Floyd is 23-0 in title fights..2 away from Joe Louis's record

[bojangles1987]

Add them up you tell me the exact number of losses of Joes opponents .

time: 0:53 | referee: Billy Cavanaugh | judge: John Sturges | judge: Frank Forbes
Heavyweight title at stake per New York State Athletic Commission ruling

If you want to go on about ratings , everybody Floyd ever fought after winning a title was rated 1-2.

fck you guys pull BS out your ass just to hate on Floyd , as a fighter Joe Louis is not in the class of a Mayweather , Joe was a big puncher in a very weak era , they even made a documentary about the bum a mth brigade .

IronDan got called a Floyd hater, I ****ing love it!

That's not, and wasn't considered a legitimate Title Defense.

If anyone was consider that a legitimate Title defense, that would mean Louis had 26, not 25. But because that isn't considered an actual title defense, he is universally recognised to have 25.

Like I said, the vast majority of his title defenses were against top ranked HW's. Of course not all of them but the majority of them were.

I don't know where you're pulling the figure 340 loss's from but that's not true either.

Im pretty sure he's combining all Joe's oppositions losses. If true he should combine all the nearly 1000 wins.

Why do you keep copy and pasting that sentance? I've just explained why that isn't a title defense after the first time you copy and pasted it.

I didn't say anything about Mayweather and I am far from a Mayweather hater I'm one of his biggest (actual) fans.

What's the documentry on the "Bum of the Month brigade?" Did you know almost every member of the "Bum of the month" club was ranked in the Top 10?

Do you think that is good ?

What is a prime WC in his 55th fight doing fighting a guy with 3 fights for 3 losses .

You cannot fight top competition and fight 14 fights in 2 yrs , they have to be very easy fights , and top competition does not make easy fights , Joes reign was equivalent in comp to the rise of Tyson where he had 20 something KOs in a couple of years against bums .

He fought that tune up because he was coming off a lay off after the war, like I stated.

Like I said, not all of them but most of them were Top ranked, go and check the rankings.

It's not the same as Tyson because most of those KO's in his first few years were against Unranked opposition.

For fck sake buddy , you didn't explain anything , the bold states the fight was ruled a HW title fight by the commission ., it don't get clearer , historians might not recognize it but the commission did , and what the hell is he doing fighting a 3 for 3 fight loser as a reigning World Champion

You will have to type into google " joe louis bum of the month club " and do a little research , I didn't mean a doco was made specifically about that , I ment its well documented in most all documentary's made about Louis .

Like I said I don't care what ratings say they don't mean class just what was there at the time , you cannot fight 14 fights in 2 years and they be against top shelf competition , they were low grade HWs that how it was done . .

In New York and that's it.

It's not considered a legitmate Title defense hench why he only has 25, not 26. That fight would make it 26.

Again, for the third time, he fought him as a tune up after his lay off due to the war.

I already stated not all of them were, but most were. In regards to his title defences.

[SkillspayBills]

He will get to 28. I just can't see him not going for 50-0. It would be historic.

If your current HW world champion and you fight a HW and the Commission rules its a title fight , is what it is , just because the guy was 3 fights for 3 losses and history would like to throw it under the rug the fact remains it happened .

You can call it a tune up if you like , the commission called it a title fight .

Alright you ignorant fu*cks. That's 26 fights/25 straight defenses right there. The combined record of these fighters is 1,323-275-87. That's a winning percentage of 78%. All but 3 were ranked by the Ring in the year Louis fought them or the year before he fought them. One was a light heavyweight champion trying to move up and contend for the heavyweight title.

And this is the lineal title we are talking about. 1 champion and he beat several #1 and #2 contenders for his reign. Now since your an expert, handpick each bum off of my list and provide an explanation of why you feel he is a bum.

People stay talking out of their ass. Read a ****in book for once if you want to talk history.
