    Schmeling nowhere near as good or as tall or as broad or as powerful as AJ, he DOMINATED Louis when Louis was primed. AJ isn't even within ten weight classes if you look at how the low weights go in increments, because it would be the same with Joshua at the heavyweight if you put limits there within the limit and the unlimited limitation spectrum and modern training and nutrition has evolved too so that Louis would not even no what hit him and his body look like that of a pubescent boy next to Anthony Joshua who is so big and they said that Wladimir would be tough for Louis and Joshua bigger than even that naturally as we will see in years to come.

    Why do people, when discussing Joe Louis, freaking OBSESS over what Max Schmeling did to him on June 19, 1936, and ignore what he did to Max Schmeling on June 22, 1938, when he was focused and prepared and hadn’t been screwing his way through Harlem before the fight?

    Schmeling had the mental fortitude, guts and guile that Joshua will never attain in his career.
    Max also had a better chin, a faster right and was a better tactician.
    He fought a 22 year old Louis who was two years into his pro career.
    They fought again when Louis was 24.
    Compare how Louis dealt with Max in the rematch to how Joshua boxed Ruiz and Usyk in their rematches, AJ not nearly as green or young as Louis btw.
    Louis traumatizes him in 5 rounds.
