Why More Guys Don’t Box Like Joe Louis Since He Textbook King

[GrandpaBernard]

If Joe was a living breathing boxing manual, why isn’t he copied more

There is no Chappie Blackburn to train them up the right way.

[Larry the boss]

I always felt like he plodded to much and kept the same rhythm the entire fight. He was good and had great fundamentals but I feel like he was to easy to time.

This is the answer.

Very few trainers, if any, who have all that old school knowledge to teach fighters in that way.

I feel like a lot of atg great fighters have a similar foundation. Everyone has a different body type, muscular structure etc...they’re not all going to look exactly the same doing the same types of things.

There is a large gap between respecting a fighter/watching his tapes, and being able to copy. Everybody see Mike Tyson's uppercuts, but no one's throwing them. Every body is different, responds differently, fights differently.

But I do agree - I don't think I've ever heard a fighter compared to Louis.
