03 Wladimir Klitchksco VS Joe Frazier

[FinitoElDinamita]

Who wins and why?

[Bo-Bo24]

If Joe Frazier found a way to hit Wlad on his chin he's stay hit. For that reason I'd say Joe Frazier by KO

[FinitoElDinamita]

Wlad used to be all offense back in the days and id be shocked if frazier got past the early rds..

Foreman beat him around the ring like a midget rag doll.. wlad has the size, power, and the speed to get the job done even faster..

Hard to argue with 15 consecutive Title defenses.
Wladimir Klitschko is The Man and has been the undisputed Heavyweight Champ for several years. Even if his style doesn't electrify the masses. Man deserves respect.

In the 1st half of his career (1996-2005), Wladimir suffered 12 knockdowns.
Somehow he wasn't psychologically destroyed by that, he didn't pack it in. Instead he rebuilt and developed his skills and continued to go into the ring.

In the 2nd half of his career (2006-2014), I don't think he's been knocked down.

I think the Sam Peter fight back in 2005, over 8½ years ago, is Wladimir's last knockdown. Has he been knocked down in the last 8½ years? I don't think so.

Anyway, I think Wladimir beats Smokin' Joe, closes his eyes up with jabs.
Joe definitely has a chance with that Philadelphia left hook, but I think his style is not the style to beat Wladimir.

Mike Tyson vs Pernell Whitaker?

LEnnox Lewis vs PRince Naseem?

Wladimir Klitschko vs Joe Frazier?

All have one thing in common. All great boxers on each side.

All would end in a crushing and absolute 1st round KO under any reasonable circumstances...

(Reasonable circumstances including but not limited to things like cardiac arrest and constantly running circles around the ring for 3 minutes without engaging.)

Seriously I think Wladimir could stand there and let Frazier load up and take any punch he could throw at him as if it was nothing, for Frazier, Wladimir has an iron chin.

Conversely I think Frazier would be cold canvas KO'd by the first clean straight right landed by Wlad which would come very quickly since Frazier was easier to hit than most standard heavy bags.

Joe Frazier wouldn't make it to the mid rounds. In his days, white boys didn't hit so hard, move so fast, and weigh in at 240 at 6'6''.

Absolute nonsense.
If Joe landed his hook solid on Wladimir's chin, he'd knock him out.
If Joe landed the hook to Wladimir's body, he'd hurt him.

Conversely I think Frazier would be cold canvas KO'd by the first clean straight right landed by Wlad which would come very quickly since Frazier was easier to hit than most standard heavy bags.

Wladimir never comes straight out of the gate all aggressive looking to knock over anybody. I don't think Wladimir throws his 1st right hand at all till about , oh, rds 7 or 8. It's all jabs for rd after rd after rd.
Joe's bobbing made him a very difficult target to hit, a perpetually moving target.
Ali said it was very difficult to land shots on Joe's head.

Quote me Max, wlad was like a lumbering jelly getting stopped be Brewster and Saunders.

[Otley]

Wlad used to be all offense back in the days and id be shocked if frazier got past the early rds..

Foreman beat him around the ring like a midget rag doll.. wlad has the size, power, and the speed to get the job done even faster..

Frazier was PAST his PRIME!!!

Hmm... not so fast. There's just one tiny, little detail you left out.....

Foreman wasn't afraid to get hit... and he could take a decent punch.
Wlad, especially early Wlad, was scared shitless of getting hit... and had/has the punch resistance of a wet paper bag.

Advantage: Frazier

Your kidding right?

Wladimir never faced an opponent as small as Frazier and he faced several opponents with as little 200+ experience early on in his career and he KO'd every single one of them within a few rounds! Does that mean anything?

Tell me something, when did the young, prime version of Foreman, the 220lb version, ever face an opponent as hard punching as Wladimir's opponents? Never! The hardest hitting opponent that Foreman faced was Ron Lyle and old Ron wasn't really a hard puncher by today's standards.

And he knocked Foreman down several times and almost out! Kind of reminiscent of Samuel Peter don't you think!

He was also dropped by featherfists!

None of this is relevant anyway because Frazier would not even land a single meaningful punch against Wladimir.

Earnie Shavers hit harder than them, and he was 6', 210 pounds.
