with.


Sure,happens all the time.




By the way,did you mention that he had fought Ali? Funny,I never,EVER see that name brought up everytime Frazier's name is mentioned.


Just goes to show how relevant Joe has remained in the public eye since retirement.
