    Louis was way over the hill at age 36, but damm he was a big guy who sure packed a wallop at times. Valentino got destroyed. :shock:

    Interesting the record books don't even show this.
    It was an "exhibition".

    Then you have things like Tyson-Seldon, Haye-Harrison and Klitschko-Mormeck being "world championship fights". :lol:

    That right hand under and over is a thing of beauty. So smooth and accurate, but just a devastating combo....wow. Thx for posting!

    I agree...it was awesome, and very quick considering Louis' advanced age (relatively speaking).

    Louis has to be the most clinical HW finisher ever...HW GOAT for me...
