basically, what we can learn is todays heavyweights arent conditioned well, they wouldnt last 3 weeks in the TA i can tell you
3 week sn the TA??...i thought you only spend about 19-26 days a year ...A YEAR in the TA i dont think ANYBODY spends 3 whole weeks in the TA do they?,its sorta like Americas reservists weekend warrior

the average heavyweight runs about 10 K 4 times aweek ....its the intensity taht they are lacking tehy get that comfort Zone w/ there opponent ...Joe always tried to KO the otherman ...

secondly corpral i think that joe Frazier has proven he was a great boxer by KOing people Like George Chuvallo and Quarry (who had insane chins) and buster mathis and Jimmy ellis.. he out boxed bonovena for 15 rounds ...he was by far the best ...the only people that could ever beat seemed to be Froeman and Ali ..(ali barely) ,i'm not being biased just because i've spent alot of time at Joe Fraziers gym but all you need to do is watch some of his fights and look at his record and watch the people he fought fight other people and its pretty much common sense that he was A GREAT boxer and champion ...i think he could outwork Lazy fighters like Lennox Lewis easily his work rate was too much ...Lewis would get too tired
