If you watch the first fight Big George and his corner got upset about Frazier and his corner complaining about his tactics. Foreman did stop " pushing off " and just poleaxed him when he got in close.yancey wrote:Forget the second Foreman-Frazier fight. Bury it out back. Put it in a friggin' rocket ship and send it to Neptune. Frazier was an ABSOLUTELY SHOT FIGHTER in '76 and what happened is
not relevant in this discussion.
sigh.....
The Frazier of '69-'70 does indeed stand a viable chance of getting to the inside of '73 Foreman and sticking there. If prime Frazier gets inside and stays there, Foreman would wilt. Once Foreman started floundering things would go relatively quick and it ends somewhere around 7 rounds.
Just a bad , bad, bad matchup.
Trying to get inside against Big George would be like a quarterback tring to pass against a backfield of Ron Woodson, Dick "Night Train" Lane, Steve Atwater, and Ronnie Lott
