Are there really more big men in the world today? My great grandfather, born in 1910, the same generation as Joe Louis, was 6'3. People today...
To be fair, Holyfield dropped Mercer with a body shot.
Just watched the fight before I posted this thread. He was 213 pounds.
The Louis that stopped Walcott vs whatever version of Quarry you think is prime.
Why weren't Soviet fighters allowed to fight professionally?
They have always been around and were routinely beaten by 180-200 pound fighters in times past. And these fighters were 180-200 pounds on fight...
How would you rate his win over Louis?
You wouldn't consider Ali's win over Frazier, Liston, Foreman or Norton as comparable?
Charles gives Marciano a hard fight. But probably the same outcome as their 1st fight.
Thread title. Did he have one of the best of all time?
A great fight. Rocky has to dig deep to win, but Marciano gets the win with a late stoppage. He takes some hard right hands along the way.
Charles beat Louis in 1950, but could he beat the Louis of 36 that Schmeling beat?
Agree. I don't think he could go through that gauntlet undefeated. However, he could beat any one of them in 1 off fights.
Yeah but the fact remains that Moore was undefeated at heavyweight by anyone other than 3 ATGs. And I could see all 3 of them possibly beating...
An entertaining fight. Lyle will probably drop Dempsey and it will be a slugfest, but Dempsey comes out on top by KO
