How does Joe Louis do against these fighters?

[Knockdown]

Ron Lyle was also a tough bastard who could take a shot....something Louis never could do even against average punchers.


Lyle would knock Louis out too.

Out of 69 fights, Louis was knocked out only twice. Both of them were to good punchers in Schmeling and Marciano. He avenged the Schmeling loss. The Marciano loss came when he was old, past his prime and bald. Before the stoppages, he took some very good shots.

If you're referring to the knockdowns in his career, so what? He was able to recover and that's the spirit of a true champion.

but against whom did he receive those knockdowns ?

B. Baer, Walcott, Mauriello and Galento. Each of them had a good pop, in their punches. Especially (Buddy) Baer. He had 47 knockouts in 51 wins.

He really should have never been knocked down against most of them though. I think this is another reason why so many people don't see him doing well in these matchups because they get the idea Louis was small and fragile.

you forgot marciano and i think also billy conn or some other supermiddle , who knows whom else you forgot.
also : if galento knocked him down , what would tua do ?
if marciano mauled him , what would tyson do ? don't you get the pattern ? or do you just ignore.

Louis wasn't knocked down against Mauriello. Stunned but not knocked down.

I was talking about the ones in which he came back to win. And Louis wasn't down against Conn.

Louis wasn't knocked down against Mauriello. Stunned but not knocked down.

You might be right. I haven't watched that fight but read about it.

[TheGreatA]

Joe Louis was the Tito Trinidad of heavyweights when it came to taking a punch. He was often knocked down early but rarely hurt in any of those knockdowns. I'd go as far as to say that he took a good punch and certainly recovered from being hurt better than almost any other boxer who ever lived.

sweat pee , is that you ?
i mean , how many poo heads from the US can be in a boxing history forum and disagree with me ? only one can be at your level of lunatic ignorance and idiocy.

I don't think you'll find it too difficult to find people who disagree with your ignorant moronic views.
