It’s funny you say that considering wladimir klitschko used the same guard as Joe Louis. Rear hand slightly in front of the face with palm face forward, lead hand half extended towards the opponent.
No idea and its not that relevant. It's hard to compare fighters across such wide timespans which is why I said "probably" based on the factors I previously listed.
It’s a more accurate way of discerning whose a power puncher and whose an accumulation puncher. Vitali klitschko has a higher ko ratio than his brother wlad, yet all their common opponents said Vladimir punched harder. When you compare their KO to tko ratio, wlad had 41% of his stoppages come by pure KOs compared to vitali’s 36%.
Yeah, yeah sure their stance is exactly the same, no difference at all. No difference at their height and reach as well. They also have the same style as well. 100% identical.
Louis kept his hands a lot lower than WK, much more aggressive. On the other hand GGG used a very similar stance to Louis vs Canelo throughout their first fight.
Louis was a true heavyweight. He was 207 pounds vs Buddy Baer 2 and Abe Simon. For reference, Holyfield was 208 vs Douglas and Foreman and 205 vs Bowe 1 (he lost but was very competitive with the bonafide super heavyweight that was Riddick Bowe)
Buddy and Abe are the two clowns at the back of the class throwing gumballs at the teacher compared to Joshua.
I suspect it's just another 'heavyweights are bigger now so they win' thread. But I'm not reading it to find out. Surely a better home can be found for these junk hypothetical threads.
