    I'd pick the guy with the greatest title reign in history to beat the guy who got knocked out in a round by Michael Bentt

    It's so obvious.

    Due to guys like moneytheclown, I appreciate more just how distracting trolls really are. It's fine to have one's opinion, but when it flies in the face of any kind of actual reason (films, overall records, so much more) it becomes harder for people to find any kind of solid boxing grounds to base their opinions on.

    Morrison's greatest win was against Foreman, a Foreman who he blatantly ran away from. His biggest losses...wow, do we need to go there?

    So, how about we consider Louis' greatest win(s) and losses....

    Morrison was a boxing footnote. Louis might have been the greatest heavyweight who ever lived. Put all the videos, press, tons of articles by knowlegeable scribes, performances...

    What is this movement crap you keep talking about? Morrison had little or no skill compared to Louis, no defense at all, he was sloppy missing punches all over the place, kept getting knocked out, got floored by an over the hill Williams and struggled with Joe Hipp who wouldn`t have layed a glove on Louis.

    Based on being knocked out by journeymen who weren't hard hitters?

    Walcott moved better than Morrison and he moved more that the plodding Morrison.

    that picking certain moments bull doesn't work with me or does lying

    see how he can switch mutiple times while punching
    This content is protected


    throwing combos close range smoothly
    circles around his opponent while punching

    and other details joe never did any of this so stop that lie of was more skilled tell somebody else those dumb quotes you read which lying works on

    joe was no compare to this and most the people tom fought who he lost or won against I leave you alone for this reason to like the rest of the crazy trolls

    I wont ask you to show me joe doing this cause I have mutiple times and you people wont cause he never did it it didnt exist

    yea he did but still lacking in other advances
    I said mutiple times Jersey was the best mover in the black and white era before ali

    but he is not the topic the topic is how joe and most moved back then they were way outdated

    you saying Jersey knows you know he was way more advanced and made joe look way outdated and tom was way more advanced then joe just like Jersey was you made yourself look bad saying that

    It's irrelevant how hard that journeyman hit, hw would have taken out anyone, had he landed that many punches on them.

    I can see no possible justification, for saying that Morrison had a better chin than Louis.
