    Well said although I think you’re being generous with the counter punching...I wouldn’t even give him that. Better left hook Holy had and a better fighter in the clinches imo but that’s it.

    Nah, I call like I see them. Holyfield was better on the counter. He also was more foul prone using his head. I don't recall Louis making a guy miss and countering often. Did he? Which film, I'll check it out.

    There’s a lot of film of Louis skills on display. I’ll look for one later that displays his awesome counter combos

    why did you put this fight here it's slow and missing mutiple advances in movement fury does and others be fought makes you look like your a troll or maybe never seen any updated era posting this like its proof of joe having a chance vs this trash mover it's not impressive

    and thats not circling in the modern way by moving the body moving forward or lateral while punching

    this is just punching from angles not the same thing how can you not know the difference

    It’s an example of Joe’s underrated footwork.
    Light on his feet, beautifully balanced, I put it there as an example that Louis wasn’t the plodding mover that some on here would have you believe.
    So I’m a troll by putting this up, just because I have a differing view than you.
    I’ve seen your type before many times on here with your bombastic attitude, once I’ve seen one of you on here I’ve seen them all.

    when you compare it to 70s-90s his whole movement is bad not just his footwork

    So you give your opinion as fact, the truth.
    Arrogance aligned with ignorance is a lethal combination.
