I have been re-visiting Frazier. And I have actually changed my mind.
I think Dempsey stops him.
True, Frazier carries A LOT more size. And he had a greater career.
But watching the film, I don't know if that size is enough. Dempsey takes off like a rocket ship, while Joe needed to let the engine warm-up first.
I don't think Frazier's size makes much of a difference, and lesser punchers than Dempsey hurt Joe early.
Even IF Joe survives, Dempsey was girtier and craftier than Bonavena. SMaller, but more evasive and cagier. But again, I think this one is done inside of 5 rounds. Frazier's size simply means he that prolonged of a beating, instead of getting laid out in the opening stanza.
