Originally posted by blackirish137 View Postthere is no possible way that Byrd was more of a natural Heavyweight than Louis. Thats a ludicrous statement. Byrd fought as a super middleweight before turning pro, while Louis was a natural HW for most of his adult life.
and yea, Byrd had almost no power, so you wouldnt expect him to hurt anyone, let alone Vitali. maybe you should rewatch Vitali-Byrd, because Byrd was in no way hurt the entire fight. In fact, on occasion Byrd made Vitali look pretty bad, as shown in round 5 of their fight, which can be found on youtube.
the point I was making in the first place is that it makes NO SENSE to say Louis would 'get murdered' by Vitali, when in reality not even Chris Byrd was really even getting beat up by him...outworked, and thats it. even if Vitali's shoulder was fine the whole fight, he wouldnt have KOed Byrd. (speaking which, neither did Wlad in Byrd's prime, although Wlad did kick his ass pretty bad).
and no offense to Byrd, I like the guy and all, but he doesnt hold a candle to Joe Louis.
6'2" compared to 6'5"/6'6". Four inch difference. It's not hugely common but power and speed, with brilliant combinations and skill can overcome that without much of a handicap.

Chris Byrd's Speed>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Joe Louis's speed
I mean thats just a fact. And as for tapes being sped up, its quite simple to figure out. Time is constant right? Like you dont believe that time moved faster in the 1920's, that 60 seconds back then was the equivalent to 30 seconds now do you? You also believe they fought 3 minute rounds right? Like Louis wasnt in any 2 minute rounders that I know of? ok, then time one of the videos. This has been done and on the video i showed the guy actually slowed it down to actual time. If a 3 minute round only takes 2 minutes from bell to bell...its running at 167% speed. Not that hard to figure out for anyone who passed algebra.

Did you go to the Sonnyboy school of measurement where you add 3 inches to every past fighter and subtract 3 inches from every modern fighter. Wlad is 6'6 1/2.

Forget it. No point in even bothering.

Man evolves and Klitschko brothers are superior to Midget Louis. Thoughts?banned.

For the record:
Vitali Klitschko: 6' 7 1/2"
Wlad Klitschko: 6' 6 1/2"
Earnie Terrell: 6' 6"
Buddy Baer: 6' 6 1/2"
Primo Carnera: 6' 5 1/2"

BTW someone needs to delete this dumb ass thread.
