Did anyone catch Max Kellerman's comment about GGG fighting like Joe Louis? WTF

Louis completely outboxed and outclassed all the top fighters of his era. Any comparison was to promote the HBO fighters. Not too different from all the NBA players over the last 15 years being compared to Michael Jordon.

Originally posted by B-Bomber View PostI think he looks more like Chavez Sr , style wise.
The one thing he uses like Joe Louis is his jab. He throws it to track his opponent when they try to move, so that to set time and distance for his right hand.
For the rest , Joe Louis fought from a different stance, with his head on a false angle and crouching more than GGG.
Joe Louis' hand speed and combination punching was also better , considering he was an HW.
As a side note, there is an interview in which GGG's trainer clearly states his idea of having GGG fight like Chavez sr . It's somewhere on you tube.

I dont see it. Definitely a Chavez Sr. In there but Louis? He relied on actual boxing and habdsoeef more so than his peer and pressure. He knew where to throw and when to throw without having to walk guys down necessarily. Dude was a special fighter in the truest sense. One of the most balanced styles ever. Even more so than Ali for instance.

Sorry but I don't see it either, Max is slowly becoming the most annoying person on sports tv.
I see Chavez Sr a lot, less head movement but you can see that. Max is almost becoming unwatchable.

And Ward isn't the type of fighter to move his feet to avoid danger, he's a carbon copy of B-Hop who keeps fighters wary with punches then when they try to close in Ward/Hop grabs on and stifles their offence! I've no problem with that they're some of my favourite fighters!
Now for the longest time I've said Ward will beat GGG but I'm beginning to feel that Wards inactivity combined with Golovkins solid technique, cast iron chin, intelligence not to mention concussive power will overwhelm SOG.. Ward May be B-Hops heir apparent but he doesn't inherit his chin which can be checked!
