Well,after Joe Louis's lay-off break down fights against Forman,Frazier 3 times,Shavers,Norton 3 times,Young,Bugner,Lyle,Bonavena,

Remember,this is AFTER Louis's 4 year lay-off!!

Not sure what you mean? As in won 11 lost 2 losing only to Norton & Frazier 1 a piece? Or between 70 & 77 (when these fights took place) Ali fought 26 times losing twice? How do you want me to break things down?

[Sugarj]

I interpreted it to mean that he wants you do post how you think the post war Louis would do against those guys Ali fought in the 70s Mickey, I may be wrong.

I'd rather take one at a time, its late....

[Spartacus Sully]

I thought he ment to say ali and not louis. Dont really remember a 4 year lay off just 3 for ali and 2 for louis? 67-70 or 48-50?

Joe Louis didn't fight between 1942 and 1946 due to the second world war. This was his forced layoff Ylem.

My appologies Buff, and thanks SugarJ.

whats the deal with jhonny davis in 1944 then? expo match?

And TBH Louis had a weak jaw. Joe Walcott floored him 3 times in total, which his relatively light fists. Liston, Foreman and Frazier would KO Joe Louis.

Thats not true at all, Walcott had good Power, And his Left hook was fantastic. Watch Walcott KO Charles then tell me he is Light fisted.

With regard to lay offs, some of the guys voting for Ali, are saying it wasn't Ali's fault.. I'm not saying it was either, but Louis hardly started the war either lol... Also, I don't think their final comebacks should be brought into this.. Both were too old & got owned by the new champ at the time, so it's hardly worth discussing..

staged 96 boxing exhibitions before two million soldiers? wouldnt really call that a layoff

more so just a break from actually getting knocked out. The davis fight was amongst those i guess but it was an actual title fight Since it was in new york.
