    Your argument is over. And you never answered the original question.
    You have an impressive performance in which he was being dominated and landed a punch that knocked out Whyte. And then got crushed in the rematch.
    Where Louis got his first lost learned from it and then devastated Max in the rematch.
    Louis lost 3 times and Won 66 times. And two of his losses occurred outside of his prime.

    I remember when I was at school and all the kids who were nutters had to go into school on their own little bus and come out early at finishing time with all the other silly f*ckers. Thems was the days.

    Povetkin vs Louis is a thread that should never be made. The only reason I even voted is because Pov is my favorite fighter. Joe Louis deserves the respect of Muhammad Ali.

    No that fight was a legit draw, and could have easily gone to Hunter

    You realise that he was like over 40, right?

    What was Louis doing in his late career? Oh, right:

    No sign of that famous jab that you were talking about that would keep Povetkin from crowding Louis, either.

    Povetkin only lost 3 times and lost once in his prime. The guy he lost to would take the guy Louis lost to, roll him up like a ball of sushi, and eat him for breakfast.

    40 years old Povetkin would get destroyed by Marciano as well though.
    Yeah, White would destroy prime Schmeling, Charles and Marciano. For sure...
