    The one at 1:59-2:02 - his opponent upon getting hit spins in a 360 as he go down, it is in a weird way, the most beautiful knockout I've seen.

    Yep. Buddy Baer.

    God, Louis was a machine.

    Beautiful tribute.

    Someone may need to correct me on this, but I think that's from their first fight, and that punch there was landed right at the bell ending round seven. Baer's people screamed bloody murder, stating it was hitting after the bell. This, coupled with the fact that Louis had gone down himself in the fight, meant a rematch. Louis finished him the second time in one.

    That sucks.

    I think Baer was Louis at his best. It's a scarey thought but we might have lost his absolute peak to the war, like Ali.

    Yeah, I was thinking about that the other day. It's not unrealistic to imagine Joe with 30+ title defences if not for the war.
