Joe Frazier v Larry Holmes

Discussion in 'Mythical Matchups' started by Rich ´Money´ Mustard, Oct 30, 2015.

  1. Frazier @ prime circa, 1970 and his perfect weight of 205lb
    Holmes @ prime circa 1981, coming in at 215-220lb
     
  2. close close fight. I lean towards Holmes by close decision.
     
  3. I reckon Holmes stops Frazier, 10-11
     
  4. I think Frazier's more durable than Norton, and Holmes didn't stop Norton. That's why I pick decision.

    Holmes is historically greater, and Holmes is historically better.

    HOWEVER, Ali-Frazier 1 Smokin Joe beats Holmes.
     
  6. My bad: I was thinking Frazier post-Foreman when he became a bit of a liability when tagged....
    Holmes hit harder than Ali...
     
  7. Yeah.....but how?
    Break it down some...

    Holmes jab would have to be a pin point laser all night to fend off Frazier.

    BTW, am I the only one who felt like Smoking Joe got taller as he got Older?

    The Frazier from the first Ali fight beats 81' Holmes up & wins by clear decision.
