Re: Joe Louis has the best record in HW world title fights... Right? Wrong!
Tyson has moments of rationality and irrationality. I think it's obvious which is which.
Peter and Frazier are quite comparable. When Peter fought Wladimir Klitschko the 2nd time he was primarily fighting out of a bob and weave style that reminded a lot of people, Emanuel Steward too I might add, of the late Joe Frazier.
The main difference between Peter and Frazier is that, Peter hads a good chin, Joe doesn't. Peter has a very hard punch, Joe doesn't. Peter weighs 240lbs, Joe weighs 210! Peter was at his prime ripped like a bodybuilder, you will NEVER see an image of Frazier with a 6-pack! Peter has an extensive and good record against REAL HW opponents with good records. Frazier has a smaller record against bums and cruisers MAINLY.
Peter is famed for his punching power and is credited for giving Wlad probably his toughest battle in which he was victorious.
Frazier is famous for only 2 reasons- His trilogy with Ali in which he beat him once and is thus special to fans, revealing Ali was in fact a very limited fighter for not being able to handle such a feeble opponent.
And for getting demolished 2ce by George Foreman KO2 KO5- a limited slugger with little more than a really big punch proving as well Frazier's limitedness.
Samuel Peter > Joe Frazier in both h2h AND in achievements (what did he do really?) = FACT!
