Nobody with a "very good chin" had any business being dropped and hurt by those opponents. The amount of times he hit the deck was bad enough but it's worse if you look at how often he got bambi legs(imo the true mark of a weak chin) if it had been anyone not named Louis with that kind of CV, they would be heavily criticized and vilified for it.
    - - Yet there U go again criticizing and vilifying Joe who indeed had "that kind of CV."

    Did Joe ever get knocked silly by 175 lb Henry Cooper or Butterbean like some other n'er do wells U rhapsodize over?

      As a matter of fact he was getting knocked silly by 175lb Billy Conn instead. Another appearance of Joe's bambi legs. And not Butterbean but Tony Two Tons, decked him.

        Some people on here claim Louis actually had quick feet. Numerous times I asked them to prove it with a clip. Guess what?

          Well his feet looked very quick like he was tap dancing after Schmeling landed that first right hand, would that count?


          I'll see myself out.

            Ranked fighters Joe fought who KDed him. Conn slices and dices Henry post haste and Two Ton caves Butterbean early.

            It's like U never seriously ever thought about the topic, a type of free random verse.
