Martin Bakole vs Joe Louis

Would he though?

 

Bakole is as slow as Joyce and as easy to hit,no head movement ,no defence, and no foot work, plus he is carrying surplus weight.Louis would carve him up like a side of beef.

 

Joe Louis would beat him like someone tenderizing a tough cut of meat.

 

Yes

 

I am going to need to see much more before I am convinced.

 

Seriously guys, so far so good, but lets keep some sense of proportion.

Active fighters are not like the old timers, they can blow up in your face and embarrass you.

 

He will not have a long career at HW with that defense. Against upper echelon fighters there gonna expose the heck out of him. Anyone w a strong 1/2/3 combo is gonna crush him. Wide open and he’s slow.

 

Agreed with the premise of what you’re saying. How many truly good upper echelon heavies are out there now ? Usyk only has a couple fights left in him and probably won’t be meeting Bakole before his career is over. Other than that ? Fury has deteriorated and only taking big pay days from here on out. I suppose Joseph Parker might beat Bakole

 

Michael Hunter who destroyed Bakole is realistically only like 6'1 you guys

 

Louis rips him apart.
However I will say this Bakole has ability, I don’t know who trains him but a top trainer should jump on him. He is slow and overweight but the latter can be fixed. What he has is extremely heavy hands, and fluid punch selection. Plus a long reach it can be difficult to back away from him clean unless you are an excellent boxer. He needs to stay active and capitalize after this big win against another recognizable name quickly.

 

Bakole was 11-0 with no notable am experience. Hunter was world class already.

 

I like Bakole too but Hunter straight up ravaged him

 

It is said that when Iris Murdoch and John Bayley's home got particularly messy, they would just move. And I think we need to do that here, with this thread.
