    Yeah, i've been posting this quote for about 10 years on here and it sums it up for me, pretty much.

    Louis with momentum was terribly difficult to fight. He was basically untroubled by "movement".

    If only Joe carried Maxin the rematch, he could have vastly improved his rounds won vs lost on the Mendoza scale.

    Walcott vs Louis "Both men were the same age in both fights."

    No agenda present :lol:

    It makes zero sense. Apparently going the distance is preferable to an early KO. :lol:

    Exactly. One could spend 30 minutes on a post refuting that one as there's so many shockers in there.

    Ali had one of his worst nights against Jimmy Young, Foreman outright lost to him, prime Tyson edged a decision over James "Quick" Tillis and yet Louis gets criticized for "only" knocking out Conns in the 13th. A strange double standard in my opinion.
    Edit: Funny how the Bob Pastor fights and Conn's 2 are always left out of the discussion by the way.

    That is comedy gold!

    So the rumours that ‘Doza wears a tin foil hat to protect him from @mcvey ‘s mind control are true after all. Go get him Mc!

    I laughed long and hard at this sat opposite my Mrs whilst we were having our lunch this afternoon.

    She asked me what was so funny. I replied - "trust me, you'd have lost interest and stopped paying attention way before I'd finished explaining it".
