    Have I ever said Marciano did not have a good set of whiskers?
    All I'm saying here, and its heresy to the Rocky Fan Club is that Louis no longer had the right handpower of his prime years,that he was essentially relying on his jab to get through fights.

    Is it fair to say that all old fighters lose their power? If not then what's unique about Joe Louis?

    Nothing that I can see, but some are in denial.

    Like who?

    Joe Louis lost a little power at 37, and you guys act like he's an elder Joe Jeanette boxing for charity.

    I'm not "in the ring."
    You have this paranoia that everyone is trying to fight you if they disagree with you.

    I just want to find the truth.
    And clearly 37 Louis could still hit.

    I'm sitting here drinking a cup of tea,I have no feeling of paranoia whatsoever.You decided to get into this ,and you're perfectly entitled to.You complained I ,"was taking it out on you", I explained I was just giving an opinion.My use of the word" ring ",was random ,I could have easily said something like," this argument/debate".I'd say you're the one being paranoid here not me!

    He could KO people though. And he did.
    He also scored one punch knockdowns.

    When you say that I to decided to "Get into this." What is "this?"

    You're the one who called me a Marciano hero fan for finding a clip of the subject. And what I'm saying is that I'm sorry if it proved your side of the argument wrong, but that's hardly my fault. Suck it up and let the truth breath and ring free in all its sunshine and glory!
