Frazier was a strong, "swarmer" style boxer who applied great pressure on his opponent and dealt out tremendous punishment with a relentless attack of lefts and rights; His left hook was especially stiff and quick when delivered during his bob-and-weave perpetual attack; He fought three minutes per round and never seemed to tire; He could take punishment too and not be bothered
Herb Goldman ranked Frazier as the #10 All-Time Heavyweight; Frazier was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1980 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990
