fact: Joe Louis got knockdown 7 times on his first amateur fight...

He was kind of flat footed. unbalanced.

 

in 2010, that fight would be stopped after the 2nd KD and Louis would be written off and find another job.

 

pep

atsch

:rofl:rofl

those the best you could think of.

what about tyson foreman frazier liston

shavers, henry armstrong sandy saddler

you sir have no idea

 

LOL myself and boxed ears already went there with this guy, he doesn't give up easily.

 

wat a glass jawed fraud....

 

:rofl So Boxed Ears is a brutha now?

 

7 knockdowns is counted as 7 punches in the amateurs....and how old was he then?

 

your better when your black fact ,some whites who have 10% dna black in them are consider black also .....Black rudes.

 

In UK you get an extra point ... 14

 

You're on the wind-up, yeah? Pep was reknowned neither for his strength nor his power. In fact, he was pretty much the exact opposite style of fighter to rely on either of those attributes. LaMotta was bull strong, but never reknowned as a puncher. Marciano falls under that category, sure, as do the likes of Jeffries, Dempsey, Walker, McGovern, Basilio, etc. etc. However, to say that there are far more white fighters of that ilk than black is about as random as anything I've ever heard. What do you base that on?

 

I remember hearing that. They mentioned it on his documentary as well.

Boxing Career

Amateur

Louis began to draw the attention of Brewster's owner Atler Ellis, who with the help of Holman Williams, began his formal training. His first amateur fight took place at the Naval Armory in Detroit, and was against a member of the 1932 [url]Olympic[/url] boxing team, [url]Johnny Miler[/url]. Louis was defeated in three rounds after being knocked down seven times. Louis was disheartened by his performance and temporarily gave up his training to work a regular job at the Ford factory. The work was hard and he realized quickly that he missed boxing. He reasoned that "if I'm going to hurt that much for twenty-five dollars a week, I might as well go back and try fighting again."[url][6][/url]
Louis' second amateur fight was against Otis Thomas at the Forest Athletic Club. He knocked Thomas out in the first round. Louis would go on to defeat the next thirteen opponents he faced. His success led him to enter into the [url]Golden Gloves[/url] and [url]Amateur Athletic Union[/url] (AAU) tournaments. Louis would end up winning 50 of his 54 amateur fights, with 43 knockouts.

He was one of the most balanced fighters of all time. He may've been flat-footed the majority of the time, but he could show some bounce when the situation called for it. Watch his demolition of Max Baer. When he was fighting flat-footed, it was to maintain balance and leverage on his punches, which is why he was such a tremendous hitter. He was similar to a Heavyweight version of Arguello minus the physical dimensions.

 

Kinda like:

Ray Robinson
Ray Leonard
Roy Jones Jr.
Wladimir Klitschko
Vitali Klitschko
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Roberto Duran
Thomas Hearns
James Toney
Lennox Lewis
Larry Homes
Bob Foster
Chris Eubank
Jose Napoles
etc. etc.

You'd have a harder time finding elite fighters who fight out of a strictly textbook stance in reality.

 

LOL, that ain't **** and he got back up each time.

The hit Louis was NEVER ever able to rebound from was when the US government picked his pocket, knocked him down, and kept him down until he died penniless. Still, the fool refused to call Ali by his proper name and even called him a draft dodger. Some fools never learn and never change.
