Tommy Morrison vs. Joe Louis

good joke the dude was trash

 

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.

 

Hmmm I didnt know max was skilled as people in 90s cause on video he moves bad nice joke

 

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.

 

i seen that match it wasnt like the whole it was often the point is it's easy to do that with how joe moved

 

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

 

this is the moving in and out ver of tom which he picked shots good to why would people vote for joe who didnt move good he would be like lasting not even 2 mins he is destroyed fast

 

it was always easy to hit him

 

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.

lying I see agian exposed by video by me like always

so Joe didnt stand in front of his person you said it is no footwork its basic come forward or did he counter joe every punch even though joe is right there can you never see you need glasses it's getting old to keep saying you cant see
