Smokin' Joe boxed fairly well in '2' of those Rounds.

Smokin' Joe looked vastly smaller than George Foreman, yet he weighed in a {1/2} pound heavier.
224 1/2 to 224.
Re: Do you feel sorry for Joe Frazier when you watch this fight?
Joe was past his peak after the fight of the century and probably took George too lightly but stylewise Frazier was perfect for Big George. Watching Foreman against Bugner near the end of his career was more sad as he would have smashed him at his best.
