    I hav Joe Louis between #6 and #4 on my ATG P4P list. It changes all the time though.

    I voted yes BUT I mean in the sense that he is, to me, arguably there, with a rational argument. That doesn't mean I put him there. I have him outside my own top ten, currently, but he is close to it, on my list. I believe he is one of several guys who reasonably, arguably do fill the 6-10 slot somewhere, if you go for it.

    Next month he'll say "Before I didn't think Pacquiao could beat Louis, but now that he's beaten Shane, I feel he can edge him on the cards."

    ...Unless Shane knocks him out.

    I can promise all of you that there is definitely not 10 fighters in history greater than Joe Louis.

    Freddie Roach`s head is up his ass but Joe is top 10 p4p for me anyway & no2 at HW all time.

    Billy Conn made Louis look like he was lost. There are so many fighters that i would pick over Louis H2H it's not even funny. Real talk.

    I only watched the first twelve rounds, i'll get back to you as quickly as possible. You had money on this fight?

    No, I've been broke since my large wager on Godoy in the Louis rematch...He had Joe so lost in the first fight that he lost. I was almost certain he'd win.
