if joe louis was fighting during the.....

people who use the term bum of the month club are mongs who haven't actually looked at the rankings or actual fighters of that period.

 

what year?

 

Joe Louis did have a "bum of the month" period, when he fought 7 fighters in 7 months. It ran. from Dec. '40 to June '41.
Some were certainly NOT bums, certainly the last man on the schedule - Billy Conn - was no bum, and no one called him one. But he did end up on the schedule.

One or two of the others were of dubious quality though, as were some of Louis's other title defences.
Gus Dorazio and Tony Musto were certainly not world beaters, by any stretch.

Guz Dorazio would have won a SD over Ali.

 

I take back what I said.
Dorazio has a good record.

:good

 

You have to beat Ali quite clearly to get an SD, as Leon Spinks can attest.

 

Well Guz was "that' good. :yep

 

But would have been flattened by Cleveland Williams... probably to scared to enter the ring.

 

Nah, Guz was the man. A real fighters fighter.

 

That's one way of looking at it.
I prefer to say Ali was ****. :yep

 

True. He did lose to 14-20 Izzy Singer. Oh wait. That was Gus/z.
