Why is Joe Louis Rated so Highly?

[LacedUp]

I just want everyone to know that Elroy1 is the alt of Tommo1, Jimmy the geek and HWeightblogger - the creator of heavyweightblog.com

This has been confirmed to me by a mod.

Amongst other things on this blog, he's said that Chris Byrd was a bigger puncher than Earnie Shavers - and is basically a long poorly written "blog" about how Ali was shyt at everything - no power, no reflexes, couldn't really move - it was all an illusion guys!

Whilst on the other hand we have Wladimir Klitschko - his role model, his Adonis, his hero. He tries to negate how much he wants to suck this guy off, but it's all fake.

He genuinely wishes that he and Wladimir could join together in holy matrimony and shove poor Hayden to the side and have Weltschmerz with him as their little bastard child.

Don't take anything he says seriously, he tries to pass it on as fact but as usual with the Kliterati - the criteria only applies to the fighter they are putting down.

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

Laughable post, grow up punk. Louis knocked out bums left and right, and they weren't even heavyweights.

At least he knocked out the best guys in his division.

Who's Wlad's best knockout win?

Oh man, just looked at the heavyweight blog. Gold, pure gold, all of it.
Apparently a 39 y/o Mormeck would have been Ali's most athletic opponent

Why do you keep going on about Vlad, this is a Joe Louis discussion. You can laugh, but Vlad has a higher KO ratio and he will take Louis' record of title defenses before he retires. Ha!

somebody post "the list."


i love how he'd subtly add racism as he went along.


"vitali klitschko has never been stopped

vitali klitschko has [had, at the time,] the best KO ratio in the history fo the division.

vitali klitschko is a negrocutioner."


he'd just slip the negrocuting part in there innocuously

"Vitali DOMINATED a prime Herbie Hide!"

"Vitali DOMINATED a prime Herbie Hide!"

Herbie Hide was the fastest heavyweight since Ali.

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

Great stuff, thanks for bringing it back on point. But even if his shuffling footwork was by design, there is no denying it was slow and allowed Louis to be caught by speedier foes, then again, I guess all fighters have a particular style or fighter they hate to go up against.

Herbie Hide was the fastest heavyweight since Ali.

LOL come on now

You are wellcome man, I just enjoy this kind of thread... I wish there were more analytic threads like this because I love to learn from people that have some knowledge about boxing and sadly there is not many discussions of that kind here... And I totally agree with you on what you have just said about Louis' style, on the other side I approve every post Capaedia and New England wrote on this thread.
