    they always say that quote how they were heavy but they leave out movement and skill why not put that in

    matches are never won just cause of weight only so why not put the other stuff I said in only a idiot a person who is simple minded or a idiot talks on weight only like that's the only thing that matters cause without putting in the stuff I said the weight doesnt matter so why say it

    but that is wrong it only last a couple punches before joe is ended he has no way to stop tom

    and yes deon being trash is not trash compared to those dudes he would ko them all fast except jers they had no way to stop him

    ETM is not a troll and neither am I. Certainly not Mr. Magoo either whose a fairly level headed individual. You accuse me of trolling for "years", but your join date is this year. Obviously you could have been lurking but that's an odd claim to make.

    Not as odd as claiming you don't read my posts but you can't seem to stop mentioning me when it has nothing to do with the topic. It's flattering that I live rent free in your head without even engaging with you, but I suggest you find another hobby. To use your favorite word, your debating abilities are TRASH.

    You have yet to "prove" any claims you've made in this thread or any thread really. Whether it's your claims about Louis' tech being outdated or claiming people who disagree with you are "lying" and not accepting "facts". WHO have you convinced with your nonsensical rhetoric other than the small handful of weirdos who had already made up their minds? You've already admitted you type poorly on purpose and you've repeatedly insulted anyone who disagrees with you. The only conclusion I can reach at this point is that you're a child in a man's body. Log off and go touch some grass.

    Nobody believes it, and the person claiming that is widely believed to be...well, just that.

    I just watched Mercer vs Morrison fight. Can anybody show me exact moments when Ray showed this superior "modern" movement that Louis wasn't capable of? Mercer, outside of his chin and basic boxing skills, showed little else in this fight - he just survived a few rounds and Morrison had nothing left.

    How can anybody watch this fight and believe that Louis would be unable to counter Morrison? It wasn't hard at all and Mercer isn't one tenth of a counter puncher Louis was.

    YOU brought up the weight card - you were easily disproven on that score now you’re trying to take another path - now it’s they were “oh so crude”.

    No they weren’t and LOL, Deontay Wild(er) is the last person you’d want to call in to dig yourself out of that hole.

    Yeah, sure, tune up Bentt’s counter right was so artful wasn’t it? That’s all it took to start Tommy boy on his way, DESTROYED in barely over half a round. That NEVER happened to Joe - I guess that fact has to smart and trying to project a similar fate onto Joe won’t change what happened to Morrison.

    Funny, I see in a post to @ETM you’ve gone back down to 180 lb club fighters. All over the place, aren’t you? Among some other 200 lb + guys Joe faced, even Max Baer who was KD’d and KO’d for the FIRST time ever by Louis was 30 lbs above your nominated, agenda driven “threshold”.

    I said Braddock was a big framed guy who stood 6’2 1/2”, I didn’t say big because he stood 6’2 1/2”. Don’t forget, you tried to pass Braddock off as being 190 lb for Louis.

    But hey, never mind, you have a transparent agenda. which sees you STILL pushing for Braddock being a natural 160 lb’r?

    Wow, he wore the “extra” 37 lbs awfully well when he fought Louis. didn’t he? That’s about the a 20% mark up on his “natural” weight without any mod. day weight training.

    Louis was off balance and not hurt when he went down from Braddock’s right uppercut.

    That’s not a justification, that’s exactly how it was but try and squeeze it for all it’s worth - which is very little.

    I mean, Joe still wasn’t pulverised like Tommy was so I guess exaggerating the flash KD by Braddock helps to soothe the pain.

    Your boy Tommy gets methodically dismantled and unequivocally KO’d by The Bomber.

    I hope you all are aware that Morrison is a natural 190 lbs. He started his career at 198 lbs after all.

    Well, the above post makes you a complete IDIOT - given your own usage of the term you should be okay with it coming back at you. A karmic boomerang.

    The poster you’re replying to brought up and accented on weight and weight only.

    Why didn’t you refer to him as an IDIOT as and when?

    I’ll tell you why, because your didn’t care until his point was crushed in equal and opposite terms.

    Your talk is fake. LOL.

    Louis versus Morrison must provoke a lot of controversy, considering so far it's caused two new posters in a row to appear and immediately jump into the fray swinging.

    The argument that Louis got dropped by guys under 200 pounds doesn't seem very compelling given Morrison didn't fight many if any capable opponents under 200 pounds. There are light heavyweights I would favor over Morrison who never faced a smaller man as accomplished as Beterbiev, Ward, Bivol etc

    Also why is Morrison brought up in the context of modern fighters. His prime was a long time ago and the sport no doubt has changed in the meantime.

    you keep saying these specific matches like most simple minded people do which mean nothing

    no Tom match matters Joe is the one who needs a fighter to compare to and the only one we got is jers which showed joe was to outdated what is it you think tom will be doing just walking straight ahead why when he can move around

    Can you produce a vid of any great 90s fighter showing movement identical to Louis or Conn?

    If not, then you should admit that Louis and Conn had amazing movement that unskilled, inferior 90s fighters cannot imitate.
