Comments Thread For: Measured Against All Time - Heavyweight Joe Frazier

[mshap]

Frazier was a true champion and an all-time great -- would put him in the top 20 or so HWs who ever fought -- below Joe Louis, Ali, Holmes, Lewis and Foreman and maybe even VK to name a few but not far behind -- against these guys Frazier was or would be at a significant size disadvantage and had big defensive liabilities -- he could beat any of them on a given night but overall, I'd put him toward the top of the 2nd tier of all-time great HWs....

a few #'s lighter he would've been an awesome cruiser wt...too small vs the HW notables...Liston would've done a number on him, a great bout : Joe vs Rocky...small, I stood next to him a few times, doubt he was 5'11"...a true warrior, gentleman, and a Man's man. Rest well, champion...
