What if Joe Louis was a 7' Russian?

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.

 

And he would've had iron chin, no skills and zero speed?

 

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.

 

That's rich, you complaining about quality control.atsch

 

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.

 

You're kind of funny in an unintentional way. :think

 

Just trying to make lemon aid of the lemon like posts. The comedy is some won't get the jokes.

 

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.

 

...and most all Brits have nasty yellow-brown stubs for teeth and are soap dodgers....one stupid stereotype after another,...when will you tire of that ****?

 

is he still black? the Bolshoi bomber isn't gonna cut it.

 

He's also kind of funny in a strange way.
