Voted for Louis thus demonstrating that a third of those reporters who saw the fight from ringside scored it for Louis.
Louis was upset that it was a such a bad fight thats why he said ."Im sorry".
Louis wasnt a great boxer?
Who won a decision from him before he retired?
Only Charles the champion outpointed him when he was 36 years old and had been retired for 2 years.
Donovan gave Godoy one more round than the other judge !
You havent seen the 1stGodoy fight and so are not qualified to comment on it!
Like wise you havent seen the complete Walcott fight, only highlights,so are similarly not qualified to offer an opinion on it.
Louis was only about 60% of what he had been before the War,he said himself his last fight in which he felt like himself was against Mauriello way back in 1946!
Donovan was based in NY and was considered the premier referee of his times ,like wise Louis fought inMSG and Yankee Stadium may times Why would he not?
Name another fight refereed by Donovan and involving Louis in which you think Donovan's scoring was off?
In other words prove your claims!
You've accused Louis of lying about the Walcott fight.
You've accused him of having corrupt judges and referees to protect him.
You've accused Arthur Donovan of being biased and corrupt in Louis' favour
And you've made these charges without a shred of evidence to support your charges.
You havent changed one iota!
Louis and Walcott were the same age but boxers age at different rates.Louis lost 4 years to the War,during that time period Walcott had 15 fights!
Louis beat good boxers like
Ramage
Pastor
Farr
None were huge men,only Farr over 200lbs
With the exception of southpaws Louis fought an assortment of styles ,cuties,stylists,swarmers,sluggers.
In 69 fights,over 17 years, he lost 3. 1 when he was pre prime and overconfident, one when he had been in retirement for 2 years and was 36 years old,and one when he was 37 years old.All 3 of the men that beat him held the title at some point.
