Frazier came out for the first round moving and boxing, but Frazier's change in tactics did him little good.

If anyone wonders how both men weighed 224 despite the size difference, it's because Joe's heart was so massive.
He improved alot 2nd time around against foreman,foreman was great tactician,really odd he lost to Ali,he only took a few against Ali and was doing well and Ali on ropes he could of easily been hitting his head but always arms,don't sit right.
Big George would have done the same thing to Mike Tyson 🥊
