Could any of these go the distance with Joe Louis?

Only Terrell

 

I like Bugner too.

 

I don't think I'd expect any to go 15 with Joe. It's possible, sure but I wouldn't put money on a decision.

 

So what does it take to last the distance against Joe Louis?

The men who did it seem to have had exceptional durability, combined with an awkward style, or very good defense, combined with mobility.

I wouldn't be shocked at someone like Terrell or Bugner doing it.

 

I go with Ringo because of his herky jerky style plus he took a good punch. Ali’s the only one who ever knocked him out, after paralyzing him with a left hook for the ages

 

Bugner and Bonavena perhaps?

 

Quarry could
Oscar would
Joe, Ernie, Ron wish they could.

 

I dont see Quarry getting anywhere near. he probably busts up and Lyle is a big question mark. wasnt polished enough

Bonavena is crude but durable, and not that easy to hit.

 

My man Quarry was near decapitated by Smoking Joe and didnt go down.

A man who managed to survive Joe's left hook could well survive anything Joe Louis throws at him.

 

All of them could. They are exceptional fighters. I think Ringo would definitely go the distance.

Quarry would engage too much. Lyle the same, but what fights those would be.

Terrell had great physical dimensions and a great jab and could stall to make 15. Bugner I'm not sure.
