Lewis Vs Frazier

[The Noose]

This Is A Great Matchup In Terms Of Style!

I think Frazier can eat everything Lewis lays on him. Frazier finally drops Lenny in the 7th when that left hook finds home and finishes it in 8 by way of TKO.

Lewis has more tools than Foreman but the young pre-Ali Foreman was a monster.

Bad match up for Frazier is what I ment. The shorter man trying to work his way in on a man who would be much much bigger and stronger

You know...I like the way you think.

Glad to see that we agree on something for once.

My head says Lewis. He's got the height and reach advantage. I could see Lewis keeping Frazier at the end of his jab at landing his uppercut to a victory. But my gut (and heart) says Frazier gets inside after getting rocked in the early rounds, and starts landing his left hook and Lewis succombs to the body attack.

Lewis never faced a body puncher or fighter with NEAR the work-rate of Frazier. A tiring Lewis gets TKO'd by the 7th . . . .

Smokin Joe was a wonderful fighter to be sure, but to say he would definately beat Lewis is hard to imagine for me.

Sure he beat Ali, but Ali was only 225 lbs in his prime. Big George cleaned Fraziers' clock while weighing in at the 250 - 260lb. range.

While Lewis never had Foreman power, he did have Foremans' reach and weight behind the punches, he also had at least as much stamina as Big George had.

Just a little something to think about....

Lewis has the power and size
Frazier has the pressure and wicked left hook

Can Lewis's stamina and chin hold out?
Would Frazier be able to handle a giant uppercut?

The result will be similar to Foreman's destruction of Frazier

I just think Foremans big sweeping blows were made for Joes bobbing style. Joe might have more success with Mr Caution Lewis, especially if he nailed him with a left hook.
