Do You Classify Joe Louis As Slow Feet, Fast Hands

[Docholiday]

Maybe not as slow as he looked. I believe it was his lack of intelligence in the ring that made Louis perhaps look slower than he was. He really was a low IQ individual as shown in his fights with Billy Conn and Joe Walcott. Outside the ring wasn't any better with all of his Tax issues.

I don't believe he was slow with his feet. If he was he would not have been able to cut off the ring as well a he did.

This is what you said "- - Pea trained by ol slo DumDuva was walking into southpaw Jose Luis Ramirez left hooks to the liver all night." Right? Im asking what rounds? I watched the fight live and I rewatched it yesterday. You're making things up, lying. If not tell us the rounds. That fight was a whitewash by Whitaker. Nearly a shutout and one of the biggest robberies in boxing g history. Pea made Ramirez look silly.[/QUOTE]

I hate that point . . . Wiggling your azz, sticking your tongue out while jumping around, without engaging, isn't great defense. It's a clown act.

The only fighter who looked silly was Pee Wee himself.

From these comments it's pretty obvious that you never watched that fight

Funny but Billy Conn also used Uncle Mike Jacobs as his promoter and when the war came in 1942 both men were deeply in trouble with the IRS.

Do you really think it fair to call a fighter s-tupid because he got robbed by a promoter?

I suspect you'll find few who weren't robbed.

Check out Willie's posts in the Lounge and you'll discover what his real problem with Sweet Pee was.

When you got nothing, yell racist.

Hell, fighters are still signing with Don King today after decades of King King ripping fighters off.
