Frazier v Foreman

I think any version of Frazier would get murdered by Foreman. It's just a bad matchup stylistically for him like mentioned above.

But if he could have taken it to the later rounds?

Personally, I don't see him doing it. Foreman just had too much firepower for Frazier's style. And for me, I don't buy that the Frazier who fought Foreman was all that different than the one who fought Ali.

Frazier lead with his face a lot of the time, and that was fine for awhile because he had a solid chin and a ton of heart, but against a guy like Foreman he wasn't going to win that battle. A guy like Tyson would have obliterated him within 3 rounds.
