    I'm saying Tyson hit faster. My mistake I didn't look at what post you were responding to.

    it is a joke and just showed the bum that carnera was in boxing, primo would toy with louis in a strength competition.
    if you are saying that a skinny 6´2 198 pounder was stronger than tua or tyson 5,10 and 5,11 weighing 220 and 226 in shape. ( 1 leg of tua was like 2 of louis). you are a little drunk

    I'm saying you saying the opposite does not make it a given.

    Haven't had a drink since Sunday,won't have one till this coming Saturday .Louis was not skinny ,neither was he 6'2", he was 6'1.5".

    the myth of joe louis is boring and disgusting yet on this forum. this guy was not a hw, was a cruyiserweight and tyson himself had no problem picking himself over louis by ko, however he never ever said that he would have beaten foreman and ali prime vs prime, it is on film. louis could be hurt and knocked out by small guys not even full sized cruisers. and now a few idiots will say that schmeling had a great right hand blablabla, schmeling is not even a top 50 hardest punchers ever. not even a top 50!!. tua would ko schmeling probably in 1-2 rounds. michael moorer was better and bigger than schmeling and hits harder...
    these same idiots will say that tony galento was a great serious fighter in order to give louis more merit, and it is laughable. galento was nothing but a pork bum at with a left hook and he nearly knocked louis out. if tua catched louis like that you could count until 50

    I fail to see how.

    Ali went 2-1, officially, against the real Joe Frazier. (ought to be 1-2, arguably, if you subtract the meddling of their respective corner men in the rubber match and left it up to which man actually wanted to answer the bell again...but that's neither here nor there, and bottom line they just about killed each other, it was that close...)

    Why on earth would any version of him lose to Extremely Low Rent Joe Frazier?

    yes it is like a fact, they were clearly stronger men. they were built like tanks
    louis was skinny compared with tua and tyson.

    no, he was clearly 6´2 and you can argue that 6´2 1/2. he was very close to ali in height in the picks. i am 6´1 1/2 and ali is clearly taller than me

    Louis was six foot one and a half inches in height and I have that on very good authority.My source is Joseph Louis Barrow.
