Don't be so stupid, and that goes for the poster above you. Schmelling took Louis out with ONE right hand. I couldn't care less what happened previously in the round, Scmelling nailed Louis with a right hand, Louis went down and the ref counted him out. If you, or any other Joe Louis fan want to believe Schmelling or ANY other Louis opponent hit as hard as LL, just keep trying to convince yourselves. I have neither the time, nor the inclination to bother with such drivel.
He did not take him out with one right it took him multiple right hands. Louis was on another level than Lennox just face it bro heavyweight champ 11 years
Halfwits I can deal with. Liars are completely different. Schmelling NAILED Louis with one right hand. ( both were punching each other throughout the fight ) Moments before that Louis hits Schmelling with one of his " vaunted " lefts. Next thing he is down, and OUT. If people want to quote statistics, fine, but lets have all of them. Out of Joe's 11 year reign. how many were given over to exhibitions, and meaningless crap due to WW.2? Please,please please, some Louis fanboy tell me that Schmelling hit harder than LL. That way everyone can have a laugh. If all these Joe Louis fans were so impressed, why didn't they and their families put their fvcking money where their mouths were, and help the poor ******* when he was alive, instead of letting him become a greeter at a Vegas casino to scratch a few dollars?
Louis was too small... No way he wins. Lennox knocks him out early.... There are two kinds of people in these kinds of threads, the realists and people with a hard on for the past who fail to see reality.....
The only question is how many rounds Louis would survive? 2 rounds? 3 rounds? He'd be going through hell from the opening bell on and probably knocked out inside 5 minutes.
This is just nuts... Apparently Louis was one punched KOed by Schemling and Rahman KOed Lewis with a sustained beating. I'm out.
surely its about landing in the right place than hiting harder? agree fully with this bit, terrible behaviour by AMerica. but not unexpected given their racial Nazism at the time.
lewis has the edge but its no way clear cut, I can see Louis stopping Lewis or Lewis stopping Louis, especially is Lewis wasn't cocentrating as Lewis is famous for. But Lewis full focused has a sligh edge over Louis. Course Louis would be ok to get up fro being floored too by Lewis. Louis by SD or Lewis by TKO. A lot depends on which Lewis turns up, Lewis or Louise. I mean Louis, which Louis turns up too. man dis is confusing.
