gotta love joe frazier

[QueensburyRules]

espn classic just showed frazier vs. ron sanders (i'm on the east coast).
for those of your who haven't seen it, think of a 4 rd
heavyweight corrales/castillo.
sanders wasn't a top notch guy, but it was a brutal
slugfest that was stopped cuz of cuts.
really, frazier was something else.
he just takes and takes and keeps coming and coming.
obviously his style didn't work against a mammoth like foreman
(tho i think he woulda been better in a rematch),
but i can see him absolutely killing moden guys his size like tyson or tua.
i was watchin a rerun of calvin brock/mcline and i think frazier
would destroy those guys, man oh man.

- -Maybe a little over the top.

Saw Joe training in his hey day as lad. It's hard to comprehend how such a compact body could beat up a big Guy like Ali, but he done it big time in real time.

Shame Big George had to show up, but that's boxing!

The only fighters that would have potentially beaten Frazier from 1967 to 1975, 1975 being the end of his productive career, would be Ali and Foreman. Ali had the speed, guile and boxing ability while George that incredible punching power and physical presence/strength. I do not see Frazier having major issues with Lyle, Shavers or MAC Foster. although each had the punchers chance they would have over all opposition. Certainly with Foreman Frazier had his Waterloo. Two bouts. Two brutal knockouts. No Frazier beats Foreman in his prime.
