Call me nuts and crazy, galactus, but I've always thought that their first fight was fixed, similar to the Ali-Liston fight. When you look close enough, you can see that Foreman doesn't even touch(or hardly touches) Frazier with his uppercut, yet Frazier falls backwards like Foreman hit him with a sledgehammer. Isn't boxing the sport one of the sports that can get fixed the easiest? Letting yourself fall and play hurt is one of the most easy things. Sure, Big George was a juggernaut back in the 70's and had more power than guys like Gerry Cooney or Ron Lyle, but am I supposed to believe that he could beat Joe Frazier that easy? Really? Big George didn't destroy any boxer back in the 70's more than Frazier? The Joe Frazier that could take nonstop punishment by Ali in all their three fights(and Ali is grossly underrated when it comes to punching power). No sir, I just can't believe it. And it's not hard to believe that Frazier had connection to the underground. Maybe I'm just crazy and I don't wanna offend any fan of George Foreman or Joe Frazier, both are some of the greatest fighters ever and Foreman for sure is the second hardest puncher right behind Earnie Shavers, but their first fight seemed so much unreal for me, so I'm not able to believe it. I mean Foreman could lift Frazier in the air with one punch! Am I supposed to believe that? Because Frazier had for sure a harder chin than Ken Norton, who had a glass chin, yet didn't get smashed by Foreman like Frazier did.

No not a chance. Frazier was tailor made for George. He would have lost to him each and every time. Frazier of March 8 1971 when he beat Ali was his finest hour. However that fight took more out of him than Ali even this Frazier would fall short of a victory over George. Bundini is absolutely correct styles do make fights. Frazier was a bore in get inside and pound with the left hook. He would not be successful doing this with the mighty strong and powerful Foreman. I am glad to see Frazier finally get his due. There is a work in the process of a Frazier statue being erected somewhere in Philadelphia. It is about time. Rocky is a fictional character not reality. Frazier is one of the finest to ever come out of Philadelphia.

Styles make fights, and based on this old dictum, George would beat Frazier 9 times out of 10. Considering Foreman's size, his long arms and heavy hands, Joe would get bamboozled before he could bob and weave inside to launch his left hook. You might say, Ali's about the same size as Foreman, but then, Ali didn't hit that hard and Frazier surely could take Ali's shots.

No, Frazier was a straight ahead slugger, and nobody in history could have out slugged a prime George Foreman.

I don't think Frazier could see him winning this fight, and certainly not anyone who saw the fight.

A Prime Frazier could of beat Foreman.
