Better Jab, Wlad Or Joe Louis?

[Scott9945]

Wlad by a mile. He can win a fight with his jab alone not to mention he is about 60lbs on Louis and is faster. One of the best all-time.

Klitschko is NOT faster than Joe Louis was. Not even close really.

Wlad faster than Joe Louis?!!!!

Dear oh dear.

I agree, though Wlad does seem to be able to throw it in a more varied way than Louis.

Hank Klapnan once said that jab of Wlad would have put a smile in Joe loui's face. But its true that Louis did far more damage with his jab and was much more consistent with it.

Throwing it in a more varied way than Louis? Well he seems to paw alot with it and use it as a range finder. Joe Louis used it as a punch, a weapon! I can scarcely believe the votes so far in the poll.

Well throwing it in more varied way doesnot make it better mate..You know that I know that..Joe's jab was one of the best of all time...He battered people with it to submission something Wlad never can dream of doing...leave it..the Klits are rated highly now a days it seems, good for them.

He did never fight a guy over 5'11 did he? Buddy Baer was 6ft 6 , Abe Simon was huge too, as was Lou Nova (over 6) and a host of others.
Joe Louis fought guys well over 250 forget 210. Even a complete idiot like you can check Boxrec and those guys (Buddy Baer, Abe Simon) were natural big men who did not have to pump steriods like the Klits to get big.

Don't post garbage, there are lot of there already for it. Stop nuthugging and do check some facts before posting and making yourself look like a fool.

No kidding.....it's not like this isn't easily referenced:

Abe Simon 6'4" 255 twice
Buddy Baer 6'7" 250 twice
Primo Carnera 6'6" 260
Max Baer 6'3" 210

We are now waiting for the next excuse and qualification (ie "but Louis didn't fight anyone over 6'3" 210 with red hair") from Die :rolleyes9:

Joe Louis fighting one of those "fat" boys (which by Die's definition includes both Klitschko's and Lennox Lewis, among others.)

Louis did everything better than Wlad, IMO.

I don't believe Wlad is very good at all, and his jab is over rated by many on this forum. That jab would not be effective against a guy like Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, Ali, Tyson, or any good heavyweight of the past. The fact is Wlad has not fought anybody with the slightest bit of talent.
