    Doing my usual thing, spending hours watching fights etc on youtube and came across this video. The footage is top notch considering this is all from the 30's and 40's.

    Man could Louis punch!

    Ahh Mr Reznick.

    Theres a few other guys on here who upload some great stuff to Youtube like TheGreatA and RagingBull. Think McGrain does some stuff too but its a bit 'meh' :D

    Joe Louis was the prototype of textbook boxer punchers. Guys like Alexis Arguello and Ricardo Lopez would follow the same mold. Picture perfect punching ARTISTRY.
