    Ill bet you $50 you cannot produce a primary source that verbatim says this.


    Here is Louis' opinion of Marciano.
    "he was strong sure, but he fought like a street brawler".

    "Yeah! I was right,he was a street brawler He couldn't touch me when it came to boxing." Joe Louis

    Billy Conn would have been as good as you could have managed, if only he had been a bit bigger!

    They both did but Marciano doesn't rely on defense like Louis who liked to parry punches then counter. marciano is usually up close giving the opponent less room to get a clear shot off.

    Langford's overhand right makes schmelling's look pitiful

    I have watched every bit of footage of Sam available he is clearly superior to louis

    It takes a more slippery fighter to beat Louis than one who just boxes on the outside. Conn wasn't really boxing like Ali, Conn was just slippery...for lack of a better word.
