Frazier sure had a funky style with all that twitching.

Eddie Futch was Joe's trainer and got him to go with that style. Futch also trained 3 other fighters that beat Ali in his career------Ken Norton, Trevor Berbick and Larry Holmes. He had Ali's number for sure.

Back in the late 50's and into the early 60's, Floyd Patterson used the same style(Peek-a-Boo) to win the heavyweight title and become the youngest man to do so at the time. He was trained by Cus D'Amato who also trained Mike Tyson who then became the youngest man to win the heavyweight title.
