Re: What did Joe Frazier have that Rocky Marciano didn't?
Well I think Joe Louis was among Marciano's best opponents, despite his age.
But how was he any better (as he was when he fought Rocky) than some of the opponents Frazier fought, like Ali for instance?
Charles and that were good quality boxers but again, they were not HW's as we describe them today.
Frazier himself only boxed 17 times against real HW's and lost 4 times (2ce convincingly) and his record was riddled with bums also, but still I think he beat the somewhat better fighters and still I think he could beat MArciano.
Rocky could beat Frazier for all I know, it isn't so far apart really, this is just my tip.
They both boxed in cruiser bum eras- it's not their fault the time they were born in.
