  • You showed like 4 rounds of a 13 round fight. ESPN showed pretty much the whole fight and Conn was dominating him. Louis caught him, but Conn was doing a paint job on him.

      I can upload the whole fight on youtube. From what I remember Conn was winning but not dominating.

        Oh my god please do. That's one of my favorite fights.

        What is your full fight collection? Because I can't even find full fights of fights back then, only a couple of rounds like what you posted.

        • Highlights of all rounds except the third:

            It will take a while to edit and upload the fight.

            I have many almost full fights which might miss a round or two. It's rare to find any full fights from those days even though they do exist.

            For example I uploaded the Marciano-Louis (missing one round) and Pastor-Louis fights which most people have probably seen only a round or two of. Next I'll try to upload the controversial Armstrong-Garcia rematch which is not a full version (some rounds are only about a minute and a half or two minute highlights).

              Do you have a full copy of Joey Maxim-Sugar Ray Robinson?

                It's one fight that I haven't been able to find any additional footage of so far.

                I have the full Ray Robinson vs Denny Moyer II fight which most people probably haven't seen but it isn't as intriguing since Sugar Ray was over 40 years old. He did look good though, considering his age.

                  The Robinson-Maxim fight is listed in his career set on a lot of sites, so I was wondering if it was the whole footage.

                  How many Robinson fights are the whole fight or most of it would you say exist?

                    A lot of his past prime fights probably do but before retirement I'd say that full film of Robinson-Fusari, Robinson-Dykes, Robinson-LaMotta VI, Robinson-Olson II, Robinson vs Turpin I&II, Robinson vs Graziano can be found, atleast almost.

                    Some of his fights during the European tour ended so quickly that the highlights are pretty much all.

                      You're not worth the time mate. You know you said it.
                      I haven't seen you quote me yet. Why don't you just tell everybody the post number and we can all look for ourselves. You opened your mouth, now back it up.

                      Really mate? This is what a genius looks like to you?
                      Compared to your drivel, absolutely.


                      He almost beat PRIME Holyfield and some believe he won. That's not something anyone can do against a prime Holyfield, especially not an "old shot Holmes" years AFTER getting destroyed by Tyson.

                      How convenient that you left this out, Jabbie. It's pretty difficult to get this through your thick skull, innit?
                      But he didn't win, did he? And if he did so well how come you aren't critisizing Holyfield for almost losing to a ring worn old fighter who had already lost his title to a lightheavyweight?

                      And I never said Mercer was an ATG. But he was very solid. He alone would mutilate almost everybody in Louis' Bum of the month pathetic padded title reign.
                      I never said he wasn't solid, but he was certainly limited. If he wasn't why did he lose to OLD Holmes, get a boxing lesson until landing a big shot on Damiani and LOSE to Jesse Ferguson and then struggle to a split decision win in the rematch?

                      Overcoming adversity against a Frazier or Foreman or Bowe is respectable. Getting spanked by a Light Heavyweight for over 10 rounds aint.

                      Lol, but he wasn't getting spanked, still knocked him out, and ko'd him in the rematch. You lose again.


                      Are you affraid to admit it now? I'm glad I put some sence into you then. I'm sure that if I wasn't around you'd joing the circle jerk and always claim Louis' title reign was the best.
                      Actually I wouldn't. I've never believed his title reign was the best. But its very good and much better than many.

                      Now, before you moan again about where you said it and becoming even more paranoid, why won't you tell us how you'd rate the Bum of the month club title reign?
                      I'd be happy to as soon as you list all the fighters with better title reigns and why. Im still waiting on that but you've conveniently ducked that question. I can only wonder why. Scared?

                      How convenient that you left out the part where while Tyson was gettin the **** beaten out of him, he KNOCKED DOUGLASS DOWN FOR OVER 10 SECONDS. There you go, I just shattered this comment.
                      And you've conveniently not answered why Tyson was getting beat by that caliber of fighter when he was in his prime. Oh, and if Im not mistaken Douglas beat the count. It could have been 30 seconds, the refs count is the only one that matters, or are you not familiar with the rules in which the WBC held up to upon Kings unscrupulous appeal?


                      He was on his way, and that's bad enough. Tell me, if a young monster George Foreman was getting destroyed by Roy Jones for 14 rounds, but THEN he KO'd roy in the last round, are you not going to critisize Foreman even though he won?
                      A win is a win, its the bottom line no matter if you want to critisize or not. Difference is, Louis wasn't getting destroyed and removed all doubt in the rematch.

                      Watch the fight. Everyone knows Walcott was robbed.
                      Hey I thought Walcott won too. But the judges didn't see it that way and again Louis removed all doubt in the rematch.

                      And what a brutal, comprehensive beating it was that Louis took. I didn't see Ali or Lewis get this kind of long spanking when they reached their prime.
                      TheManchine has already pointed out Ali's struggles and Lewis was knocked cold by McCall and Rahman. Do I really need to go over their stellar careers?

                      That's ok, I wouldn't expect the Joe Louis cornhole lickers to agree with me.
                      Lol, is this the best insult you've got? Me not agreeing with you has nothing to do with Louis. I find it difficult to agree with anyone who is clueless about the subject at hand. If you want though, you can take a little comfort in the fact that you aren't the first moron I've torched on this subject.


                      Oh, so Jabbie, does this mean that YOU are beaten and humiliated? Look here
                      Hardly. When the overwhelming majority of knowledgable posters start agreeing with your twisted facts and warped logic you can ask me that question adain and I might change my tune. Unfortunetly for you though.......I don't see that happening anytime soon.


                      I answered every silly little question you posed. It's you who is always avoiding questions by not responding at all or adding something immature like "lololol" which already shows you lost.
                      Still waiting on those reigns that were better than Louis'. And child, if we added a poll to this thread to see who got the better of who, do you really think I would lose? Lmao!! Lol!! Lol!! Bwaaahaahaahhaaaahaa!!!

                      Very cute circle jerk there lads. And you're all supposed to be some know it all old farts who are boxing historians? I think you're the clowns, mates. Don't get mad.
                      I don't think one of us thinks we know it all. But compared to you we're experts, open minded and objective. But don't cry little man, stick around and you may learn a thing or two.
