Thread: Joe Louis vs. Joe Frazier

Who wins between two of the most feared punchers in boxing history?

fraizer by ko

Louis busts Frazier up, catching him coming in and timing those devastating short puches to perfection. Frazier scores a flash knockdown in the third, but it is one way traffic with only Frazier's courage keeping the fight going. By the sixth, Frazier's face is a misshapen distorted mess.

The ref steps in during the seventh to save Frazier from more punishment.

Louis was a MUCH better BOXER then Frazier and because of this he would be able to stop Joe late IMO.

almost agree but i think fraizer would catch him sooner or later and we know louis had dodgy chin

joe by KO

Louis, he's a better boxer and I think he takes the decision

Actually I doubt these two make even the top 10 most feared heavyweight punchers in boxing history.

Foreman, Tyson, Liston, Lewis, Dempsey, Marciano, Jack Johnson, even Sam Peter probably punched harder than these two.

Frazier would knock out Louis no question as open as Louis is? He is made to order for Joe.

Yeah which is why Joe got KO'd all the time

I didn't say hardest punchers in history, I said most feared punchers, big difference.

p.s. --Dempsey and Marciano ain't hittin' harder than Frazier.

Either way, Joe would win. Back in Joe's day a Heavyweight's idea of defense was seeing who would fall down first. Joe what little defense he had could duck and slip, and he would reach Joe, I also think he would be the bigger man

frazier beat ali....he could def beat louis---a prime frazier would b 2 much for louis --frazier ko10

Ok but even so I wouldn't say either was anywhere near the most feared. Tyson, Liston and Foreman were all far more feared than these two, so was Dempsey and Marciano.

Frazier was overratted imo, he did well against Ali becuase Ali didn't have the KO power to finish him but Foreman absolutely battered him twice. And he was almost knocked out by Ocscar Bonavena.

Louis struggled with a 175 lb Billy Conn. He was overratted too, any of the great champions could have reigned for 8 years if they fought a bum a month like Louis.

Dude, relax, I said they are two of the most feared, meaning they are among the most feared, I didn't say they were THE TWO MOST FEARED.
