What made Frazier so great is how was how versatile he was. He could box he could slug. Even with out a knockout he could still go the distance with pretty much anyone at his best

He had no other choice. Style-wise Quarry was at a disadvantage against Frazier. If you try to box with him, he'll just try to lounge and chase you. Attempting to counter-punch is also futile since Frazier would just cut the ring off so that you don't have room to counter. The only way to beat him is to out-brawl him, just like what Foreman did. You can out-box him only if you're Ali I guess, but even Ali barely won.

My favourite 'pressure' fighter of all time is Joe Frazier ; love to watch him fight. Ali first fight is the best performance I ever saw , and my favourite of Joe's shorter fights was the first fight with Jimmy Ellis - Jimmy got off to a good start there, but Joe just stepped up the pace, and then it was just a matter of time. Frazier Quarry a classic ! Good days back then. Give me a good Joe Frazier fight anytime : "You better believe it" !

Same here. There's a beauty to slick boxers who can win rounds by jabs but all of the 60s and 70s Heavyweight bouts were amazing (so were the 90s). Guys like Lennox Lewis, the Kitschko bros., Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua (even though I believe he has a solid punch) are a bit boring by 60s, 70s, and 90s Heavyweight standards.

@@jadezee6316 I agree but Ali brought a ton of excitement to the sport w/ his constant foot, body, and head movement. Ali's jab was also new as he had his fists down by his waste and not by his head. Fury is not quite as mobile as him but the other relatively newer boxers I mentioned have a tendency to jab their way to victory.

Quarry had fine skills, quick hands, toughness and a good punch. But engaging Frazier at close quarters was suicide. Joe loved going to war and was possibly the toughest heavyweight ever.

Size is not talent! These earlier heavyweights were definitely talented. Many modern heavyweights are not as well conditioned as these older fellows. As it relates to heavyweights, modern training methods, unfortunately, places too much attention on developing "muscular size" and not enough on skill development. Lastly, roadwork is something that many modern heavyweights do not practice with the same diligence as the older fraternity of boxers.

Joe was good at fighting taller guys. It wasn't his height that helped Foreman win, it was the style and power. and a but of pushing. this guy said the HW were bigger back then. Hope that's just bad wording. HWs today are way bigger.
