    Louis didn't have GGG footwork. It was the reason Conn was able to outbox him until he decided to trade with Louis. Movement doesn't bother GGG as much because he cuts the ring off well.

    A lot of the fighters Louis fought were dubbed "Bums of the month". It might be too early to tell how good GGG really is, but it isn't exactly like Louis has the best resume either. He was a long-reigning champion and a HOF in his own right but what was his best win? Jersey Joe Walcott? Schmelling?

    Yet Joe Louis is one of the greatest HW 's of all time GGG hasn't even stepped up yet who has he fought to even be compared to a true great ? You guys sound like Bute fans !

    Shouldn't Ketchel, Monzon, or Hagler be the Joe Louis of the middleweight division?
