In an effort to give the smaller heavies a decent bite of the cherry . Heavies under 200lbs ,and I am stretching a couple of points here; I'm including Louis.[it's my thread so STFU] Joe Louis Rocky Marciano Jack Dempsey Gene Tunney Bob Fitzsimmons Jack Johnson Who wins ? Why & How? Who comes second ,ditto?
Joe Louis, the ultimate human fighting machine. Biggest guy in there at 6'2. Beautiful, fast combos with power. Good stamina when in shape. Marciano number 2, and wins it is Louis comes in soft. A guy who can throw 100 punches in the 15th with power is going to beat most guys. I just think Louis wins 6 of 10 between them. By the way, to make it a proper tourney with 8 people, why not add Schmeling and Patterson?
Yes, but six people does not make a proper tournament. 6' 1.5" would still make him the tallest, but many sources have him listed as 6'2". Can you provide a source saying that he is 6'1.5"? Or perhaps you knew his mother?
Louis/Johnson/Rocky all go 4-1 with Louis beating Johnson, Rocky beating Louis and Johnson beating Rocky) Tunney 2-3 beating Dempsey and Fitz Dempsey 1-4 beating Fitz Fitz 0-5
Louis goes 5-0. rocky goes 1-4.…...beating fitz but losing the rest. dempsey goes 2-3....beating fitz and rocky. tunney goes 3-2......beating fitz, rocky and dempsey fitzimmons goes 0-5....getting flattened in a couple of rounds each time Johnson goes 3-2......beating bob, dempsey, rocky
I favour Joe Louis over any of them, but it's possible he'd lose some, Johnson is probably the biggest threat. I favour Rocky Marciano over Dempsey, Tunney, Fitz, but not Johnson, though I think that's close. I favour Jack Dempsey over Tunnney (prime for prime), but not Fitz or Johnson Gene Tunney vs Fitz is hard to pick for me, I think's it's close, but I favour Fitz. I favour Johnson against Tunney. I think Bob Fitzsimmons would lose to Jack Johnson, but I can't write him off totally. So best guess Joe Louis 5-0 Jack Johnson 4-1 Rocky Marciano 3-2 Bob Fitzsimmons 2-3 Jack Dempsey 1-4 Gene Tunney 0-5
Prime Marciano and prime Louis is just a bad matchup for Joe and even he admitted that. But because Joe is Joe he has to be tied for first. Marciano Dempsey would be an awesome fight.
Jack Johnson 4-1 (Loses to Marciano) Joe Louis 4-1 (Loses to Johnson) Rocky Marciano 3-2 (Loses to Dempsey and Louis) Jack Dempsey 3-2 (Loses to Johnson and Louis) Gene Tunney 1-4 (Beats Fitzsimmons) Bob Fitzsimmons 0-5
Joe Louis 5-0 Rocky Marciano 4-1 Gene Tunney 3-2 Jack Johnson 2-3 Jack Dempsey 1-4 Bob Fitzsimmons 0-5
My tournament, my selections. I see you didn't make any, just a very poor joke. Yes I can provide a source. Joseph Louis Barrow "My Life". Wipe that egg off your face,it's congealing.
