To me he is trying to fight too much like his father. This is not good. Some people are better with different styles. I don't know if Joe trained him to be a replica of himself but that style is not going to work for everyone. Everyone has a unique DNA. I think it's the wrong style for him. You see people try to copy Floyd's style and most fail miserably at it. It's because not everyone can fight a certain style. Our bodies are all unique. Also, Larry Holmes is getting away with measuring in this fight which I thought was illegal in boxing since in more recent times early 2000s with Wladimir I remember him and other fighters being warned for that. It's obvious that a person can be seriously injured or worse when fighters measure out their shots.
Yeah marvis was trained by someone as an amateur and then went pro, and Joe took over. Then joe tried pushing his style of onto marvis, which was incredibly bad.
Marvis only had 21 pro fights, but he won 19 of them. AND, he beat a few pretty decent fighters....James Tillis, James "Bonecrusher" Smith, Joe Bugner. His 2 losses....Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson.
We knew already..when Marvis start doing showboating,he was so afraid,he knew he was going to die...at least he get the money,he may not be a good boxer but he sure do how to make money...❤
It’s nice for a son to try to follow in his father‘s footsteps however, for Marvis boxing was not his forte. He took a beating to Larry Holmes and a beating to Mike Tyson. He won some fights, but he was definitely not a boxer and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way towards him.
Silly referee should have stopped it earlier. Obviously mismatched. Cynically used his father's brand name to make a bit of high risk cash. His father must have known his son does not belong in Holmes or Tyson's league
@@kennyblackbird5674 mike couldn’t see a prime Holmes he’s even said Larry is the best boxer ever in his prime. People give Tyson way too much credit for beating a 40 yr old fighter at 20 yrs old
He actually could fight. Problem was in was rushed into these big matches too early in his career, AND really the guy should have been fighting at light heavyweight.
Lol, Joe doesn't understand, that it doesn't work like that, that when father is legend, son will be legend too. No. It almost never happen. It should be expected. I don't understand, why he is suprised. It could be seen, he is good, but definitely not on the level of top 20 boxers, including his father (that for sure belongs there)
@@GoGetYourShinebox from his face. suprised, and disappointed. Just got reality check. He had 10-0 score before the match, so he had hopes, he will be his successor. But that 10-0 score was with no A tier boxer. He was simply B. Still good, but not legend.
Why do people think that Joe Frazier is legendary? Five combined fights with Ali and Foreman with one questionable, in my opinion, win, plus bouts with the likes of Stander and Zyglewicz and being dumped on your backside by Bonavena twice don't make a legend.
because he has beaten Ali, and when Frasier vs Foreman was going on, all experts gave greater chance to Frasier before match. Even lotery tickets were greater odds on Frasier, than Foreman. He was unstopable, he was Tyson of his age, unfortunately, his Prime didn't last so long... but same it was with Tyson. He was also unknockable. Only bigest bomber Foreman could put him on ground, but he was not able to knock OUT him, only knock down. He always stand up. Normal boxer couldn't put this lion heart at KO.
@@paulweir5031you aren’t thinking right, and that first Ali fight wasn’t questionable in the slightest. He also beat Bonavena 2x, Bob foster, Eddie machen, buster Mathis, Jimmy Ellis 2x, chuvalo, Doug jones and Joe bugner.
