    as you said Louis busted up even bigger men. Size wonât matter anyways, this isnât that big if a size gap regardless.
    Louis was six feet one and a half inches tall.

        No ,just accurate. My source BTW is Joe Louis,from his autobiography.Posters have a habit of ,shall we say maximising the physical attributes of their pick in head to heads and minimising their opponents measurements.I'm not saying that has happened here but it is a fact.

        FYI. A fact is a true statement about a subject.

              Foreman via KO inside five rounds.

              Louis' chin is suspect when hit punchers. His footwork is slow. His defense is very hittable. Louis has a puncher chance but how good is that chance? Well , Frazier's hook did not do much to Foreman.

                  Big George just too big too strong and relentless for fairly stationary The Brown Bomber.

                    Louis has the style to beat George and decisively.

                      He’s not hittable at all and everything about his style is polished.

                      Louis BARELY got hit in his first career, when you fight as much as he was and you aren’t running.

                      the problem is people associate good defense only with slipping punches. Louis stance and balance gave you almost nothing to hit, thats why he would stalk guys and they found themselves backing up, even big fighters like Baer.

                      Foreman would try and take Louis out, his jab is the part that would make the fight competitive, but Louis likely gets a bead on George and tags him too many times, maybe even stops him. People really don’t treat Louis like the champ he was because the footage from his era is so bad, but it is improving.
