Frazier v Foreman
We all know that Joe Frazier got comprehensively beaten by George Foreman in 1973. However most would agree that he had probably past his peak which may have been in the first fight with Ali in 1971. However the question I would ask is, if Joe did not have that fight with Ali, which was brutal and he was hospitalised and maybe even blinded after that fight, would he have done better against big George?
Joe would have been at his best, he may have had better resistance and therefore may have taken Foreman to the later rounds. If he could take George to the second half of the fight then maybe Big George would get tired and lose his game plan. Joe has a ton of heart and would have carried on regardless and maybe even get a stoppage.
Would you agree?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
