I use to love watching Smoking Joe Frazier, I like boxers who dictate the fight, always moving forward, they'll take two or three hits to land the knock out punch. Who are some of your faves?

The younger guys who only know Foreman as a big, smiling, chubby faced BBQ salesman need to watch some of his fights. The Foreman of today is NOT the Foreman of the ring.

Yeah, Foreman vs Ali is one of the best fights of all time. He wasn't so tubby in that epic

I'll second your choice. I recall reading he soaked his face in salt water to toughen the skin before a fight. Kind of aided in the wear them out beating on your head strategy.

Joe Frazier, The guy was a freaking freight train.
Long time ago I worked with a guy that was an amateur boxer, I would be talking to him a Friday and he would tell me all about the fight he had on Saturday, come Monday he would look like he got hit by a truck!
I'd ask him if he lost most times he'd said he11 no, I'd look a lot worse than I do if I'd lost.
I never understood the willingness to get your face pulverized on a monthly basis.

Favorite - Emile Griffith
Toughest - Carmen Basilio, could dish it out and take a punch. He looked like a fighter.

Basilio did stop a lot of right hands. Tough man! Fought in a tough era too.

Something clever here.
