Louis wasn't 20 lighter than Sonny. 5-10 lbs lighter. I don't know why you always assume Louis weighed 190 lbs. Louis didn't address his left hand...
Pretty much what @Ney said. I will just add that Liston is more resistant in terms of getting knocked down but in overall durability Louis might...
Thank you for the shout-out mate. Regarding that fight, I'm surprised Max survived that counter barrage by Louis at the end of round 1. He had...
He had gotten in great shape for the quarry rematch, 9 months before Norton 1, had he kept himself in shape he might have avoided that loss. Ali...

"I used to tease Joe Louis by reminding him that I was the greatest of all time. But Joe Louis was the greatest heavyweight fighter ever" Your...
“He has balance after using his left, or right, his judgment of distance is remarkable, and I believe he is the best 'balanced' fighter in the...
Athletic? Best stamina? Power? Explosiveness? Speed? Tyson, Louis, Ali, Jack Johnson, Langford spring to mind.
That's not true. He was quite quick handed close up and even if you saw most of his swings coming, in a 12 round fight you were going to get hit a...
"yes Ali was right, except for this 4 cases spread across 30 years where he was wrong" Add every quick footed boxer who didn't become a world...
