    shown here Louis was aggresive with jersey 1st round got caught and fell from a left hook
    he was brawling mutiple times I have said he couldnt do that with George but they said I was wrong no I wasnt

    2nd drop was from a right hook from Louis tiptoeing like I said he did

    but he can just walk forward and take any shot George gives him and just unload shots lie he wasnt that tough never close to it was hurt and dropped by way weaker

    the man wasnt that tough for taking big shots none of these man like i said hit as hard as a old George or cut the ring off Louis would be done and fast

    George was slow I know that somebody will bring that up but the point like I keep saying is Louis has to move and not brawl like he did with Jersey who was great at punching fast which we know can cause a ko cause of the suddenness

    Louis UD. Foreman's comeback was overrated and he beat almost nobody of note. Louis would cautiously outbox Foreman from the outside given he wasn't mobile and would've scored an easy decision.

    Louis would not defend his title again before announcing his retirement from boxing on March 1, 1949. In his bouts with Conn and Walcott, it had become apparent that Louis was no longer the fighter he had once been.

    15 rounds would be too much for George, so late ko for Louis.

    never had to be sense I never do
    doesn't matter debunk what I said cause I was told louis could just brawl out George and he didnt have to move alot to avoid taking damage

    he never was real tough and he never moved real good and would for a fact have to move with George debunk it

    You proved nothing in the first place. You have no clue what the difference between the truth and your opinion is.

    He moved a lot faster than George, looked how he skipped back from Baer`s shots, who was more quick-fisted than George.

    he did move faster then max but max who was nothing like George he was n

    I want a answer to the match I shown which shows more how it would go not max which people always compare for some odd reason

    Jersey showed constant pressure like George and jersey showed a person who when caught a person on the right spot could cause them to fall max never had that talent

    your avoiding the question by putting in max cause you said mutiple times how Louis can just brawl cause he had fast hand but he shouldnt have tried to outbrawl a fast counter puncher like jersey same as he couldnt do with George

    you make it seem like Louis while getting hit is not hurt by those shots from George yet was hurt easy by Jersey and max George hit harder then them even at a old age by a good amount

    Louis couldnt avoid every shot Jersey threw he couldnt from George cause Louis defense never was that great

    max looked like a joke like he never even trained to be a real boxer just to be a comedy act and your comparing him to George why
    it's the reason i dont say any names back then except Louis the roster was so filled with people like that its ridiculous

    I`m comparing Max with George because he was faster and couldn`t touch Louis with longer jab, look how many 78.5 inch jabs Foreman caught Holy with, Louis was far harer to hit than Holy.
