I disagree.

I think with hindsight we can see that clearly his power hasn't waned but his ability to pull the trigger had.

At the time I don't think they had that same opinion, and even if they did they didn't take the chances of Louis landing a big punch.

Clearly Rocky wasn't sweet pea that night, but he was a bit more patient in his approach, remember even Louis was 20 pounds the heavier man so caution was merited in my opinion.

 

Haha

 

Great posts. Louis punches still had the thudding mustard on em.

 

Where's your thesaurus/dictionary? I was looking forward to another, "Let's bring this back to reality and pretend that the discussion hasn't veer(ed) over the precipice of fantasy".

Yessir, brilliant statement if it made sense to this thread lol
Here's a clue for you, most people you and mc included remember the prime Louis and keep mentioning that he is not the Louis of old, even in mcvey's post he mentioned what was, not what was in this instances, Louis' comeback. By mentioning:

I give credit to Louis for beating
M.Baer
B.Baer
M Schmeling
J Braddock
T Farr
L Nova
J Walcott
And about another 25 fighters.

Who is he to give credit to Joe Louis, he earned that himself. And who gives a toot this thread is about the Marciano - Louis fight. Everybody on his list except for JJW, were fought by a prime time Louis, so tell me what that means to a Louis at 37, in 1950-51 and to this thread? I will put in spanish just for you, it means "nada".
We are talking about a 37 yr old not a prime Louis so let's discuss that, I broke all the opponents down they were decent to good opponents but you and mcvey choose to ignore anything, in favor of anything negative you can find, by nitpicking Instead you rocket scientists are looking up articles and pic's, cos why? Ya cant think for yourselves even when there is visual evidence, you choose artcles, you'd rather read and post an article and make that your smoking gun.
FYI, writers are sometimes wrong and live in the past, cos everyone of them mentioned the Louis of old including Grantland Rice. And in Rice's own time frame 3-4 yrs Louis ko'd a Walcott who few ko'd at that time, this writer who saw Louis throughout his career, said he lost his power, did Foreman lose his power on his comeback, no, he might have been slower and lacked the reflexes to fight as he did when he was younger, but he could still punch. Same with Louis, mcvey claims he didnt see the combo that rocked Marciano, I dont know how, its there plain as day, but you two geniuses what was told to you in articles. Here is a well known saying about a fighters power, Power is the last to go.

There is enough actual visual evidence of Louis's career to draw your own conclusion or in your case delusions.
Why not just see the comeback fights as separate careers, with one not having to do with the other. A good example would be Foreman in his second career, but nah, you two know better. You two would come on here and say Foreman's fought nothing but bums on his comeback like nobody could see for themselves that it wasnt the Foreman of old but a Foreman who used what he had and made the adjustments to continue his career, Old Joe, did the same.
The funny thing is you actually think you are making points lol.

rely on the alternative facts being given to you an bulletin board poster. Damn straight.

Exactly but wait a second arent you and mcvey also "bulletin board posters"? Damn straight you are lol

Pray tell what alternative facts? Everything I have posted is the facts going by their records and accomplishments not the fantasy that this Louis, was not the Louis of old duh! You two should know something about boxing, but it's obvious in this instances you dont.
Please note I didnt use the quote button, and I know it's complicated, yours and mcvey's statement are in bold, my reply's are not.

 

Thanks for posting, can you slo mo cos they will come on and say they didnt see it. Slo mo catches the impact on Marciano's face.

 

This I'm guessing?

Louis catches him pretty good before Rocky comes back with a quick dynamite OH right. A good example of Marcianos short reach being used as an advantage.
Against most opponents, this version of Louis' power is going to be an issue. Against Rocky...

 

For the two blind mice they know who they are they will still deny but here it is in their faces

That was a pretty quick combo, and the blind mice claim they didnt see it. Hey it's their loss, we can see it and enjoy, that for that moment he was the Louis of old.

 

In my haste, I didnt see you posted the same 3 seconds. I was watching it again and saw for 3 sec he was the Louis of old. It was a nice quick combo and both landed had Louis landed that following left hook who knows. But we if not the two blind mice can enjoy maybe the last real spark of a great fighter.

 

This amounts to the same thing does it not?

 

You're very free with my user name do you want a signed photo?I hope you're not developing a fixation like Mongoose who left here in a childish sulk because his attempt to get me banned didn't work, but recently crawled back under a different UN because he didn't have the b*lls to come back as Mongoose.

 

Make me famous!lol

 

Actually Mongoose no he doesn't!
