https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXfVM-47A28 Louis takes apart the big hulk. Louis weighed in at a solid 207lb, a nice weight for him.
I argued on another forum that Louis may have had his true peak in '42, when he beat another giant, Buddy Baer again. http://www.ajdugger.com/forum.html#nabble-td3937378i60 By that time he had much more experience than when so motivated against Schmelling for the rematch. He fought in those few years excellent pressure fighters, sluggers & swarmers. And was still young & at his physical peak. And I like him a few lbs/ heavier here. Anyone else agree that in head to head match ups they would use '42 Louis? He must have learned so much more & was still so sharp.
