    nice little German documentary that has colorized footage of Max's first fight with Sharkey and his first Louis bout. Plus Max's butt in the shower lol

    Well done, a terrific find. Just makes you wonder what other gems are out there.

    Scheming is underrated. That performance vs Louis is one of the greatest in ring history. Schmeling is capable of repeating that performance vs other greats

    It’s a shame he has that brutal knockout loss to Baer on his resume..he was better than Baer, just had a bad night

    Rumsfeldt's rankings told the story.

    Schmeling was basically the standout heavyweight of the 1930s!

    I agree. And he has very good all time power. 40 lifetime ko’s. Among them the only man to stop Young Stribling. Only man to stop prime Risko. Only man to stop Hamas. One of only two to stop Louis. And he did it in Louis prime.

    Schmeling was very good athlete. Well put together. He lifts Stribling off the canvas and carries him to his stool- in the 15th Round!

    Wish he had received the Sharkey decision and maybe had received one more big fight in his career. But he is a top 20 all time heavy for me
