    A 37 year old Joe Louis had nothing for a prime Rocky Marciano.

    41 year old Wladmir Klitschko knocks down a prime Anthony Joshua and nearly wins the fight.

    What does that say about Louis, Marciano, Klitschko and Joshua??

    Idk but what I DO know is if Marciano had been nearly knocked out in the 6th rd by Joe Louis then he would be absolutely CRUCIFIED by fans today.

    Well one thing is for sure... 41 year old Wlad made a much better account of himself and didn't get knocked out as brutally as Louis.

    That's not a knock on Joe... that's just a fact.

    Never been a huge fan of the Klitschko's, but have always had respect for their dedication to the sport. I have never knocked them in any way in the last few years. Its amazing how many new fans Wlad has gained yesterday after so many knocking him in recent years.

    Although he lost yesterday, it was still a win in my books. Wish he would have won though! Wlad's power is for sure the real thing!
