I have to go with Joe Frazier. Ridiculous left hook, but unfortunately that's really all he had.
Not that his hook was all that good either.Frazier threw the hook as consistently as he did because of the angle of his left arm.
Frazier had snapped it while rolling around with pigs in his youth.

Which makes Joe Louis look even worse.

Who would I joke to,you?
You seem like the miserable type,so probably not
Originally posted by Royalty View PostMaybe it's because Louis was old and past his prime?
Louis had a greater pulse than the average opponent that he had faced thoughout his career.
Louis certainly wasn't legally blind or heavily sedated when he fought Marciano eitherLast edited by Snopkins; 03-10-2010, 05:18 PM.

So you're saying that you'd only excuse a fighter from losing if he was blind or heavily sedated? Wow..

Louis consistently fought top 10 ranked opponents in his career. Just because they couldn't beat him doesn't mean they weren't good fighters.

For the record that "one dimensional" style of Joe Frazier isn't exactly authentic. He took it from Henry Armstrong.
Of all the "one dimensional" ATGs, Henry Armstrong was unquestionably the best. His secret? His heart was 20% larger than normal.
