Schmeling never won a title from Louis!
Max became champ after beating Jack Sharkey and lost it to him via a controversial SD in the rematch.
When he beat Joe Louis, Louis was up and coming and THE next thing.
That's why Louis said that he doesn't feel like the real champ before he beats Schmeling after winning the title from Braddock. And that's one of the main reasons the rematch was so anticipated.
You'll have to study a bit before ranking the greats of the past.
