Did anyone catch Max Kellerman's comment about GGG fighting like Joe Louis? WTF

[cantor5150]

Great comparison they both have two hands, arms, legs, ears and eyes and breath air, they box and throw punches, I see no problem

[Fidel456]

U guys r buggin the f#@k out. That was a moron comparison. HBO commentators r like WWE commentators and u guys believe that ****.

[Russian Crushin]

You can't compare anyone to an atg boxer, it's hilarious.

"Fighter A is a boxer, like mike Tyson was"

"Did he just compare him to mike Tyson, wtf is up with that, he's no Tyson, bull**** comparison"

Calm down people, he compared 1 small aspect

[Levity]

Louis completely outboxed and outclassed all the top fighters of his era. Any comparison was to promote the HBO fighters.

What does dominance and opposition have to do with styles?

[BigZigga]

Judah was a good elusive fighter at one point and had power, and Martinez' style was somewhat similar to Jones'. I don't see why people freak out every time a current fighter is compared to a great. There's only so many Ali/May type fighters who can't be compared to others cause there style is so unique.

Because people are ****** and take a comparison like that to mean "GGG is as good as Joe Louis"

They are showing a replay of the fight on HBO and at the end of the 2nd round Max Kellerman said something about GGG being stylistically like that of Joe Louis. Did anyone else catch that WTF moment? Did Max even watch boxing then?

you and Kellerman need to get out of boxing

[Inkanyamba]

you and Kellerman need to get out of boxing

A quick glance at your post history shows you only posting in Mayweather related threads. You know there are many other fighters out there right? Care to elaborate?

[Alx.]

Got no problems with that

It's the nature of the sport. Doesn't bother me but you have to admit sometimes they go overboard trying to big up their fighters.

I remember the reference, he said he had subtle nuances that joe louis had or something like that, and he was right in a way, nothing wrong with that, it's not saying he is the next louis, not that he can't be, but you can say a fighter has a quality of a great fighter in history without it being an overrating statement.
