The top 5 would be Ali, Fury, Holmes, Frazier, and Deontay Wilder. Wilder is the single hardest hitter, Frazier is just slightly behind. Holmes is the energizer bunny. Ali is the all arounder and Fury is a fucking bitch cunt

If we assume equal skill, yes Frazier would have the advantage. You can afford much less mistakes when playing Ali against Frazier than vice versa.

Is overall rating not really indicative of how good a fighter is?
It is but you have to consider that its an average. Ali is much faster and has higher health recovery. Frazier has much stronger punches and block recovery, things like that. The extra points could be accumulated from less meaningful stats like the stat that makes the stand up from knockdown minigame easier. Doesnt matter, its easy across the board and you can get up 5 times with anyone.

Thanks. Is Frazier able to hang with all of the heavyweights, or does he have any bad matchups?
Frazier is probably the second most played fighter behind Fury (the cunt!) and for good reason. He can definitely hang with anyone else in the game. The speed that you can get off a leaping hook, and then another, and another, its crazy OP. They can spam power leaping hooks like anyone else would be spamming jabs. Wilder and Morrison have similarly overpowered single power strikes, Morrison just sucks everywhere else statwise.

I won’t spam the leaping hook because I want to play him how he really fought. I’ll mix the leaping hook in from time to time. Is Frazier still really good if you don’t cheese spam the leaping left hook?
Looking forward to playing this one.

Do you guys play EA UFC?
I played it a little but I suck. I’m not really interested in putting the time into it to get better when Undisputed is around the corner. I’ve had quite a lot of fun with UFC games over the years, but I never got into them the way I did with Fight Night Round 3 and Fight Night Round 4. I liked those boxing games way better than any UFC game, and I put more time into them, and I was a much better player than I was at the UFC games.
Ah, yeah I play that one a shit ton. Hard to find anyone else who even likes those games, but I love em.
I love boxing games even without Joe Frazier, and then add in the fact that he’s my favorite combat sports athlete and I get to use him in the game, and I just have a ton of fun.
I’m really excited about Julio Cesar Chavez being in the game too. I hope he’s good in the game, like Frazier is. If he’s one of a group of five best guys in his division like Frazier is, that would be perfect. I don’t want him to be overpowered because then I feel lame for using him, but if he’s really good, and nobody is overpowered against him, but there are a few guys on his level, then that, to me, is ideal.
Im pretty much the same but my favorite boxer at HW is Ali !

They took out the LHW division in online ranked (at least in early access) otherwise I would have only played there as RJJ, the only boxer I like more than Ali

I used to love fighting RJJ with Frazier in FNR4. RJJ had a lot of advantages but Frazier was more powerful and more durable. So, if you weren’t taking an absolute ass kicking, and you could get some licks in, even if RJJ was winning, you could turn the tide as the rounds wore on. I loved busting his ass, but it wasn’t easy if the other guy was good.
Marciano vs RJJ at Cruiserweight might be a good fight.
How good is Marciano at Cruiserweight?
Dunno, I only play HW and hes not that good there. Not even sure they have Rocky anywhere but HW. As soon as I see him pop up I know its gonna be an easy win. Very heavy hitter like Wilder/FRazier but fuckin slow, did him dirty on toughness as he goes down easy.
