    Louis BARELY got hit in his first career, when you fight as much as he was and you arenāt 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 donāt treat Louis like the champ he was because the footage from his era is so bad, but it is improving.
    No , Good defense and footwork is just that. The guard, ducking , slipping punches, fast feet, and head movement are things that Louis is lacking in the films. We can all see.

    Foreman would have no problem hitting Louis Really the best men that Louis fought in Walcott, Schemilmg , Charles, Marciano, the sub 170 pound Billy Conn all bettered Louis on the film on the scorecards.

    In most cases the other opponents who Louis fought would be journeyman cruiser weights or light heavyweights today, or mildly skilled heavyweights just north of 200 pounds. Yeah , you could conjure up the names of Buddy Bear and Abe Simon as 240 pound men ... those guys would not be in the top 25 today!

    Foreman fits none of the above.

      ^^^^^ Is working his way to another Defecation Award (and probably a Darwin Award IRL)

        - - Apparently your boxing experience didn't prepare you for stylistic comparisons, an absolute nightmare for Joe.

        Ali knew he dodged a big bullet with Clayton's quick count and never wanted to see George in the ring again, ducking the lucrative rematch for Wepner in Podunk, Ohio.

            Well, what do we have here? A poster who is new 2023 with a list of targeted people to troll? Yep. I would go through your list posts to verify the above, though I suspect the mods will ban you.


            Anytime a new poster has an agenda vs. older ones he / she is likely a fraud.

              Who is on his list? So far as I can see,so far it's you and Queenie .Seems a pretty good judge to me.lol
              How long does he/she have to be posting here before they can make comments ?
              Is there a probationary period that I am unaware of? if you want to spot a fraud on here.





              Look in the mirror! lol

                  You could always try actually contributing something of substance to discussions instead of talking smack about fighters you dislike or verbally sucking off the fighters you stan. Otherwise you’re a waste of my time and a blight on my computer screen.

                    I have no clue who TF you are, but that doesn’t matter: I’ve seen your kind on the internet for the better part of twenty years. If I’ve seen one of you, I’ve seen all of you. It’s obvious the only one with an agenda is you, and a racial agenda at that. You show it post after post. As I said before: Lose the ethnic nationalism, it’s about as ****** as it gets. Now I need a shower just from sharing the internet you.
