Prime George Foreman vs. Prime Joe Louis.

Foreman KO

 

It could be argued that Baer had better right cross, quicker hands and faster feet.

Foreman is much better fighter overall though.

 

Baer was a glorified club fighter skill wise. He was a stud in his day that used his physical advantages to win. When he met guys close to equal physically he got beat like against Nova and Louis.

 

Baer fought lot of boxers who were bigger than him and had excellent record against them.

 

Louis' counter attacks would be painful for Foreman, but he wouldn't be going down and would have caught Louis eventually.

 

u wont get it I broke down above you responding to primo how louis cant

I dont get why they always compare max cause all they say is max hit hard
hitting Hard is not the only thing that matters in the sport

just like you said but in a nice way Im not nice max was trash compared the whole era was trash compared as far as movement is concerned to 70s

 

somebody with logic

 

he was max was nothing to George nobody knows max they know George he is still talked on

 

stop ron would stop him in a couple shots ron was a real hw

 

see what your saying you think which is a opinion on giving him advanced in movement he didnt have to compete with the 70s

fact like I shown last night his movement was to outdated

I gave the reason yesteday on how Louis was missing to much to hit George often
louis would lose and bad he has no way to win

I even posted a vid of Briggs an lennox showing advanced movement that never was in louis era and nobody will show it in louis era cause it didnt exist which proves I was right before I even showed it

he moved way to slow and straight forward without any good defense to win

it's no match where a person with bad defense and tiptoe like movement did good vs George they was destroyed

 

It would be a fight between two of the deadliest puncher’s of all time. I anticipate a lot of crowd pleasing action but also a short match. My inclination is to pick Joe Louis by KO but in a bout like this anything can happen when two huge hitters collide.

 

The key to this fight will be the jab, who's jab will control the action in the first round? I really like Louis but he's not a side to side mover and he'll be there for George. No doubt Joe could nail Foreman and hurt him but I think George's jab will stop Joe in his tracks and he'll get badly hurt. I cannot see a hurt Louis surviving against Foreman .

 

Quicker feet is very debatable. When Ali gives up dancing after just 1 round and says you can cut the ring off well, you obviously aren't a slow poke. It's understandable if you look at Foreman's seemingly slow ponderous clubbing punches and assuming his feet were also slow. To be fair he didn't move a lot and kind of just stalked guys like, well, a mummy or video game boss unless they gave him a reason to move quickly.

Hand speed I'll give to Baer.

Right cross? Well, Baer did throw it straighter than Foreman did form wise, you can give him a slight edge. I think Foreman did say in a tweet that he had an injury a long time ago that made it difficult for him to throw a completely straight right hand.

 

Totally agree about George's ability to cut the ring off, which is why I pick Foreman over Louis.
