    max one of the top guys back then and louis see how they both move tiptoe like while not having good upper body movement compared to 70s-90s they look stiff
    easy to read and just like amateurish

    see here George blocking cross armed still hit real hard
    fighting a no name but even this no name look how he circles around look how bounces

    look how he punches to the belly quick and out resets then throws diff types of punches from mutiple angles agian not done in Louis era as smoothly or at the same pace

    so no conclusion these are vids shown here you cant or nobody else show anybody who moved like that dude George fought in vid

    and no like I said mutiple times those Louis fought would never make it out the amateurs so no they wasnt skilled compared to those 70s-90s and no they wasnt faster as shown in the vid I posted your lies are bad

    and no those dudes wasnt what people would call hw by the way they were built they look small or just not strong they didnt know how to fight as real big men who knew how to use their size so no they wasnt really hw

    it was nobody who went toe to toe with the best ver of George 90s well except holy for a long time nobody else did it for a long time so he still cut off but still had people running or fighting from a distance cause he hit to hard or they had to use more defense then usually sense he still did push and did cut off ok

    I dont make up lies like you its fact
    legends like magoo and flash couldnt even debunk the fact that im right cause it didnt exist no boxer back then had movement like I shown a no name rodrigues had

    just like its fact Louis would need advances

    Galento’s style seemed to fit the mold of the type of fighter who Foreman generally made short work of. I’m guessing it ends quick

    Thinking about Max Baer getting Louis in a corner and unloading which hurt Louis but woke up his inner killer....the thing about Foreman getting into a punch up with Louis is Louis hands were machine fast and accurate. The entire fight depends on the referee keeping George from pushing Louis off which is illegal but seemed to be never enforced in Foreman fights

    louis being fast means nothing like I keep saying cause his footwork was bad outdated he cant trade with George and his defense was bad
    Louis needs to land and he couldnt not much

    really dont know why you people keep comparing George to max George was way better then him and was a real hw have you seen George

    Louis had excellent balance.....balance and punching leverage don't go out of date.....we are talking about power and Louis killer instinct when hurt.....Louis was the same size as Holyfield. and 1" shorter than Holmes

    You are confusing film technology and how good fighters were then.....I have seen modern fighters videos refilmed or effects of the same technology and fighters look essentially the same.....Louis stalked and shuffled more than most fighters

    lol! Louis was an amazing counter puncher, he would have countered nearly all of George`s blows, Tommy couldn`t box to save his life, Foreman ws just a lumbering powerpuncher in the 90`s.

    nearly all now your over doing it when did you see louis do this and holy is the top 5 best hw of all time on a skill level and great counter puncher and he couldnt counter almost all of George and he moved way better then louis

    I need proof of Louis moving like holy or anybody else in 90s

    show it cause then when we have that proof then yea Ill argee Louis wins

    This content is protected
    holy here moves great
    show proof of louis using any of this upperbody movement/footwork

    and show proof of any man louis fought who used their size like George did or who hit hard like George did or had their opponent staying away like George did cause they hit so hard
    need a vid of any 1 person joe fought who had all that in 1 boxer

    I already exposed max as not moving nothing like George

    max doesn't work moved nothing like George wasnt a bully type and didnt use his size like a real hw so which man is it

    galento way to sloopy used to fall from being so sloopy bad punch tech

    two dudes known for hitting hard but that's it
    so who do you got
    why is it I keep asking this question to

    legends who been here for years and nobody will show me proof of Louis moving like 90s why does nobody show it is it hard to find or is it cause it didnt exist

    Look how Louis lowered his head levels before punching, Foreman and Baer had no head movement, why are you lumping Baer and Louis in the same pile, Baer was completely out-skilled.

    Foreman was far slower than Louis in the 90`s and his feet looked like they were in cement, Louis was in far better condition.

    Foreman couldn`t stay at long range as Louis lowered his head levels and came in because his feet were too slow.

    Foreman's first 40 fights up to his title shot. Who were the contenders he proved himself against. There's alot of fluff there. Some big names at the top lacking some depth.
    The problem here is Foreman's. He is gonna get beat to the punch. Louis won't move like Alex Stewart or Morrison he wouldn't have to. His boxing IQ could keep Foreman a step behind. The jab, double it up, fient George into knots and drop the hammer.
    Eddie Futch knew more boxing than all of us. He's saw all of the good heavyweights. They grew up together and sparred together as amputees. Eddie was a lightweight. Futch has said Joe Louis was a student of boxing. He picked up mistakes opponents made caught them.

    It may not be the image of Joe Louis but its the substance. A guy holds the crown that many titles defenses has to be a smart fighter. Faced every style and dealt with it.

    It would have been a very sad fight to watch.

    It would have ended with old Foreman battered into submission, as helpless as Louis in his last outing against Marciano.

    can I have a vid of Louis fighting a name with a man who used their size great like George or who had people fighting him from distance mostly to avoid his power

    cause it is no match with George even at old age where anybody just brawled the whole match with him not even holy top 5 best hw ever on a skill level

    so dont know why your saying Louis wouldnt have to move he would for fact have to and move good not only to land but to avoid getting took out fast

    didnt he get hurt by way less punchers then George and dropped by them who were never close to George power and none were great at cutting the ring

    i need the vids of what im asking you to prove the point in how Louis lands and wins

    no trainer can make a fighter fight a certain way or pick a match of outcome so no trainer

    cause tom I know hit way harder and moved way better then all of those Louis fought and he knew he wasnt that tough for taking but shots so yea he had to move he moved good
    Louis like others has to move its not a choice
