The Brown Bomber vs Big George.

no need to be condescending, that just happened to be the first page I looked at in this thread

 

Irrelevant. Louis wouldn't have Ali's chin and gameplan. Therefore RIP Louis.

 

I see what you are saying though Baer might argue that he did have what it took to win the title.

 

If Morrison could take a given amount of punishment then Louis could take it blindfolded.

 

Shavers prolly would too. At the end of the day both were short of the pinnacle.

Mate i'm not one to detract from Joe Louis i think he's an astonishing fighter, i'm just fighting for George's side here as i think he's being sold a little short. IMO he definitely has his physical chance in this one.

 

The punches very likely to knock a fighter out ones that he doesn't see coming and isn't mentally prepared for. I think the blindfold therefore means Joe will be taking a wee nap.

 

I was talking metaphoricaly.

I think you would agree that Louis was a lot more durable than Morrison.

 

But Baer actualy did win the title to give him his due.

 

Are you blind? I wrote "although Foreman lost". Ali took the beating of his life and won because of Foreman's exhaustion and Ali's ability to absorb punches. I can't see Louis pulling an Ali nore pulling a Morrison. Louis chin was suspect,plain and simple.

 

I hope you are aware of how often Louis got floored.....? Foreman's power would be too much for Louis' chin.

 

I am well aware of how many times Louis was droped. It partly reflects the fact that he fought dozens of ranked contenders rather than just a handfull like Foreman.

Do you know how many times Louis was taken out with a single punch?

Never.
