Didnt he go blind in one eyeeven earlier than that? I've always thought his defense deteriorated quite early in his career. But yeah, Frazier KO.
He spent 6 weeks in hospital after the Ali fight. I'm not quite sure was the specific ailment, it could have been dehydration or infection, but he was NEVER the same after that, yet from there to 1975, he beats the shit out of Shavers. Fucking Shavers.
I'm pretty sure he was legally blind in his left eye even before the first Ali fight. So he claimed anyway.
Shavers had greater one-punch power than Foreman, but Foreman put his punches together a big quicker (not to mention setting them up with that stiff jab). Shavers may land one or two solid shots that stun Frazier, but Joe's output & left hook will end the fight before the 4th round.
Frazier got up 6 times against Foreman... There's not a chance in hell for Shavers to win this ifght, he's getting stopped
