Joe Louis vs. Vitali Klitschko

Vitali Klitschko KO1 Joe Louis

Joe Louis KDed in first rounds of several bouts.

Conclusion: the possibility of Louis gettin KOed in first round is alive and reasonable.

 

this still going and louis still winning

 

I think it's time to call up Hollywood to get that video footage done where Vitali knocks down Louis three times in the first round via overhand right and afterwards connects with a huge uppercut that leaves Louis unconscious.

 

It warms my heart to see this thread alive and well with Joe Louis still comfortably ahead in the poll. It shows me there are a lot of savy boxing fans and boxing historians on this site! :good

 

So, it's become an internerd popularity contest.

And that's sufficient to warm your heart.

Awesome.

 

That's a really nice Marciano shot. A beauty, and a rare one.

 

Not really. Plenty of fighters had a history of being down early but weren't able to be KO'd early. Louis being one of them as we've already seen.

 

At my age, I'll take any warmth my old heart can get!

 

Early KDs of any other fighters are not important for this matchup.
Vitali's power just too much for Louis.
The possibility of a first round KO over Joe Louis, scored by Vitali Klitschko, is still alive and reasonable.

 

oh boy, let me guess... the infamous "highest KO percentage of any HW champ" rebuttle, right KTFO??? meaning that he's the hardest hitter in HW history because his record some what indicates. i honestly cant recall the last time i saw VK put someone away outside the first 26 tomatoe cans he fought. he's a strong guy with heavy hands, but in know way shape or form is his strength "over whelming" or "too much" for anyone. if chris arreola and chris byrd can walk through his punches for 10 rounds without budging, then im pretty sure his punches would have little to no affect on joe louis, who not only has a good chin but can slip through punches as well.

 

there's more than one way to skin a cat...

vitali does not single punch his guys out, just beats them senseless and bewildered over about 6 to 8 rounds. Just as effective, moreso I would say, because of its reliability in numbers and attrition.

and if they are all such tomato cans, go down to your local gym and lace up. i'm really sick of internerds claiming how shitty fighters are from their keyboards. there's lots of money to be made out there in the big boys division.

 

thats right, when you step in the ring with VK your automatically an all time great with skills to behold, and absolutely nobody starts off their career fighting bums lol, pathetic, truly pathetic. you started off making good points seamus, but seeing as if you've gone off the deep end when people started criticizing your knight and shining armor, i think its pretty safe to assume you have nothing else credible to say. but then again, this is how it always turns out when arguing with a klitschko fanatic.

 

obviously not at all what i am saying.

however, if you want to say everyone vk fought to get to his world championship is a bum... well, you got nothing better to do than earn 6 figures for 36 mintues of work? lace'em up. think it's easy? try it.
