[Cutman Scabbers]

Blowout or competitive? Styles make fights.

[zuru]

Joe rolls over Marvis like a redneck trucker,Folds him in half the 1st solid hook to the body.2nd hook to the head takes him out in the 1st round.

Absurd to even ponder

[goose 5]

I wonder how heated their sparing sessions were ?

[margaret thatcher]

how about prime marvis vs 1981 joe?

[goose 5]

Marvis-for certain.

I wonder how heated their sparing sessions were ?

Did they spar?

[goose 5]

Regularly-according to newspaper articles from Joe's 1981 comeback.

how about prime marvis vs 1981 joe?

That would be the only version of Frazier seen in the ring, that would lose to Marvis. Joe's draw vs Cummings was quite arguable. Since he fought on par against Cummings, the prime Marvis could handle him.

[Cutman Scabbers]

The father would have demolished the son within one round, maybe two at most.

Big, big difference in ability level and durability between these two.

Any boxing sons who would have beaten their fathers?

[margaret thatcher]

there are a number of them, but in those cases usually the fathers were totally unremarkable pros

chad dawson for instance, his dad was like 1-4 as a pro. robert guerro's dad was like 0-7 or something. fernando montiel's dad was 8-10. john fury was 8-4 and area level at best, yet his son is elite world class

in cases where both son and father were notable fighters, the dads have almost always been better. but there are some exceptions. cory spinks was better than daddy leon (obviously due to size wouldnt have won a head to head though). similar case for the terajis (imagine being 5'3 when your dad is 6'3). the mayweathers.

currently tim tszyu is looking like a nice fighter and closing in on a title shot, though not sure he'll be able to get near daddy

Tim Tszyu looking very good indeed -- and at a BIG 154, may well win the mythological fight with Kostya!
