Chuvalo said that Smoke’n Joe Frazier had the hardest punch. (I am reading Chuvalo’s autobiography now)<<
Ali himself said that he hit Frazier with his hardest shot and Frazier shook his head and smiled.
Again, IIRC, Ali said something like “that was the biggest moment of fear I ever felt in my life.”
Yeah, Chuvalo talks about that. When I lived in Vegas, I met Michael Dokes....he shook my hand up to my elbow. I couldn’t imagine being hit in the face with those mitts.....And he was no Frazier or Ali.
