Joe Louis vs. Moses Itauma, the theory of boxing evolution...

Why does everyone do this? Wasn’t long ago we saw the posts of those who thought Ruiz, Wardley and Joyce would walk down Louis and others now they’re dust in the wind. Let the kid beat someone…anyone of note. His upcoming fight will be a good test. He has a lot of room to improve. Telegraphs a bit, looks inexperienced on inside fighting, and doesn’t seem to have many tricks. Buttt he’s got a lot of good skills and attributes that could make him great. Still raw though and maybe moving up to fast in comp

 

Louis’ career is fully in.

Given the breadth/depth of his opposition and longevity some might find it easier to pick holes in Joe’s game, real or imagined, as compared to the much shorter and far less comprehensive career of Moses.

Such premature analytical imbalances are all too often applied.

Not fair on either fighter but that much more unfair on Louis methinks.
