The biggest issue that Louis has is trying to parry shots in the same manner. Rocco's shots come in winged, with full leverage and body weight...
Arguably, nobody other than Greb can argue to have done what Armstrong did in the timespan that he did. But Robbi wasn't a small welterweight. He...
This is fair. Personally, I'm fairly ignorant to the HWs in that I tend to not watch anybody pre-Louis really. I concur with the need for...
