    DUDE, i didn't mean in in any disrespect to him and thats why i even said full respect to the guy.......

    i just meant as a boxer,...and what i said was true...he won the title by beating joe louis and lost it to him in the rematch.........the reason why it was so anticipated was because of the political situation prior to world war II......

    he is one of the all time greats as a character and a very humane person.....yes indeed!
    You don't give a **** about boxing history right?

    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.

      well i was a bit wrong yes..........but the record shows that he was involved in 4 world title fights..........1 vacant which he won by DQ over Jack Sharkey, he then defended succesfully against Young Stribling,,,,,and then lost it in a rematch to Jach Sharkey via SD...



      later on he knocked out Joe Louis in the 12th round of a non title fight...and then 2 years later when Louis was champ he rematched Schmeling and KO'd him in the first round...


      like i said, i fully respect the guy, but i still don't think he is a prophet of boxing......a very respected person most definitely and a boxing legend yes.



      one thing which i really have full respect and praise for schmeling is for the fact that at such a young age he went over to the states and boxed......hell man, was lufthansa flying daily flights to the states in the 20s and 30s.....

      of course not, who knows how much time he would have spent at sea....
