Worst boxers nightmare

[likeamulekick]

If you take the great HW boxers like Holmes, Ali, Lewis etc, who is the guy you would predict that they would least like to fight out of these 3 guys?

ROCKY Marciano
IRON mike Tyson
SMOKIN joe frazier

[Capaedia]

I'd go with Frazier.

Bigger, stronger, faster than Marciano and dangerous for the whole length of the fight unlike Tyson.

[Ray Corso]

Joe Frazier 5'10" 212--215 best weight!
Mike Tyson 5'10" (barely) 210--218 best weight
Rocky Marciano 6' 188--192 best weight!!

Marciano
Tyson
Frazier

Ali, Holmes and Lewis would have the tuffest time with Marciano because his two handed attack and relentless pressure with great conditioning. He also has the highest work rate over a 15 round bout!
Tyson would be second for many of the same attributes as Rocky accept for total out put over a 15 round period.
Frazier would be the least but ofcourse a problem!! Joe was basicly a one handed fighter who had a terrific jab but didn't use once he got into his flow!
Tremendous heart like Rocky and solid stamina too!

I disagree that Frazier was bigger faster and stronger, I think the opposite! He was heavier, thats all! Plus Rocky had a superior two handed attack and no one finished like the Rock! Ray

I'd go with Tyson, speed is something that'll complicate it for any boxer.

[TBear]

If this is asking who would Holmes, Ali and Lewis least like to fight if they were given the choice, I would say Frazier.

Frazier was stylistically designed to be a nightmare for any boxer type fighter, Tyson is dangerous too but Frazier could bring serious pressure for 15 rounds

[Bolo Punch]

Tyson more than likely wouldn't be there all night, history proved that he gassed out in the later rounds vs. top opposition.

Joe Frazier has a booming left hook, but if you stayed away from it, you weren't likely to get hurt badly.

Rocky Marciano, however, had great power in both hands and he would be pressuring you all night long.

Having said that, Marciano didn't have great speed like Tyson and, to a lesser extent, Frazier. Despite being very strong, I think his more slender frame would work against him against big, strong guys like Holmes and Lewis too.

This is just a hard one to call in general. Each fighter has their own strengths and weaknesses. It also depends a lot on how the other guy chose to fight.

Tyson. Because he is the most dangerous man on the list.

Joe Frazier and Rocky Marciano would have (and Joe did vs Ali) ensured grueling fights for the three but Tyson would be the one i think they would least like to face given his speed and additional danger early

I disagree that Frazier was bigger faster and stronger, I think the opposite! He was heavier, thats all!

Frazier pushed around much bigger stronger men than Marciano did, like Ali and Mathis to name a few.

He was also very obviously faster, of both feet and hand. I don't think that's really up for discussion

Why do you think he might be heavier? He wasn't carrying 30 pounds of fat. He had a larger frame than Marciano. He was the bigger man.

Plus Rocky had a superior two handed attack and no one finished like the Rock! Ray

Frazier had two hands too. Not as much power in his right as there was in his left, but it was there, and he used it very well considering his size. You can see it in virtually any fight that isn't the FOTC.

A dead tired Archie Moore sat on the ropes avoiding blow after blow from Marciano while he had nothing left to give, he was pretty much waiting to be finished but Marciano was clumsy enough to keep missing and missing. That's not exactly Joe Louis level finishing.

To compare, Frazier came close to stopping Muhammad Ali in their first fight on more than one occasion. A much more durable and bigger man than Moore.
