Is Joe Louis The Most Complete Heavyweight?

Bowe got hit just too much

 

Ali and Louis are top two all time. However if you know how to fight and you know what you are looking at Louis was by far and away the greater technical fighter. You need to look more in depth at Louis to understand the breath of his capabilities as a fighter. He could come forward in attack mode as he did vs Schmeling in 38, second B Baer fight, sidestep and box/counterpunch cleverly as he did vs Galento, M Baer and also fight a great strategic game plan as he did vs Godoy in fight two. louis had the most complete package of skills of any other hwt champion. One of the best punchers, best combination puncher, best finisher, one of the best left jabs and with all this offensive firepower had the ability to slip, block, feint and counter with pinpoint accuracy. Best mesh of puncher and boxer in hwt history.

 

Excellent post Perry.
