Joe Louis is The Greatest Boxer Of All Time!

Classic stuff.

[-Antonio-]

Joe Louis and Joe Fraizer both the most overrated boxers of all time.

^%^ and Joe Calazaghe. All the Joes. Call them the average Joes.

Meh Calzaghe has enough detractors to be rated about right. Louis is widely considered a top 2 Heavy while I think he is more like mid top 10, and Fraizer is top 15 at best. The approval rating of Louis and Fraizer is pretty high.

Ezzard Charles > Louis

Marciano > Louis

Marciano no, Charles maybe. Louis never beat a great fighter, only beat a few good ones, and one of them was a Light Heavyweight. If Liston faced the competition Louis did, he would have had the same success. Same goes for Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Foreman, Wlad, Vitali, Bowe, even Charles.

I have to excuse what I said before though. Hands down the most overrated fighter of all time is Dempsey. Apologies to Fraizer and Louis on that one.

Who has the best HW resume of all time, in your opinion?

I don't think Louis is as overrated but Frazier is. However, Cotto is more overrated than they are. Seriously...some of his nuthuggers are claiming he's top 5 of this generation.

What's your point exactly?.

Jersey Joe Walcott is a great fighter by the way.

Max Baer would have whooped every single fighter Wlad has faced, probably even Wlad himself.
Even Tony Galento would be likely to go trough Wlad's resume with rlative ease.

And what great fighter did Marciano beat exactly, apart from an old, shot Louis?.

Frazier has a win over Ali , isn't Ali a great fighter?. Your logic is flawed and borderline ludicrous.

-Even- Charles? what do you mean?

Ezzard Charles fought and beat Archie Moore, Lloyd Marshall, Jersey Joe Walcott, Jimmy Bivins ... and he started as a MW.

You are entitled to your biased opinion, but show some respect for the men who wrote the history of the sport.

Forget heavyweight rankings, Joe Louis is top 5 all time at any weight.
