Joe Frazier vs. Terry Daniels | Daniels In The Lion's Den | 

Breathe

That referee was no Arthur Mercante or MIlls Lane!

I was 13 when these guys fought. I grew up in the Philly suburbs so I read the result in the Philadelphia Inquirer as well as in the next issue of Ring Magazine. I have never watched a film of this fight until now, so I figured Daniels had just been a pushover who was lucky to land a good paycheck. Frazier was at his peak and doesn't need my accolades. What impresses me most is that Daniels fought hard and willingly got back on his feet to buck the odds as long as was physically possible or the referee would allow. Kudos to Daniels, who might have greatly benefited from another 20lbs of solid bodyweight. The days of elite heavyweights under 200lbs ended with Floyd Patterson.

Props to Daniels, who gave his all against an all-time great in Frazier.

Thats been the history of boxing since its inception, sometimes we as fans get lucky and get two great warriors but rarely does that happen anymore.

Amen.

facts fury is a lucky court jester among a league of bums and amateurs

You meant Joe Frazier.

Frazier!

Foreman should have gotten the title bout a year earlier than he did.

Yup, the Ali fight took so much out of him. In a way he won the biggest to fight of all time. The pressure on him and Ali for that matter was insane.

Daniels wasn't talented enough for psycho-cybernetics to help him capture the title, but it may explain why he held up and kept fighting as long as he did. Coined psycho-cybernetics in the book of the same name-- published by American cosmetic surgeon Maxwell Maltz in1960-- is nothing to scoff at. It is merely a fancy name given the disciplined practice of mental imagery that is practiced in some form by a majority of elite athletes in all sports today. The idea is to repetitiously train the mind to guide the body to perform at its best by visualizing exactly what such a performance would look like,---from executing technical skills specific to your sport, down to the very color of your shoelaces. When enough physical training is coupled with long-term imagery practice, the subconscious brain no longer knows any performance less than one's peak. It won't make every practitioner a champion in their chosen sport, but most certainly has played an integral role in many athletes' winning a championship.

Daniels was only about 190 pounds; a small Cruiserweight by today's standards.

😂😂😂😂😂

It's called being facetious; horse play, clowning. What happened to people today that they have no sense of humor?
