"Wlad only fought Bums" while "Joe Louis is the GOAT" ???

[Joeyzagz]

Because Louis was the good black who loves the nation and army and beat the evil Hitler's man , so if he wasn't given money , he should be given some legacy at least


FYI, No one knows the name of Louis outside the states

My opinion , both are good boxers but never to be one of the ATG .

You say no one outside the states knows Joe Louis, but start your post with a guy outside the states who knew Joe Louis...

They were both bum of the month club champions. Lots of other champions fought many bums too. Its all apart of boxing. Louis gets a lot of love, because of the second Schmeling fight (US vs Germany) and for the fact he went into the Army during the war. I think if they fought each other, Wlad would win. He's way bigger, but I think Louis' knockouts were more spectacular to watch.

Since when is "Sanders Wlad's best opponent"? Last time I read threads here Sanders is a joke and Wlad is a joke for losing to a joke like Sanders.

Very few consider Sanders a bum, very talented imagine if he took the sport more seriously

In terms of greatness, Louis wins. He has some great wins, some over a lot of bums of course due to the time he was fighting where professional boxing was not a full time job for many.

Louis' size is underestimated to be honest.

Not only would have been able to gain more lean effective muscle mass with modern training, decent nutrition through formative years could have increased his height by a good few inches (average height of America has gone up by around 3-4 inches in the last hundred years).

Wlad would have been bigger but it wouldnt have been a superheavy vs a light heavyweight like some people think.

Well tbh Wlad >>>> Joe Louis without a doubt.

SMH @ this thread.

.... The thread creator should be banned.. found, beaten to broken bag of bones and then tortured until the heart gives out.

Joe Louis was The Heavyweight champion though. Wlad is merely a title holder with his brother.

Joe Louis didnt need a 6'8 sibling to help dominate a weak division. He did it alone. So yeah a guy who dominated single-handedly is always going to be more impressive than the combined efforts of two.

Joe Calzaghe on the other hand....
He fought everyone and all challengers in his prime vs... their past it sell by date!
HYPOCRITE FAN AT THERE BEST RIGHT HERE!!

Never thought I'd give a David Haye fan green K but I guess I will now.
