Ring magazine is a media controlled organisation dedicated to the promotion of American, nostalgic ideals. It does not source it's information from facts.
You don't take my word for it either..
You do your research and see that it matches up with the analysis.
Joe Louis weighed 205lbs and his KO ratio against guys the size of modern HW's was just ok, because he beat a few giants. Closer analysis of these bums reveals they were jokes. We can also see footage of Louis hitting a bag, looks weak. Conclusion: Louis is weak puncher compared to ANY modern HW.
Joe Louis is the best fighter? Quick analysis of Joe Louis fight stats, records and his opponents reveals on paper that Joe Louis would not be competitive with a modern HW.
Checking his actual video performance confirms the statistics. Joe Louis looks like ****, as does his opponents.
Case Closed. If it looks like ****, it reads like ****, it MUST be ****!
Of course this is NOTHING against Joe Louis.
Louis WAS great in his day, ahead of his time and I DO respect him.
It's just that, as in EVERY SINGLE SPORT and every single THING really, comparisons with their modern equivalents makes them look beyond laughable.
Common sense!
