Max Bear one of the best chins of all time?

And Schmelling put himself in the eye of the storm to exploit that ***** and took a fair few hard shots. Great victory for Schmelling that gets a little downgraded IMO.
Louis green? I'm not so sure, just think Max rounded off his education

Very well said.

Yes, to exploit the opening he had to swallow a fair few Louis jabs.

To be honest though, Joe did look a bit flat the night he fought Schmelling. He seemed much more lively and sharp early on against Baer. I could believe that over confidence might have been an issue, or just 'a bad day at the office'. Louis did have several of those.
