    Louis cracked more than a few iron chins.

    The highlights are just that, the most exciting bits.
    Walcott misinterpeted what Louis said.Louis knew it hadnt been a good fight. Louis had no doubt in his own mind that he won.
    He said so in his autobiography, and he said so on national TV sitting next to Walcott.
    See for yourself

    As to whether Walcott would lie he told the press after the second Marciano fight that he blacked out in the middle of the count.Yet his corner said he was a scared to death in the dressing room and wouldn't speak.
    Self delusion is a common trait among boxers who lose.

    ps If I edited the first Fury v Wilder fight and showed the 2 kds Wilder scored ,and a few times he looked good ,you'd think he beat Fury clearly ,but we know he didn't because we have seen the whole fight.

    Toney would actually get knocked out, Peter imo hits harder than Louis but he's not as skilled

    Louis mauls him imo, I see it being a boxing/chess match until it isn't. Toney gets broken down and stopped late
