Joe Louis The Greatest in History - Why the lack of respect?

It's a direct quote Skippy. Snap out of it!

 

Real killers, the lot of 'em.

 

"Six months later, Schaaf fought the huge (250 lbs+) Primo Carnera, and suffered a knockout loss in the 13th round of 15. He fell into a coma, and was rushed to the hospital to undergo surgery. He died on Valentine's Day."

you really dksab

 

A monster of a man, that Ernie Schaff.

 

Yeah Schaff wasn't a monster so Carnera killing him doesn't count.

lol, ****ing idiot.

 

Trying to score points over a man's death. Classy.

 

You just mocked him as a fighter.

And now, you're acting like I insulted him because I brought him up as a factual example to expose your dumb **** fallacies? You're lower than scum.

 

It illustrates head to head match up as the measurement of fighters from different eras greatness.

 

You're not attributing Schaaf's death to Carnera I hope?

 

No I read the posts of those that could be bothered to reply including the one that said, "you're full of shyte"!
That isn't a primary source it's an obscure hack making a by line.lol.
Have you in any autobiography of Dempsey,[he wrote 2,plus an instruction manual that can be read on-line]or any biography,[there are several] seen his left hook referred to as his "Mary Ann", if so, produce the title and author. You might be some self styled expert among your pals ,the," one -eyed man in the kingdom of the blind ,"but Mate you're full of it,and the low man on the totem pole on this forum.
Are you going to correct your Trivia question?

 

Just read the comment chain

 

Well it was you who introduced Schaaf's name into the mix,which implied you were saying his demise was down to Carnera ,you can't have it both ways. Mentioning him ,then taking the high moral ground.

 

Schaaf's death was due to the Carnera fight definitely.
But the punch was not a hard one. Schaaf was fatigued and he went down in round 15 and it was the impact of his head on the hard ring floor that done him in. He'd suffered an influenza virus shortly before the fight and that would have weakened him and made his brain more vulnerable too.
