1973 | George Foreman vs Joe Frazier I
Frazier vs. Foreman – On the Sunshine Island, January 22, 1973 THE FIGHT Foreman and Frazier were two very different fighters. Foreman fought flat out, all guns full steam ahead, while Frazier, kept his left hook ready, waited and took blows, hoping to wear down his opponents.

@ONLYUSEmeBLADEz1 This is your comment makes no sense. Foreman Tyson break his head before he has time to get close to him.
@Punishment683 Okay that comment made no sense at all. But i will try to interpret it. I think you mean Tyson took his skills from foreman. right? Anyway i agree with you but that doesnt change the fact that when you have two power punchers in the ring the one with more power will win Tyson is stronger there is no contest there.
@ONLYUSEmeBLADEz1 most that could be Tyson is suctioned from the Big George you stupid ignoramus.
@davgabe Na Tyson would have destroyed foreman
Bar fight? ahahaha not one boxer of any era would last more the two minutes against George Forman in a street or bar fight, not Ali, not anyone.. His crushing power punching without ANY rules? He would have demolished anyone
frazier = one brave ass motherfucker!!!
thats one mutha fucking beating but there still very fucking good boxers.
Joe ” Eisenschädel ” Frazier galt damals als nicht ko zu schlagen ………….. der punch den Foreman hatte kann man mit Klitschkos und allen anderen gar nicht vergleichen !!! der Mann hat mehr kos wie Ali und die meisten anderen Boxer Kämpfe haben und nicht gegen solch Frühstücksgegner wie Klichtko sondern gegen viele grossen wie Frazier , Norton, Ali , ist mit 46 nochmals gegen Moorer Weltmeister geworden = ein stiller, bodenständiger Weltmeister nicht so wie Ali !!!
