Joe Louis Is #1 Heavyweight Of All Time

[Orange Sneakers]

Here's what Joe Louis said about Ali in 1967:




Frazier vs Ali


Norton vs Ali

Man, exactly what I was thinking! Nice one, Joe (L)!

joe louis was great, but i don't put him ahead of ali.. if u put joe louis in ali's era, he would be behind ali, ali was just too good and smart.. ali's the greatest hw of all time imo

[Chunk..]

UNDISPUTED

Louis was fighting bums of the month, right? How come he had trouble with so many of them?

Rocked and knocked down by Gallento. Rocked by Baer. He was on ***** street against Billy Conn, a guy who was functionally a LHW that night, and not a big hitter at all. Down three times against Walcott.

That's not even mentioning the loss to Max Schmeling.

Louis was a very good heavyweight. But he was far from the greatest.

When Ali fought Foreman Norton Frazier etc , he was not in his prime are you aware of that , his speed was not near what it was earlier ,,,, you can run but you cant hide lol , Ali stood in front of Foreman and let him punch him like he was a punch bag and you think Louis is gunna hurt him even if he could catch him , Foreman is a huge puncher ,, look at what Ali done to one of the greatest light heavys in history in Bob Foster , then look at Billy Conn and Ezzard Charles with Louis ,,, prime Ali at 6'3 and a 4'' reach advantage had to much speed and to good of a chin for Louis , he would beat him up and drop him off inside 10 rounds .

IF LOUIS WENT AROUND SAYING EVERYDAY "I'M THE GREATEST", LIKE ALI DID, EVERYONE WOULD THINK LOUIS WAS THE GREATEST......END OF DISCUSSION....I'M DONE TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO CAN'T ACCEPT THE TRUTH........ONE MORE THING, HOW COME NO ONE IS COMMENTING ON FOREMAN/ALI FIGHTING IN HOT ASS AFRICA, IF IT WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE, THE OUTCOME WOULD'VE BEEN DIFFERENT.. JUST LOOK AT WHAT HAPPEN TO SUGAR RAY ROBINSON WHEN HE FOUGHT JOEY MAXIM....NUFF SAID

Umm, Ali was fighting in 'hot ass' Africa as well. He was just better conditioned.

Lennox Lewis was not the best, he was in a weak era which isnt his fault but still.

Weak era? He has a top notch resume.

[Chunk..]

Weak era? He has a top notch resume.

The fella must be either as thick as **** or is fishing!?!?!?

Lennox Lewis beat ALL of the best fighters of his era and did it hansomely.

[K-Nine]

Lennox Lewis wasnt the most talented, and he didn't have the best wins. His two best wins came against guys who were well past their primes. One who hadn't seen a prime in damn near 10 years. Please.. he is far from the best. Top ten.. top 5 if you feeling generous.
