  • Joe Louis' best win?

    Can anyone here name Louis' best win and why?

    I assume many will say the second Schmeling fight, due to political pressure on both fighters at the time and to avenge his only loss at the time.

    Would Max Baer and the title win over Braddock be Louis' best wins?

    I have to go with the obvious with the rematch with schmelling. It's hard for anything to supercede this given the time frame and politics behind it.

        Louis' KO over Walcott is easily his best win

            True, Louis should have had a much easier time, but conn was no slouch, and got Louis on one of his worst nights, and Louis still found a way to win.. I always like those types of performances, where you struggle and look beatable but still find the way to win..

              Solving him in the rematch in the twilight was awesome.

                In a perfect world, Louis would've stayed retired on that win.

                He knocked Walcott out with a great combination.
