Sorry, but this boxers were /are incredibly overrated.

Weight difference is meaningless. Joe only had his hook. He completely lacked left to right hand coordination. Frazier was the only heavyweight champion to never knock an opponent down with his right hand. Joe although had quick hands his feet were very slow. He would tend to languish at distance rather than quickly move in close.

Aside from two fisted punching superiority Marciano had a much more varied defense than Frazier. The video I posted illustrates this nicely.

If weight difference were meaningless then there wouldn't be weight classes. And we wouldn't have the saying that "a good big man usually beats a good little man."

Joe only had his hook yet he won an Olympic gold medal with it and beat Muhammad Ali. It's not the insurmountable flaw that you're making it out to be.

Weight differences are only meaningful at lower weight divisions where five pounds can be a benefit. At heavyweight not much so.

Not have two fisted power or coordination will do nothing but hurt you fighting an ATG heavyweight champion.

Watch the video.
