So in short, you disregard everything I've given you about restrictions on Williams' career, and the contemporary accounts of his power.
There are myriad factors opposing the ones you listed. For how he looks on film, consider that it's unfortunate that we don't get to see his...

Are you forgetting how Louis teed off on his opposition? Sometimes he put someone away with a single shot, two, or a sudden onslaught. A lot of...
