Joe Louis hit harder than Tyson, Liston, Shavers all those big guys

pretty much. louis only weakness is probably a not so fast footspeed and a good but not great chin. neither weakness was a big problem. my dad said same thing about his chin

Not complete? There has never been a more complete heavyweight in history! pretty much. louis only weakness is probably a not so fast footspeed and a good but not great chin. neither weakness was a big problem.

Not complete? There has never been a more complete heavyweight in history! He said not compete. Not not complete. Not that it's any less ridiculous or your statement isn't true of course! Joe Louis was a champion in a weak division. He was good but could not compete at the top level against the modern greats imo. What did he lack that would mean he couldn't?

Let see the KO % of these Fighters based on their Official Boxing Records: Mike Tyson: 50 Wins (44 knockouts, 5 decisions, 1 disqualification), 6 Losses , 0 Draws, 2 No Contests KO Percentage = 88% Joe Louis: 66 Wins (52 knockouts, 13 decisions, 1 disqualification), 3 Losses (2 knockouts, 1 decision), 1 No Contest Source: BoxRec.com KO Percentage = 79% Sonny Liston: 50 Wins (39 knockouts, 11 decisions), 4 Losses (3 knockouts, 1 decision), 0 Draws KO Percentage = 78% George Foreman III has a 100 percent ko percentage. That mean he hits harder than big old mike?

Joe Louis was a great fighter and puncher no doubt, but I don't know if he hit harder than those guys though. There's really no way of knowing for sure though.

Why didn't Wladamir Klitschko ever rematch Corrie Sanders or Ross Purity?

That era also was dominated by Americans. So that's another reason why he won't respect it. All of the best American heavyweights have been exposed and destroyed by the Klitschkos and other Eastern Europeans. The same thing is happening in many other weight classes too. Soviets/Eastern Europeans weren't allowed to turn pro until the 1990s because of the cold war/iron curtain. Now Soviets/Eastern Europeans are allowed to turn pro and we're already taking over boxing and are dominating the higher weight classes. We're also dominating the amatuers. Most of those great amatuers will become great pros. This is just the beginning of the Eastern European domination. NFL/NBA is just another WEAK EXCUSE. There are tons of potential Eastern European Heavyweight Boxers who are doing Combat Sambo, MMA, Kickboxing, Hockey, Olympic Wrestling, Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Worlds Strongest Man Competitions, etc. America isn't the only country on the planet that has other sports you excuse-making crybaby morons. Eastern European fighters are superior. The Klitschkos are the negrocutioners. Wladimir and Vitali are the two greatest heavyweights of all time. Either Klitschko beats any HW from any era.

The ridiculously overrated Joe "bum of the month" Louis gets DESTROYED by either Klitschko. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a retarded delusional hater. http://files.sharenator.com/oh_you_RE_Masturbational_Motivationals_Dear_Blank-s447x335-180525-535.jpg

The era wasn't "white" enough at the top for you apparently :loser9: That era also was dominated by Americans. So that's another reason why he won't respect it.

Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age" In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years" Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement. That's a FACT.

Glad to see you telling like it is :allhail9: Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis THE TRUTH Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice. Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali. punches landed Vitali 156 Lewis 102 Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued. After the fight, Vitali intimidated the shit out of Lewis and made him look like a bitch. All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight. Lewis promised Vitali a rematch. Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight. Lewis turned down 30 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali. Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement. http://i34.tinypic.com/izb4on.gif George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!" Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight" Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch. Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

Primo Carnera, Buddy Baer and Abe Simon were 250+ lbs. They were all BUMS. Big Ray Austin destroys all three of them.

He was amazing. But EARNIE SHAVERS...man. Ali fought Shavers AND Foreman....and said Shavers was boss. Tyson and Louis were BEAUTIFUL punchers with KO power....produced by a combo of power, speed and technique. Just...different types of punchers.

you named 3 people. do an average of all the opponents he faced. now do an average wweight of all of Tyson's opponents. differet weight classes. Doesn't matter fact is he could knock out guys 260+ in even worse fashion than he did with smaller fighters, watch the rematch with Buddy Baer

i agree that he wasn't the hardest puncher, but he's most certainly the best puncher of all time, imo.

he set those punches up perfect and had no waited motion just pure accurate execution.

you gotta explain that gif that **** looks unreal.
