happy birthday to, oh, i don't know, the best offensive fighter of all time!!!


joe louis was f#cking scary in his prime. left hook, hospital. right hand, cemetery.

accuracy, distance, timing, and of course the power.

i'm usually not huge on highlight reels, but... yeah.


HW used to eat right, wake up in the morning to run, and show up to fights in shape.

they threw combinations. none threw combinations like this guy, doe.

that f#cking right hand. good god.

I thought he was going to take Schmeling's head right off. Never seen a right hand half flip a guy frontwards like that.

they used to let fights go on way too long. i don't think i'd watch boxing if i had to watch a dude getting killed like that.
