the Fight Of The Century Frazier V Marciano

Who, How?

 

Tough one.

In 10 fights both win five.

 

I think Frazier was flat out better, so I'll pick him

 

Marciano had Frazier power but in Both hands. Marciano had a better chin. Stamina equal. How was Frazier flat out better?

 

I just think prime Frazier would do at least as well or better against every man either man fought

 

That's fair. I could see the same.

Walcott could possibly survive and beat Frazier though. If Bonavena could survive him.....

 

I don't think Joe would ever be in as much danger of losing as Rocky was. If (that) Wallcott survived I don't think he'd do enough to get the decision, Joe would be too high energy. Ditto for the Ezzard Rocky fought,,,,,,both really ran Rocky close, but I think Joe would be well on top of both by the 10th or so.

 

marciano would have knocked out Bonavena though, IMO

 

Hmm. Possible. Oscar was crazy tough tho, would take a hell of an ass whupin' to do it

 

Have to favor the bigger guy when it comes to a collision course like this.

 

Ah..so based on this logic I have to assume you'd pick Tua over Frazier? :crafty:

 

A good big man beats a good little man. A good little man beats a fat tub of shit.

 

It's not out of the realm of possiblity but Frazier has more skill, stamina and heart than that lard ass.

Marciano and Frazier are closer in those intangibles but Joe is bigger.

 

Tua has more power and chin...and in a collision of this nature...that's all that matters pretty much.

But we digress....

 

Dunno if Michael Moorer would agree with you

 

A 100 y/o 250lb MM isnt good.

 

true. I tried to pass that one by you in (apparently) no so slick fashion :giggle:

 

at least 20 pounds bigger and he had better defense and quicker fists
