There's been cries on here for the introduction of a SHW divison because no 214lb fighter could possibly knock a 240+lb fighter out......... oh...
And 1951 Louis was of course.
I noticed he has pretty sharp reflexes though, he likes to pull his head back out the way of punches. It's not something i advise but it has kind...
You think? If Louis tastes the canvas he's eating it for a solid 10 mins if you ask me.
I hate to say it but i agree, Wilder has the speed to get the big shot in first and once landed would be a game changer. I'd love to be proved...
If i were a betting man I'd say Ortiz has more than a 2 inch reach advantage on Joe Louis.
Yep i agree but he has that great one-two which would enable him to be more assertive and dictate the pace of the fight. Of course that leaves him...
He doesn't need to though, better to spark them out as they come in.
Was it? What did they get?
I seriously believe Wilder would knock Ali out at that stage.
You measured it? BoxRec says he has so I'll go with that.
His power is frightening for his weight, he really is a freak of nature just like Tommy Hearns. Just seeing the shots and listening to them leaves...
Ortiz is a southpaw with a 84 inch reach. Bit of a difference there to Louis, call it 8 inch.
The question is would Wilder be better using more conventional methods, he has great length, good on his feet and a great one-two. Would it help...
Yep, i just can't see him staying on his feet though. It would be one of those WOW moments, i think he would get flattened tbh.
