    Word for word in bold. It's on my thread about Chambers is NOT GOOD. Povetkin BAD. This is how to beat KLITSCHKO as a smaller man. Post #52

    In fact, if you actually had thought of that as part of the argument you would realize exactly how slow Louis is compared to Chambers.

    Joe Louis was not particularly fast and was capable of being out boxed maybe not a correct quote but not awful

    So you're completely unfamiliar with Joe Louis and the speed of his combinations.

    Look at Joe Louis's closing combination vs Jersey Joe Walcott 2 and then go ahead and log off.

    Louis had faster hands, but his feet were pretty slow. Since he was 35-50lbs lighter, i'd say he was faster, but by no means is there an immense difference.

    Look at Wlad throwing a quantriple hook against Austin, his knockdown of Byrd (rematch) or his combinations against Ray Mercer and tell me that's not fast..

    Joe Louis had quick hands but his feet were not very fast. Chambers can move. Maybe if you said fast hands for the quote but you said speed. Eddie is not slow. I mean you make it seem like Louis is lightning and Eddie molasses.

    When Wlad lets em go his hands are fast and powerful. Even his single punches not just combos his jab and his cross are very quick

    But to say that Wlad is much faster than a man he outweighs by 40 lbs is asinine.

    The guy looks incredibly fast against Carnera who is the closest figther in history that can be compared to Klitschko.

    Against guys like Jersey Joe Walcott, of course Louis had his style he's known best for because he was facing a slick boxer puncher mover that was close to his size.

    Against Carnera who outweighed him by close to what Klitschko did, he had to adjust his style, and had no problems getting inside and landing combinations.

    Something that guys like Chambers or Povetkin for instance look like they are incapable of doing.

    Comparing for size difference Wlad is faster. Hell, even Vitali is quicker.

    I'd compare Carnera to Valuev Klitschko is way faster and more talented.

    Eddie doesn't know how to utilize his handspeed against a guy that doesn't stand right in front of him or has any boxing ability at all.

    Eddie doesn't move his head, or on the slight occasion when he does, he doesn't do it in a way where he is in position to punch where he can let his hands go.

    Against Povetkin, Povetkin stood right in front of him, so Chambers could showcase his speed.

    Look at the difference in styles between Louis and Carnera.

    Valuev looks like Hellenius or Hellenius looks like Valuev.

    They both have big bodies, and short arms for their bodies width and stand straight up and down.

    Klitschko looks almost identical to Carnera (who CAN BOX) both in physical demensions and in fighting styles.

    It seems like everybody on this site takes this as an insult.
