  • I've been unknowingly sleeping on Billy Conn!

    Dude was a beast!

    Insane combos!

    I just saw highlights of his fight with Joe Louis and he's a warrior.

    I've got to check out moooorrrreee!

      I favor him over most from 160-200 today.

        He was a terrific fighter.

          For as good as conn was, his ability to consistently trouble and almost beat Louis says more about the latter than the former. Conn wasn't particular hard hitting and he wasn't particularly hard to catch.

          What would fights with spinks, foster and holyfield (if there was a move to cruiser) have looked like?

            Conn was a great fighter.

            Really good resume and went through a lot of weights.

                Haha if only. Closest thing is probably fight night but I don't think conn was ever a part of that.

                  Yea. I've been hitting up EA trying to get them to bring that back.

                    Beautiful fighter. Great left hand.

                    I can only find his fights with Louis and a crappy version of his LHW title win so if theres any more around hit me up!
