Good fighter, but not great. Ali would have beaten him first time round had he not had been given the three year ban. Ali was not properly prepared and didn't give Frazier the respect he deserved in their first meeting. Of course, Ali defeated him in their next two fights, but it still rankled with him that he lost the first encounter. Foreman exposed Frazier's limitations to devasting and embarrassing effect. In my opinion,Frazier would have lost to other great sluggers like Marciano, Dempsey and Tyson. Overall, Frazier was an brave fighter and his awkward, positive style made it hard for opponents.
