    Love the 'Brown Bomber',,,,,,,,,,but in some of those fights he looked smallish,
    and not the quickest afoot.

    Larry's jab would be the longest, fastest and hardest he ever faced.
    Add movement and a quick overhand right, Joe's weakness, and it could spell
    'doomed'.

    He would like you to think so.

    A lot of his oponents took horific beatings because they were oblivious to the danger posed by his left untill they were in the ring.

    Stop it,,,,,,,,,,we all know you can't read,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:lol:

    I'm sure you were betting that Joe Louis would Knock-out the smallish
    Billy Conn in less than 5,,,,,,,,,,,,,,all 168 lbs, of him.

    Larry's jab had the combination of all three, longer, faster, harder.

    Primo's was longer, but was so slow, birds could rest on his arm like a perch.

    Pastor's had no power.

    Max Baer's was not overly accurate.

    I think most will agree, Larrys' was,,,,,,,, Numero Uno........
