Joe Frazier was not a great fighter

Johnson had a weak chin, holyfield's was rock solid.

Chin would not be much of a factor here, since Holyfield did not carry a particularly devastating punch.

Bowe hunts guys with weak chins. Imagine bowe vs norton, i see a 3rd round ko for sure. Johnson was a guy that was the man in his era, i respect him for that. However, i dont think he's that great in head to head matchups.

Bowe hunts guys with weak chins.

And Johnson hunts guys with poor defense and bad stamina.

I dont think it would last very long, he has the size and reach to keep johnson off and then he can go for the ko. Back then fighters were smaller and thats what matters.

Keep Johnson off? On the contrary, it is Bowe who would be coming forward, as Johnson in his flatfooted stance would lure in fighters who think he's slow, and he would be moving back and countering, taking advantage of Bowe's mistakes. Johnson wins a comfortable UD in this one for sure.

Bowe had poor defense, but his stamina was not weak at all.

For instance, he threw lots of punches in the Holyfield fights, and finished strong too, when it went 12. Throwing lots of punches til the end, even in the 2nd fight when his conditioning wasn't too good.

Bowe's stamina wasn't terrible, but it didn't compare to Johnson's.

Yeah johnson is gonna beat a guy thats much bigger than him and hits harder than him, get real.

[Kid Achilles]

Yeah imagine someone in boxing beating someone who's bigger and hits harder than them. Unprecedented. You're clearly a student of the sport.
