Prime Louis Versus Lewis

you think wrong his jab wouldnt do nothing cause he never would land it stop trolling he would be ko by lennox in a min try watching lennox instead of saying idiotic things joe moved real bad

 

Whats up with your obsession with footwork?

And what was so bad about Joes movement? He had great form, very rarely off balance, Always at his preferred range. And when moving in for the kill he could close the distance quick. You don't need to hop around the ring Like a Jack Rabbit to show off your good feet. First thing they taught me when I started fighting was to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground.

 

Calling members names again. Administrators, please get rid of this guy permanently. He adds nothing to this forum and is the most predictable member here. He's proved himself virulently ignorant of boxing time and again.

 

Surprised by your choice George. Lewis the ultimate heavyweight I reckon apart from Ali.

 

Lewis is a very, very great ATG. But many would say that Louis, Ali, Foreman, Holyfield...none were knocked out early by third raters.

 

Yes. That made me lmao too.

 

why when it's the truth

 

well when looking at him compared to jers he looks basic stiff and slow have you seen that match to ask a odd question and im not talking footwork only he is basic and stiff

 

Lewis does possess better skills than the equivalently sized behemoths Louis destroyed. Excellent skills and speed “for” a big man we might say - but still less skilled and slower than Louis in absolute S2S terms. So, in tandem with his skill set, Lennox’ size advantage is the biggest consideration here - and justifiably so.

However, it’s not as if Louis unduly struggled with or didn’t obliterate the likes of Carnera, Simon and Baer with relative ease. Lewis is of course a tougher proposition but there’s plenty of leeway between easy (Carnera etc.) to difficult (Lewis) for Louis to still ultimately prevail over an appreciably larger opponent.

 

That's true. Did avenge both defeats as well though.

 

Lewis is not 'very similar' to Carnera.

 

stop repeating bull joe was only skilled on a person who stood there why cant you people see that lennox is way more skilled then him

and joe did do those trash dudes with I guess ease but put Lennox in there and he runs though them in a handful of punches in the 1st

 

Really not sticking your neck out there, are you, mate?

 

We need a few comparisons

I don't think his footwork was the problem against Jersey. Louis was mostly in the range to land his punches and Got off his jab often but had trouble following up because Jersey was always slipping and backing off trying to lure Louis into a counter right. Louis wasnt slow, just very, very cautious of Jerseys counters.
