    I will concede Louis was KD’d 10 times (he fought a long time against ranked guys…) but his chin was good as he was only stopped 2x and both by a prolonged beating against guys who could punch, only once close to his prime the other he was a relic. If you genuinely think Louis had slow feet and balance issues you fundamentally don’t know what you’re talking about - no offence intended.

    I never said anything untruthful you want me to pick between two works of fiction. Louis’s chin was perfectly fine, his balance was also fine. Here is MR Slow Feet and Balance Issues - you have one choice admit your wrong lol.

    Sure.

    Name any other fighter who had both a good chin and good balance who had 10 knockdowns in 7 fights with 2 KO losses. I'll wait.

    :sing:

    Glad we agree about his balance and footwork, you’ve been a long time fan so I’m glad I changed your mind- Louis had a decade of supremacy and was stopped 2x once ancient once green both were beat downs put on by punchers you’re being pedantic and being overly specific because it’s a big nothing burger you’re cooking - Joe Louis wasn’t Chuvalo and I never said it, Joe Louis’s chin was just “good” nothing wrong with it.

    You continuously refuse to answer questions or address the subject at hand, then wonder why people don't bother engaging with you.

    It's amazing.

    Baer is basically a bleached Foreman.

    More like a bleached, shorter Wilder.

    Foreman was better and a 2 fisted threat.

    Irrelevant to the fact it's a bad comparison.

    What didn’t I answer exactly? You did just that in this very discussion didn’t you? lol. Format it, I’m pretty sure I covered all bases, you refused to answer MY questions which were relevant lol.

    Personally I think those terms are mumbo jumbo and ignore them - just me.

    He’d have a lot to say about Louis afterwards then, Louis had all the tools and would be landing 4-1 compared to Lyle, incredibly fast with every bit as much power from all the blind angles these combos would come from.
    (Do you agree?)

    Louis was KD’d but not often in danger especially not the way Foreman was vs Lyle.
    (Agree?)

    Louis also fought for a long time so these things happen imagine if George tried fighting for a decade against contenders? lol…

    (Do you agree he that those KD’s were the result of him being a long standing champion and require context? Foreman too would have his moments In a similar long reigning situation? - please list all the instances he was KD’d)

    According to you Louis isn’t a defensive wizard, I’d need an extensive effort to prove his defence wasn’t any good? but people who know there S would say they it was a very good defence especially for a HW as was his footwork.

    (disprove this, back YOUR claims up that he had bad footwork, balance and a bad defence lol break it down technically, no “he- he got hit KD’d” happens even to Archie Moore this is a wild claim you’ve got there lol…)

    Louis was stopped by Marciano when he was ancient and by Schemling when he was young but not because his chin let him down because he was outsmarted, it was a prolonged beat down.

    (Again list the KD’s and show me where he was in grave danger… he was stopped x2 in 69 fights using one style how is his chin / defence bad?)

    It’d also be Louis who is the better finisher here… Who did Foreman finish? Norton and Frazier? Come forward scrappers? Louis tracked down and stopped every type of fighter, Conn and Walcott are actually great examples of why his footwork was very good same as his finishing ability…

    (Agree? Disagree?)

    what happened to Galento after Louis was very briefly KD’d? He wanted Two Ton to come to him, same as most guys because of what you saw after he was KD’d…

    (Am I right?, why would he try to stay away from Galento like you tried saying to prove his footwork is bad?)

    Against Marciano he was shot I don’t know who would hold that bout against him when Marciano was GREAT at cutting the ring anyway and he was old on top of it lol - which He had better footwork then Louie exactly? Is it Ali? Please tell me it’s Ali LOL.

    (
    Louis’s isn’t perfect but who is the closest to that fact? Louis IMO at HW)

    here you go chief
