    What do you guys think of Joe Frazier

    Do you rate him highly?

    What do you think of Fraziers bobbing and weaving style, do you think he move his head better than Mike Tyson?

    Joe Frazier won `Fight of the Century`which was the greatest and best boxing match of all time, Frazier`s bobbing & weaving style was the only way a fighter had any chance of beating the great Muhammad Ali who as we all know was a dancing master with lighening fast hands... Frazier was without doubt an ATG top 10 fighter.. i always rank him at No5

            Absolutely love Smokin' Joe.

            Aside from the Foreman-type which is a huge stylistic disadvantage for him, he's competitive with any Heavyweight champ in history.

              Frazier was a warrior very tough brave fighter with underrated skill it is a shame he seems to be remembered mainly as a punchbag for Foreman, he was so much more.

                He was like a machine that kept going and going. Of course he had his limits though. His right hand wasn't that great but his left hook was as good as they come. His defense was a lot different than Tyson's but I think they both did equally as well in their defense. I do have Tyson a step above Frazier in many ways but he doesn't trail far behind. I'd pick frazier to beat Marciano and Louise.

                  Like you..i am a huge fan of Joe Frazier, he seems by many to be remembered only for his losses to Foreman yet for their 1st fight Frazier had just finnished his World Tour with his Blues-Band `The Knockouts`and was 15lbs heavier than he was for Fight of the Century.. his ass was as big as a bulls, there 2nd fight Frazier was wearing contact lenses..

                    I'm a big Frazier fan, he doesn't quite make my heavyweight top ten, but hes not far off. He did have great head movement but I rate peak Tyson's a little better.
