Why do people still put Joe Louis as the best HW with his outdated and poor mechanics?

[Dr. Z]

quickest way to defend yourself is to shove your head close to the opponents body where he can't get any room to punch you. This is why you see this. occasionally fighters today do it, like Marquez.

But Louis didn't clinch much or fight that way! Louis himself said he didn't like to be crowded and considered it weakness of his style. So what you saying is correct. In reality Louis own words and fighting style and tendencies are quite different.

Wow another person who can see and isn't insane came here and posted the truth

cause the crazy idiots always say how I'm so called wrong for calling joe and the whole era novices why be mad at me for telling the truth they look that way compared to 70s-90s

The crazy idiots never have or had video to prove me wrong i don't apologize for watching full matches that prove me right


This is from earlier this week watching on my laptop and srr side by side and a man named Clemente from 1978s vs danny is 125 and is moving way more fluid and way more advanced he is using feints on top of able to combo faster on top of using lateral movement

how about carlos a middleweight as ray was using lateral movement smoothly able to pick off shots from range smoothly and duck and counter smoothly

Srr looks sloopy stiff making mutiple mistakes im watchin him now vs joe he looks nothing like these guys so tell me what i need to research anything at when im watching and saying exactly what i see and dont
ray and this era looks to be very over extending alot of times to the body and are very hesitant in most movements

they dont fight from range much,they leave themselves open alot
alot of times will just throw to the body and not protect themselves the carlos era was able to protect to body with 1 hand while punching to the body

they use mostly counters when up close,the lateral movement is very basic they dont seem to be able to punch from range while doing it smoothly they have to stop then punch most the time and their feet are mostly tiptoeing instead of carlos era where its like their a quarterback ready to throw the ball

these wasnt big name guys but they clearly as are way more advanced then rays era on top of being more fluid and made less mistakes


I named srr cause he is the so called most skilled ever in all divisions he fought in when he clearly isnt top 50 and he would be destroyed by those guys on top of others from 70s-now

Srr and that whole era all had the same flaws every person they all were stiff slow sloopy and way to basic only crazy idiots rank these guys skill level high when they all were novices


The poster who made this topic used to be like you crazy idiots repeating lies and then he watched full matches and he seen the truth


Another ****** quote which has been repeated for years is joe was always in position which is a lie he never landed on a person often unless they stood still

with people who moved good he looked very lost and struggling to land he only beat conn cause he stopped moving so much conn made him look foolish

None of the fighters i named or mutiple other ones from 70s-now would struggle with conn or any other fighter from that novice era not only were as I explained uptop way more advanced but smarter in the way they fought

How many heavyweights moved like Conn or Ali? And did you ever stop to think it was Louis' punches slowing his opponents down? You have a very unrealistic view of how you think things were.compared to other era's.

Just a foolish ,harmless troll, bless his ignorant cotton socks.

I accidentally came across him on youtube, you would be embarrassed for having argued with him! To be honest I’m not even sure why he even posts here

These proponents of the "excellerated boxing style evolution between Muhammad Ali and now" theory. They take their approach looking at team sports that grew into their modern form after WWII. They support their hypothesis beleiving that they see the evolution viewing fight films. They are not accurate in their thinking.

Conveniently enough, as the quality of footage improves they deem boxing advancement. They watch an old low framed footage from a distance, and cannot differentiate the styles and skills of a different era because that requires high levels of attention to detail when viewing it. Now that footage is improving, the amount of comments like “wow, all of a sudden these cats look damn dangerous”, are countless. Boxing wasn’t some circus act at all, even in 1920. It was a seasoned sport even then. I think people would be embarrassed for underestimating the best fighters of the past if it somehow were to be simulated. So many unseen intangibles the typical fan would never come close to predicting. Their idea of what would happen is nothing short of a delusion in so passively brushing off the most powerful asset any fighter could possess, his heart. To think the past would not present a better candidate in the heart territory has got be the biggest delusion on this entire forum board. To think every fighting mans ego in 1922 would fade in an all out fight against todays best is laughable. Great people of the past, that rose to the occasion were operating on a completely different wavelength if going by biographies and even autobiographies. Why would the fighting ranks of these men, the high achievers be any different? Would a pitbull kept out doors all winter and constantly worked out; beat a pitbull on a good diet, who sat on moms lap its entire life? The pitbull inside has almost 20 lbs on the dog that is bred harshly. They think 100 years of fighting men learned nothing of fighting, and that their styles would not work, and they dont see the skills.
