Byrd's southpaw style would probably give Louis fits. Louis never fought a southpaw in his career.
That's baloney. They would have been fairly typical Louis opponents, not smaller than usual. Holyfield in particular has heavyweight dimensions in...
How many movers did he fight? Even Conn often stood there and traded with him. If Conn had a punch, like even a Schmeling level punch, he would...
Exactly. He couldn't deal with movement and angles. He had to have his feet set to throw knockout punches. And his power is massively overrated...
Louis is as badly overrated as Marciano is on here. This is a guy who got beat up and knocked out by a cruiserweight in Schmeling. Imagine if this...
Witherspoon was a boxer, not a stalker-destroyer. Moreover, Witherspoon himself could move, unlike Louis. Witherspoon had an entire dimension to...
I don't subscribe to the "Louis walks through everyone because he fought in black and white" school of thought. I look at the film at make my own...
I'm saying that if Witherspoon had fought a bunch of circus freaks and cruiserweight dock workers in 6 oz gloves, his KO would be higher than it...
If Witherspoon fought the bums Louis did in 6 ounce gloves, his knock out ratio would be through the roof.
Witherspoon probably knocks him out. People shouldn't overrate Conn based on Louis I. To me, that fight is more of an indictment on Louis than...
Dempsey couldn't box his way out of a paper bag. He's nowhere near the best of all time head to head, not even close.
Not really. Styles make fights and what that means is that you get mismatches and one-sided fights even at the highest level.
IB, it's styles that make fights, not sentimental musings or "one night monsters". Douglas used a jab, lateral movement, and clinching to negate...
That's not how the fight game works.
