you've even managed to offend me!Do you really think all Irishmen speak like
drunken 1700th century sailors?I've allways been respectfull of your
murduring,savage,redskin heratige.Now you start calling us drunkin sailors.I
sorta take offence,I think.Even if it's partly historicly accurate.Does anyone
here Really think ANY OF The seventies fighters avoided each other out of
fear,or for bussiness reasons?Get to the title first,then fight all comers for
big bucks.|

just one big strange unexplainable almost unbelievable coincidence that every
fighter of Joe's era that he didn't fight just happened to be a
puncher.The sticking point seems to be the word 'avoid'. What we must
all agree on is that he didn't fight them. He preferred tomato cans like Daniels
and Stander and the second Ellis who was winless for his four prior fights. Boy,
that was a great fight. Anyone got a tape of it ? Did anyone bother to film it ?
Honestly, guys, you can bet your life Joe was ducking guys after the
first Ali fight. He was shot. He saved himself for the big fights he had to
have. But he didn't explore new horizons or take any risks he didn't have to
take. HE DUCKED THEM ALL ! Norton, Shavers, Lyle, Foster. QUACK. QUACK. QUACK.
QUACK. WADDLE. WADDLE. WADDLE. WADDLE.If it quacks like a duck, if it
waddles like a duck, IT'S A FRIGGIN' DUCK. GOT IT !!! |

things in this wordl: God and George Foreman ! Ron Lyle, Mac Foster and Ernie
Shavers ain't in my class, I didn't want to waste my time with these bums ! I'm
the great Smokin' Joe Frazier, I even played in Rocky 1, that scamboogah Cassius
Clay or Muhammad Ali' or Ernie Terrell or whatever the hell his name is
didn't. My place in history ? Somewhere above that scamboogah ! I won each
of those 3 fights, the tapes are still there to show that !|

lets take each fighter seperately. Do you really think slow ponderous Mac
Foster would have held off Smokin Joe's onslaught? Sure Foster might
have gotten lucky and landed one or more of his bombs early and hurt Joe but
odds are this would not have happened. I think Joe would have overwhelmed
Foster by the mid rounds, much like Jerry Quarry did when he hit Foster with
everything but the kitchen sink in the sixth round for a KO.Steve, Lore
and behold! You haven't partied until you partied with some Navajos fresh from
the Rez (the reservation) up from New Mexico way. Those boys sure can party and
they are a fun bunch!But the Irish know how to party too. When I met
our Jerry Q, he could put away a few pints and not be worse from the wear. This
despite the fact that besides his Irish blood, the Quarry clan has a wee bit of
the Cherokee blood in em.|

yourself, Kent, Joe was very vulnerable after the first Ali fight. His
management knew it and that's why they kept him away from the big hitters when
they had other options.Mac Foster had something like 30 kos from 31
fights. Answer me this Kent: Who was the most dangerous opponent - Stander or
Norton, Daniels or Shavers, the second Ellis or Lyle ? Mix them around a bit and
you still get the same answers.It's funny that Frazier huggers find it
so unbelievable that their Joe might be vulnerable to guys like Norton and
Shavers and Lyle and even Foster, when a tomato can named Bruce knocked Joe down
and Oscar Bonvena dropped him twice.Frazier huggers are like that
Japanese soldier found in the jungles of Borneo some 25 years after WW2 ended.
