    Louis could be rocked. But let's not act like it was a regular occurrence. Moore is left stranded at sea at the end of Louis' jab. And Louis doesn't make the kind of mistakes Moore preyed
    upon.

    Louis, like Golovkin and Arguello, could be exposed by smaller men who leveraged their mobility and defensive prowess. But again he never actually lost to that kind of fighter. Conn showed it was the angle to be exploited, but that kind of loss never actually happened.

    Moore had an impressive career north of 175. It's often over-looked. But he has no business sharing the ring w/ a mosnter like Louis.
    Nice post this

        Rusty, tell me something I don't know. I've been very busy watching NFL to answer your query, we'll get to you soon with your conclusions.

        Hey, Floyd Patterson destroyed Archie Moore. Marciano retired at the right time. Roberto Duran had no heart. Lew Jenkins and Fritzi Zivic were not real Champions, Mike Jacobs made them Champs, not by merit. Uncle Mike pulled the strings, matching them with whoever he wanted. Making sure they stayed his house champions. Excuse my ranting. It's half time. Peace.

          Moore gives Louis hell for a while, getting a Kd or two. At some point, Louis finds the punch to level it out. Joe by 10 rounds KO
