    Maybe one of you alts can draw up a version for Joe Louis?
    I'd love to read a copy and paste about how he couldn't handle Lamon Brewster and how Wlad would have him eating through a straw.
    The Facts, man, it was The Facts.

    And they were awesome.

      Elroy is back from his ban & trolling HW threads again lol.

      Of course this is the guy who claimed that Joe Louis was a fat bum and would get knocked out by an average bar room brawler.

          This^ is an image of Lamon Brewster, "no stronger than the average HW of 80 years ago" according to our old friend Mr. New England here.

          And let's take a look at Joe Louis..



          Any debate over this topic should be shot down and finished right there.

          In fact, anybody still willing to argue that Louis belongs within 50 places of Lamon Brewster in a HW h2h match up should be submitted for immediate drug testing.
          You need to see a psychiatrist.

            aand if we ever get into a discussion about who would win in a tug of war then these pictures will be really useful.

            Luckily we are talking about boxing, and Joe Louis would KO the vast majority (if not all) of the current era of heavyweights.

            "Ooh here comes Chisora plodding forward.. BOSH"



            "Povetkin again trying to bull his way inside... SHAZAM"



            "Wlad seems content to play it safe and jab from the outside... OOOOF

                Chisora's the bum who gave Vitali hell, Povetkins the bum who cant stay in shape, and Wlads the bum who currently rules the HW division

                  Great post and another prove that Blackburn is in top 3 teachers of all time (at least in my book). It proves that it doesn't mean you have to dance like Ali to be caracterized as a boxer with good footwork. Talking about footwork please check this G.R.E.A.T. article about Louis' footwork

                  I'm going to talk briefly today about something which you will see over and over again. A fighter wins or loses, and the forums are flooded with posts about how he has bad footwork. Simultaneously, I see fighters being praised for having good footwork who display obvious flaws.

                    lol, this is a great thread, beside a few idiots who thought the boxing exist since the 2000's
