    He didn't even know how many times Galento knocked down Louis when the fight is free on YouTube, and then had the nerve to argue for multiple pages while lacking basic knowledge. He thought Conn was stopped in his debut, and he didn't even know Louis and Morrison were basically the same height and reach then shifted the goal posts to talk about weight.

    He doesn't watch these fights, at least not the ones from Louis era. It's quite obvious he is just glancing at boxrec and automatically thinks modern boxers win due to size. He seriously tried to argue Ruddock would be too tall and big for Louis to land on. And argued that Morrison would get on his bike and box circles around Louis using the Foreman fight as evidence, a fat slow 40 year old, and a feat he never repeated in any other fight.

    He beat Cooney, who was about Morrison's weight, but with greater height and reach. (Both were hard partiers, so that evens out as well.)

    Spinks also beat Holmes, who beat Mercer as a much older man. So.

    Only way around this one would be to say that Spinks was on PEDs, and thus not comparable to people like Conn. But moving the goal posts from "LHWs don't beat modern heavies" to "*clean* LHWs don't beat modern heavies" robs the argument of any sting, since we cannot be sure that there are any clean LHWs to compare. Modern LHWs will grab the advantage of bulking up whether or not they are technically capable of winning without doing so.

    What a sophisticated analysis, I have no choice but to agree with your take!

    Schmeling would stop Morrison, sooner or later. He's much better defensively and a more refined puncher. He'd counter Morrision to death.

    This is even better than the original post, what an amazing display of analytics skills.

    Spinks>Holmes>Mercer>Morrison

    Moorer=Hoylfield (they went 1:1)>Mercer>Morrison

    Byrd>Vitali>Hide>Bennt>Morrison

    Based on results, the claim light heavyweights do not beat modern heavyweights is about as legitimate as a $3 bill.

    Also based on these results, Spinks, Byrd, and Moorer, should all be favored over Morrison on paper.

    why didn't he counter joe the whole match who stood in front of him which would have been way easier to do with then with tom who moves around way more your logic is beyond dumb

    he moved around crazy person so no max wouldnt be able to hit tom

    Their first match, that is literally what Schmeling did. Like, exactly.

    Couldn't have been that easy. He beat Walcott twice despite being old.

    1. Schmeling countered Louis the whole match... that's how he beat him. Have you ever seen the fight?
    2. Louis didn't stand in front of his opponents without moving and his footwork was galaxies ahead of anything Morrison could come up with.
