Re: Lyle Fitzimmons alledges Joe Fraizer does NOT belong in the Hall of Fame
I think one of the only real things you can say against JF is that his style of absorbing opponents punches meant he was destined for a short career, so that some time after 30 years of age that would catch up with him and he'd need to start fighting once a year (Jack Dempsey style) or fight old timers (Marciano did that late on) to lengthen his title reign. Otherwise sharp guys like Holmes would have wrecked him.
Just looking at the guys he annihilated -
Olympic Championship finalists
Jimmy Ellis!
Bob Foster!! the man himself!
Quarry! CHuvalo!
who the hell would crush all them in the past 20 years? Tyson maybe.
