he was good enough to beat bivins but he was pretty shot by this point. that's usually the win that's used to verify louis' ranking and status of the time

Please. Bivens was at the end of the road and had been bounced around for quite a while. He was a light heavy with very little left.

Watch Louis versus Baer... Then watch Louis versus Rocky.

Was the carcass of Joe Louis that was thrown in the against Marciano in anyway resembling a guy who could be ranked today?
What legacy?. Losing 8 out of 9 rounds against Vitali and winning by default? Charles was a formidable HW and weighed not much less than Rocky at LHW.

i agree. and the fact that bivins, THAT bivins, is being used to establish louis' ability at that time says plenty .bivins is a great scalp but was well and truly past prime near retired

I'm thinking that The Rock will stop him like he did Kid Matthews. Kid and this Ruskie guy seem to be the same kinda fighter.

Rocky beat Louis, Charles, Moore and JJW. All clearly better fighters than anyone Wlad has fought. All those fighters would beat Wlad. Louis would obliterate him. Rocky would mop the floor with Wlad and his brother and they would be exposed as the over rated HW's that they are.

Are you speaking of the part of the development wherein he has been the best heavyweight in the world longer than Marciano had a career in professional boxing, even including the etended period wherein he was pummeling every pasta eater in the Greater Providence area?

The part where he is hiding out in Germany fighting unranked, no risk, stiffs who will have a negative affect on his legacy, yeah.
