Joe Frazier - Was an American professional boxer who competed from 1965 to 1981. Widely regarded as one of the greatest Heavyweight boxers of his generation, he was known for his strength, durability, formidable left hand, and relentless pressure fighting style and was the first boxer to defeat Muhammad Ali. Frazier reigned as the undisputed Heavyweight champion from 1970 to 1973 and as an amateur won a gold medal at the 1964 Summer Olympics. Frazier emerged as the top contender in the late 1960s, becoming undisputed Heavyweight champion in 1970. In 1971, he defeated Ali by unanimous decision in the highly anticipated Fight of the Century. Two years later, Frazier lost his title to George Foreman. Frazier's last world title challenge came in 1975, but he was beaten by Ali in the brutal rubber match, the Thrilla in Manila. Frazier retired in 1976 after a second loss to Foreman but made a comeback in 1981, before retiring for good with a record of 32 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw. The Ring magazine named him Fighter of the Year in 1967, 1970, and 1971, and the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) named him Fighter of the Year in 1969, 1971, and 1975. In 1999, The Ring ranked him the eighth greatest Heavyweight.

I tried to imitate that head movement in sparring, but my problem is that it's the fear of getting hit. Joe Frazier had ice in his veins to do it against the top heavyweights.
Francis Tervil fear is good
exactly my problem! I have tried to do that and is the fear the one that stops me ! have you solved that problem yet???
julio mario orozco jervis First try fighting more like Qawi: only ducking when a punch is thrown and jabbing as your head goes down. If you can get that down, Frazier’s more proactive bobbing becomes more natural.
The problem is you can't see your opponent because you are looking at the floor.
I used to have this exact problem and I noticed it pretty much every time I sparred, only usually at the beginning of sparring, especially if it had been a while between sparring sessions. However I always found that as soon as I did get hit, my instinctive sense to fire back kicked in and I no longer feared getting hit.
It helps also to keep your chin down, grit your teeth, look at your opponent through your eyebrows and as your last line of defence, take any punches on the top of your head if you can't get out of the way or mop them up with your hands. There is a good chance your opponent will hurt their hands if they hit you on top of the melon and less inclined to throw as hard. Bernard Hopkins talks of this when he talked of "taking shots on top of your helmet".
I think developing your counter punching skills helps with this too, as you have to flirt with the danger of getting hit, moving just enough to avoid punches and return fire using the incoming force as a part of your strategy to magnifying the power you can deliver. Counter punching in my experience is best done by offering your opponent a tempting target to draw a predictable punch/punches. Having rehearsed for this over and over in your shadow boxing to pre-program appropriate responses into your body for when you need them. Like driving a car or riding a bike, initially it takes great concentration, but with repeated practice you trust yourself more and let your autopilot take over.
My lower back hurts watching this. Joe was the man
Joe Frazier GOAT
Love the way he punished his opponents with left hooks after slipping
crazy
Joe Fraziers style is a lost style in boxing today! Front foot heavy strong accurate blocks short ducks,slips and rolls than that heavy Left hook. Talk about Constant pressure! RIP to Fraizer & Ali ! haNZAgod keep up these wonderful videos Thanks!
Thanks 1st time watching Dereck Chisora. He does have a very similar style !
+Sam Owins probably because the style is very destructive to the boxer's body
David Linden he fought that way since he was a pretty short heavyweight and was in his best interest to use that to his advantage. Similar to how tyson fought aswell
The thing that caught my attention is you said heavy front foot...?
I'm not sure. He takes those small steps to keep his balance in the center more or less. Agree ?
What about Mayweather?
and all of this done with a legally blind eye so you can say he fought with one eye for his whole career
he only lost against Muhammad ali and George foreman who pushed and hugged him as a tactic
dannycool59x he lost against ali and foreman because they were better than him period fraizier is a legend but there is no need to make excuses for his losses
better is a strong word. Fights with Ali were close, and alot of clinching ofcourse. Foremans style is a complete counter to Fraziers. All three amazing boxers and all just as good as each other in their own ways.
@@dannycool59x49 Ali never pushed or hugged him once in The 3rd fight he won that based on a superior gameplan and all Foreman had to do was push Frazier's head down to drop him 7x. All 3 are GOAT'S but that was just ignorance speaking.
I'm just pointing out what I saw in the fights lol
Extremely underrated defense
Have been a boxing fan since I was 9, recently lost my passion for the sport and don't know why.
These videos really make me realize why I fell in love with it!
Thank You hanzagod
My pleasure mate.
+haNZAgod RIP Muhammad Ali
@@hanzagod you should do a video about John l Gardner defense
Is it me or did Joe Frazier have the most one dimensional yet highly effective style ever?
Agreed! All his opponents knew the left hook was coming but he beat them with it anyway!
poweroftheriff he was born to throw that shit! His left arm was slightly bent which gave birth to one of the greatest left hooks boxing has ever seen!
Id say that 1 dimensional-ness is what screwed him over against George Foreman, who would just swing at body level
If he had a true bob and weave like Jack Dempsey or Rocky Marciano, he would've done much better
Lachlan nigga u dont need to b undefeated to be good
True
Parry, Bob, weave, slip. Gotta love it
No One Was Better At Bobbing, Weaving And Ducking Than Joe Frazier. Definitely, One Of The All Time Greats!!!
Qawi was pretty good himself
Old school legend. It's not easy winning with him online against Ali but when you do...
💪it's wonderful!
Feels so good when you do. I even posted a video of me doing it.
He’s always on the front foot setting the tempo and controlling the fight. Legend
If anybody deserves a "routes to the body" video, it's Joe Frazier!
He does exactly what modern boxing gyms tell you not to , he bends from the waist but does it fast and with style truely amazing
Ps make sure to correct me if im wrong im still relatively new
Shadowsucks true.every great fighters got their own different style that fits their body.
Tbh. All gyms tell you to not bend waist. Almost all boxing greats to EFFECTIVELY use bob and weave used to bend the waist. No matter whether it was Dempsey, Qawi, Tyson, Frazier, Toney.
The list is endless.
Parried a ton of punches too at the same time. Sometimes you gotta watch Smokin Joe in slow motion to truly appreciate his skill.
Frazier had infinite stamina he’d beat all the modern heavys today foreman was actually a smart boxer but also one of the hardest hitters in history
@@Boxeo250 you have to be in top shape to keep up with prime Frazier's work rate. And I don't mean shredded or all muscle. I'm talking cardio to the max. He would drop many top heavyweights today with his vicious body hooks.
@@Ffeoli1039He was a monster who didn't wanna quit after 15 ROUNDS. Unheard of, he's a very, very rare breed of human.
Usually it's sloppy to duck and Bob from anywhere but the legs but Joe's waist made him more erratic. Timed the hooks well out of the crouch.
Actually bob and weaving from the legs is harder. Requires more energy from the leg muscles cause your squatting down and it leaves your head still up right so you can get caught. Watch a lot of defense masters and they almost all bend from the waist. Hurts the waist a bit but is actually better defensively
honestly i fucking love you hanzagod your videos mean theres at least 1 other person in this world who loves boxing as much as me..or more actually
Haha glad you enjoy the videos mate.
Imagine Mike Tyson fighting Joe Frazier, just two dudes throwing hooks and ducking. It would be amazing
Josh C. Headbutt mania
Joe wins
@@jaquavioussmith6150 Not likely. Joe's fantastic but Tyson's style eats up Frazier's style for breakfast. Look at what he did to marvin. I know Marvin's not have the boxer Joe was but if we judge by styles alone, Frazier probably wouldn't win bar some wild hook that might ground tyson.
Frazier vs tyson Frazier.tua vs tyson tua.wha? Because they could take more punches they did better work at it than tyson.
@@SenorPinataMan Joe is built like a tank he has endurance I watched the Thrilla in Manila fight 14 rounds and he still keeps going. He didn't wanna stop his coach said its over. I don't know if Mike Tyson has the oxygen to go past 10 if he does it'll be an interesting match up.
Great, fantastic and immortal Joe Frazier!!! Respect forever!!!
art in motion
This man couldn't be stopped he just dipped and countered with all types of punches from all angles, specially hooks, he made variations, so when he'd throw the hook you would not expect it.
love the style
Great video as usual Hanza. I really can't help but marvel at how much lower back strength and endurance this kind of defence must have required.
Yeah definitely
This style requires a lot of energy and dedication to training to utilize and the demands of this style tends to shorten the career of fighters ending their prime years earlier than they would have with other styles but considering. Frazier was shorter than the average heavyweight he had to resort to this style and considering only fighting with one eye his left hook was his go to punch
You have to take small steps to keep the balance of this style. It was about timing not speed.
Joe Frasier... Billy Bad Ass
Smokin Joe ...light em up
Even sharpshooters like Ali had trouble hitting Joe, with that confounding arrhythmic head and upper body movement! Tremendous endurance needed - just shadow boxing using his style is a good workout!
Lmao!! Why does the music go perfectly with his weaves and slips 😂😂 Bobbin to the beat! I feel this should be a new dance #FraizerBop
True
What's the name of the song
@@goyonman9655 Moody Sanchez - I Heard Someone Crying
Relentless aggression
One of my favorite boxers
Joe Frazier one the greats of his area.Smokin Joe RIP
Incredible, he would never have his hands by his head, they where down low to protect his body while, the bobbing and weaving protected his head
Fantastic video! Hands down bobbing and weaving with Ali=epic! Watching this makes you wonder how he ever lost a fight? Seemed so effortless
We dont see this style as its incredibly hard on the boxer
takes tremendous amount.of fitness drive a iron.will and chin Frazier made it work for himself brilliantly but styles evolve and every style is beatble
Jesse James lol it's not for u
Superhuman stamina to keep slipping
Ajay Singh because he used to work in farm sense he was a kid.
Smoking Joe Frazier. May he R. I.P. 🥊🥊
Amazing fighter!
Thanks for the video!!
Dope beat
I was inspired by this man and I'm pretty good in bob and weave but I can doing it moving forward, it is hard doing it approaching a fast lon-range hitter, this is a very hard skill.
Brutal rhythm.....just listen!
1:27 that left hook was nastttyyyyyyyy
Very
I think Ali said that was the hardest hit he ever received in his whole career.
Savage bro
Nice highlight of that technique
Joe frazier also did the cross guard defence as well
Would love to see him fight Dwight Muhammad Qawi. Two of the best defences ever
A lot of people forget that the amount of energy he was using in his 37 fights is something a lot of heavyweights could never do. That bob and weave with a jab and left hook switch to crab guard cross guard all while in motion. Imo that's why I rate him as the greatest because of his unending energy coupled with his toughness and ability. Give me one heavyweight today who can do what he did with motion.
He's definitely an all time great. I don't like to get into "greatest" debates, but I digress. Smokin Joe is a one of a kind fighter. He'd be successful in any era.
Awesome! I was hoping you'd make this!
Frazier greatest warrior in boxing
What a true GLADIATOR⚔
they are professional, difficult to imitate.
The only man to break Ali physically....!!
@Wiegraf more explaining please!!
I like the move of Joe frazier
For those who think Joe was a one handed fighter…look at 1:50
I feel like the fights with Ali made people think he only had the left hook. He threw that thing almost the entire fight. Thing is, it was Ali's weakness. He had to rely on the hook if he wanted to beat Ali
Yes, he’s definitely a one handed fighter. The guy literally blocked with his face and managed to throw a hard punch right after it. When someone gets hit hard (and it HURTS them), the opponent almost never hits BACK hard.
@@kcuba1228that’s false. People hit back after being hit hard all the time. Especially his opponent, Jerry Quarry, who was known for having a legendary chin. Every big punch doesn’t freeze an opponent. And as you can see; that one sent him sideways. Looks to me like he was preparing to throw that shot as he got hit and still launched it out of reflex, which happens a lot. He hit Ali with plenty big shots that Ali retaliated against, including the left hook that he was famous for.
Smoke told me at his gym himself that the first fight against Quarry was his toughest
Pretty good at parrying too. 01:36 looks so cool
Smokin!
Top 5/10 boxers ever
Great video!!!!
That style just looks like it takes a lot of energy. Bending at the waist like that.
One of the reasons I think he had a short career. That and his "take 2 to land 1" didn't help either
despite that this man can go all 15 rounds bobbing and weaving. thats insane
@@Ffeoli1039rather because of his 2 bouts with foreman and 3 with Ali.
Else he prolly could have gone further.
Bit of an under rated fighter. He is always portrayed as just being tough as hell. He is rarely credited for his technical ability, defense most of all. Certainly he had all the heart in the world but he also had an amazing defense as long as he was moving forward. Wen unable to back his opponents up, like Forman, he became vulnerable. Other fighters like this are mike Tyson and Roman Gonzalez. He also was so fluid with that leaping left hook, I don’t know if any other fighter who could put that much into a punch without telegraphing it.
Salute to Joe Frazier the Legend. What beat / song is that??
Moody sanchez - I heard someone crying
I'm a huge Ali fan, but I will admit Ali was wrong when he said Joe had no style. Frazier deserves more respect on the pfp goat lists
Heavyweights tend to not get rated highly on P4P lists. I do think Frazier is a top 10 lock at Heavyweight though, at least for me anyway. Great fighter.
Clip at 0:28 is just class...
Joe danced in his own way
i love that revitalized philly shell he had
it's a cross guard
good shit
What’s the name of the song?
Moody sanchez i heard someone crying
great video who did the music production what song is this Joe Frazier
Dwight Muhammad Qawi and Mike tyson had almost the same style as Henry Armstrong Hope you Can Do a video showing the four of them
I could but I do have multiple videos of them all so I'd only be using the same clips used in those.

How I can like Joe this generations
Hanzagod what is the song? I wanna buy it off itunes
@@acejasareno8698 Moody Sanchez - I Heard Someone Crying
Frazier could have beaten Ali again had he kept in shape
I cannot find this version of the song anywhere
What is the song and who is singing please?
@@allensayigh9625 Moody Sanchez - I Heard Someone Crying
@@samarium1934 Thanks!
01:26 Mohammad ali : so that's how it feels like
fraizer awakened the ultra instinct
At 25 seconds Joe hurt Ali at the end of the 3rd round.
Very unique and effective style. Shit aint work with Forman tho...
I don't think the outcome would be any different, but Foreman was getting away with a lot of pushing. Joe needed to be in his rhythm to start smokin. If Joe survived the early rounds, I could see Joe actually get some work in on Foreman.
@@Ffeoli1039 very good point. Was never a big forman fan. Always loved joe tho. Good ole country boy with a heart of gold. He represented the south like a stud, and had in my opinion the most devastating left hook ever. And that includes tommy morrison..
@@brasstacksboxing409 best part about smokin Joe was he was very classy and humble about his lose to Foreman. Frazier was a class act.
@@Ffeoli1039 joe took the loss very well. even greeting foreman during a shavers vs quarry fight. whilst also confronting Muhammad ali
Which version of Tobacco Road (song) is this?
Amazing but so risky... Far far from fundemental, but he is one of a kind. So powerful and unpredictable.
Could you make a Curtis Stevens highlight please? I can't find one anywhere on your channel.
Got one already. Maybe copyright restrictions in your country don't allow you to watch it? Definitely have one up on my channel.
+haNZAgod I live in London so I must be able to see it.
Negan's Dad No idea then ua-cam.com/video/Xz70hPneL8c/v-deo.html - Works perfectly for me.
Negan's Dad what kind of profile do u have
I want that beat please lmk
Name of music, please.
Please someone tell me the song name
La zurda de hierro
His torso was like a tank.
My coach always tell me not to bend from waist when bobing and weaving.
minh tru man got different body
“JOE FRAYZEEUH”
Lol!
He looks like James Toney.....or the other way around....
NO!
real life Ippo Makonuchi
1:11
I think Frazier was Ali’s toughest opponent not foreman.
Ken Norton
Andrew chopin good shout
* casually throw a jab combo that ends with a hard uppercut* end of fight goodnight fellas. in case you were wondering what a Mike Tyson VS Frazier fight would look like.
Just to add to that, people seem to think this is the same peekaboo bob and weave Tyson Damato style, that s wrong because frazier didnt duck to extrem sides and never changed angles of footwork, he also didnt shift his weight along with his head to a side while throwing a jab,hook or body shot like Mike did while throwing any of those.
If this is a bob and weave style id call it Peekaboo v1.0, and call Tyson s style Peekaboo v5.0 perfected to the bone.
Frazier didnt throw a variety of shots either and would only come after you in a straight line, they really didny fight the same.
@@hi._.golgo137 it all comes down to Joe surviving the onslaught. If Joe dragged him into the late rounds, Mike is gonna be in trouble.
@@Ffeoli1039 I think frazier was too tough for tyson, when Tyson came against someone with a good chin he was in trouble
@@yentamoon1808 Yeah, I tend to see Joe getting on the inside easy and while Tyson was a decent inside fighter, he wouldn't be able to keep up once Joe started smokin. Tyson never really was able to clinch or tie up well, and I don't see him keeping Joe off him for too long.
@@Ffeoli1039 tyson was Best inside fighter not decent
Today’s boxer don’t bob and weave anymore they just slip
Not many people fought the way Joe did. qawi was probably the closest. His defense against holyfield was pretty nice
Sad but true :(
that ducking opens to the opponent's uppercut
Paolo Montemurro so he did it with cross arm guard.
Forget pound for pound, and joe frazier was pretty much the 2nd best boxer ever, or 1 of the best. And if he was born in 1985 he would be weighing aleast 230 or 240 right now.
Just out of curiosity, why do you think he would of weighed that?
Bobby Fischer ppl are growing much bigger now... There are so many more supplements, facilities, drugs, knowledge scientific advancements which are making athletes bigger and stronger.. joe weight 205 to 210 in his prime... of muscle... if he was born in 1990 I believe right now he would be weighing more. Atleast 230... dont know how far he could push. . whats ur opinion
Makes sense. I agree.
I always appreciate people who recognize this, the fact is that they are getting bigger and all the heavyweights back then would of been bigger if they were around nowadays. Personally I think Prime Frazier would have been a bit trimmer at 225-230 but imagine that left hook.
Kaiser Koba yes ur right.. his left hook was oversized power.. even in comparison to his other punches and even in comparison to the biggest punchers ever foreman tyson and others, his left hook destroyed everyone except for Ali and Foreman. At around 230 sounds realistic and yet his left hook would knock clean any of these heavies even 260 lbs tyson fury
This head movement is about timing not speed.
For sure. Joe had constant head movement and had such irregular rhythm.
ATG
The only weakness of bob and weave is if you let it become too rhythmic and predictable.
Had Ali heard about uppercuts?
✝️
Joe Frazier was Mike Tyson before Mike Tyson was Mike Tyson.
I'd say Floyd Patterson would be the prototype for Tyson
good head movement i love it i think its cool and cooler than mike tyson head movement but its all useless to fight george foreman.
You can say the same about almost every fighter in history though. Most all time greats have taken several losses, everyone has weaknesses and clearly Frazier didn't match up well stylistically with Foreman. His defensive skills were still very good against other champs and contenders.
@@hanzagod wow i am agree. you are so humble stay humble even got over than hundread thausand subscribers and i've subscribe your youtube channel cause your boxing knowlagde are amazing to me.
Thanks man!
