    You failed to explain your take on Louis footwork so many times that I stopped believing you have anything valuable to say.

    "walking in throwing but not as smoothly
    missing the other things I said
    louis counters but it's mostly from a forward position not from mutiples like tom could do

    footwork is real slow stiff like tiptoeing looks to be almost the same as any opponent except a few
    head movement is not there"

    That's all you can give us? Seriously? "walking in throwing but not as smoothly" is not an analysis, it's an opinion of uneducated boxing fan. A child could make such a claim.

    thats all you got I see you said tom moved worst then max but shown no proof of it I proved you are a liar like always you cant proof I am by video max didnt move nothing like tom did or can you show joe moving like that

    if you could prove it where is the video like I shown you show the video that you said which shows max moving better then tom

    Schmeling used much different footwork than Morrison, but it was certainly more effective. Here is a good summary of Schmeling's performance against Louis:

    You can see how his subtle moves and distance judgement made Louis uncomfortable. He didn't dance around the ring, instead he fought close to Louis, just close enough to negate Louis jab.

    Schmeling's footwork wasn't one dimensional though. He could pressure his opponents successfully (see Stribling or Uzcudun fight), he could also stay in front of you and make you miss with head movement and shoulder rolls:

    You should realize that dancing around the ring is not the best available strategy.

    that's not good enough I need a match where he moved like they moved in 90s cause you said he moved better then tom using the technique I shown in video I need a video showing those things

    Are you aware that not all fighters in the 1990s moved the same way? Why do I even bother?

    To prove that a 1930s fighter moved better than Tommy Morrison, it is *not* necessary to prove that the 1930s fighter moved better than every single 90s fighter in existence.

    That burden of proof makes no sense. Tommy Morrison himself didn't move better than every 90s fighter.

    no its necessary sense that's what was said max moved better which he didnt the point is specific to that whole era which I said before but today it's only compared to max which I did show with the joe breakdown you asked me for

    the proof needs to be shown like it was said which was a lie I didnt get the proof that was told to me

    it needs to be proven cause that's the only way to pick max over joe he needs a video to show he can deal with that type of movement

    Here's what happened to Spinks when he fought a Heavyweight with a pulse and a punch:

    No, like he beat Larry Holmes.

    And here's what happened when Morrison fought a fighter with neither:
