Do you agree with Joe Louis being called the greatest puncher of all time?

you sure about that? you've probably never watched a louis fight in your life.

 

would he have beaten lennox lewis? lennox would have smashed him to pieces in a couple of rounds. not even close.

I give the edge to Tyson as far as technique speed and timing to create power over Louis IMO

 

i agree.

 

80s Tyson smashes the best Lennox to bits.

 

Not the greatest puncher, but definitely the greatest finisher.

 

Louis is the greatest Hw of all time period. Doesn't matter if he is the greatest puncher or if Marciano, Liston, Foreman or Tyson or Lewis are. Louis is bigger than Ali and Ali is BIG. Doesn't matter how Ali would do against him cause they are from different eras.

Lewis vs Joe Louis.



Lewis made a career out of destroying big punchers. Now did any of them punch as hard as Joe Joe, debatable. That being said Louis need to get inside on Lennox to win this one. If Joe can constantly land those lefts and inside combinations to the body of Lennox and some to the head, he will make it a very long night.
I just don't see how Joe can consistantly do this without taking massive punishment himself though.
Lewis would be the best all around fighter that Louis fought in terms of overall power,speed,skills and ring generalship. Joe fought Buddy Bear, Buddy Bear is like a 4th grade Lennox Lewis. Lewis have too much a combination of size, power, skills, jab, and that big right hand for the much smaller Joe to overcome.
The upper cuts Lewis will land as Joe gets inside will be too much and too devasting.
Joe will give it a great go, he is a ruthless stalker and one of the great finishers. Once Joe gets you hurt, it's very hard for you to recover. The one thing we DO see from Lewis is that he recovers from being hurt very quickly. Outside of the two fluke ko's, every fight Lewis was hurt in, he came back stronger.
Vitali-Bruno-Mercer-Briggs-Mason he was hurt in all of them and he came back. Obviously not one of those guys were any where near Joe's caliber, I'll admit that much.
Still I just don't see Joe's combinations,skills,power and heart over coming Lewis's own combinations, skills, SUPERIOR SIZE, superior jab, superior power, and equal heart.





Hmm Vlaidmir23 was right,, copy and pasting is fun.

 

Right :yep

 

I have no problem with that .Than man was one hell of a boxer with a big punch !

 

NO to the first question.

Against Ali... if Billy Conn was basically a super middleweight and could do what he did, then I'd have to pick Ali...
