    this is odd it's being said louis could beat holy even though holy is to me the top 5 best skilled hw which can fit him in any era holy would never stuggle or lose to any of those trash dudes louis fought

    but louis not just stuggled but was beat more then once by those trash dudes louis would be ko by holy before the 2nd round is over

    based on Louis beating trash people like max and buddy they think thats impressive

    it's odd to me to looking at how Louis moved somebody picks him always have been odd anybody picking him to beat any 70s-90s boxer the movement is to much advanced for him

    look how smoothly holy moves while punching

    he can punch while keeping guard up smoothly

    look at his footwork can change at any time while punching smoothly
    and other details in holy movement that Louis was missing

    but a lie was said in the comments that louis had everything which is always said well he didnt shown by holy here and mutiple other boxers even no names had mutiple advances in movement louis never showed he loses to holy and fast

    Also, look at how bad Schmelling's defense was. When Louis was hitting him, he was standing there like an idiot, holding on to the ropes instead of covering up, or tying up Louis, or just just getting the hell out if that spot.

    Such a shame that you weren't in the corner of the only fighter who ever stopped a prime Louis and the undisputed HW champion of the world in that night. You'd teach him quite a few things about boxing.

    Holyfield beats the **** out of Louis.
    Louis wouldn't even have been a contender in the 90s.

    I know you know I notice every thing I just didnt put every outdated movement they didnt have I know you can always see good thats why I said other stuff missing from that era that holy did

    to me none of the names he beat was impressive cause they all was trash on a movement level I don't get how beating any of those names means he can beat any 70s-90s boxers who moved and had way better skill its doesn't add up

    Lewis and Resto didn't use smaller gloves, they removed the padding entirely. Completely different ballgame.

    I know Panama Lewis removed the padding on Resto's gloves, but that esentially made those big gloves feel like the smaller gloves they used in Louis's era

    Isn't it a bit strange that only one poster likes moneytheman posts? Even the ones which are completely senseless?

    Absolutely ridiculous comment. Do you not know the age of most posters here?

    'Hold it in', he says. Like that was never the plan every time I draw a map of Africa across my fly.

    I think I'd just hook myself up to my catheter in the ref's instructions, Glass.
