fights? Hmmm. I've always thought this was a sort of balancing act between being
the urge to be the toughest guy in high school, money (of course - they're
pros), and risk. Why would someone fight someone who could give them problems,
when wildly lucrative fights with Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Holmes,
whomever were waiting? In the end, when I was retired, I really wouldn't care
what the fans thought, as the interest continued to roll in on my bank
accounts!I'd go with whatever paid the most, or a route leading in this
direction.|

to the site.I have a question.Bicycle,bicycle, I want to ride my bicycle? Those
are words to a song from a monster group from the seventies called," Queen".I
think their lead singer,Freddy Mercury, was born in Zanzibar.Any connection?|

his physical stature,his lack of weight and height,his short arms,was allowed by
nature only one style.That style was flat out,frenetic upper body
movement,combined with constant foward movement and contact with his opponents
bodymass.This meant either pushing or chasing. This type of style would probably
spell out a short career for any fighter who didn't have genuis management.As
for the fighters he supposedly "ducked',think about it! Lyle was totally beaten
by Quarry,I mean tactically and physically. Shavers had a one punch change.Even
Foreman couldn't stop Frazeir, with one punch.In fact,if cyou think about it,
Frazeir absorbed more solid,unprotected shots from Foreman than anyone before
finally succoming.Neither Folley or Patterson was strong enough to keep a
Frazeir blitz off. |

Mark Kram said in Ghosts of Mannila that Futch and Durham worked on
Frazier's bob and weave style for Ali. He always used it, but not as often or as
perpetual (bobbing up to twenty times a minute). They also made it even more of
a combination of defense, with a springboard to offensive moves than before.
I've watched both fights in slow motion in their entirety, and it's shocking to
discover that Frazier had a slight edge in solid head punches landed (body
wasn't a contest, since Ali never went to the body). In Manila, that was up till
Joe's right eye (the virtually blind one) had swollen shut. Then Ali hit him
with whithering right hands. Ali tried something else against Frazier that he
used against Foreman - jabbing off a combination, as ~part~ of the combination,
something fighters rarely do, but it didn't work.Frazier was difficult
to hit, his punches were coming in at 50-60, sometimes more a round, and his
style made other fighters hurry, or adapt to him. Actually, everyone except
Foreman adapted to him, even Ali, whose style was sort of a defensive offense.
