    Would the beloved Brown Bomber have been held in the same esteem if he was a seven foot tall Russian with a prominent forehead? Discuss.

    He would still live in the shadow of the great 'Sugar' Nikolai Valuev

    Josef Louiski If he were Russian and won the title in1937 America wouldn't give a f*ck about him as most of them didn't even know where Russia was.:yep

    The drink Black Russian would be in vogue in the 30's and 40's?. Enough of these silly threads. Mod's, bring out the broom.

    There is some quality control here. Example: Some of your threads are deleted.

    I just don't see the point of these type of threads. If Joe Louis was born in Russia in the 1930's, you would have never heard of him.

    bigger body mass means reduced cardio efficiency. at 7 foot tall joe would be a weaker fighter and may well lose some of the narrow 15 round high tempo battles he was in.

    this is pretty much it.

    he'd have died likely heroically defeating the Nazis, and americans would subsequently claim they won the war.

    This was intended to be a satirical thread...poking at the "what if Marciano was black" concept...a thread calculated to allow some Brits to inject their ever present anti-American venom and hatred. This kind of **** has no place in a boxing forum...but you don't have a lounge here, so it appears ever so transparent in a classic boxing forum.
