    A Fix??/ I have the fight complete all 12 rounds, and Louis have taking FAR too many right hand bombs on the chin for that to be a fix. It was not Louis's night that day. Lets not forget that Louis had a busted up face after getting ko in round 12.

    I may be wrong but seems curious to me that of all people he had to lose to Schmeling. He could have lost to any of the others - they are more or less the same level. I would think that if anyone he would lose to Baer because he is more dangerous and unpredictable. Schemling very slow and methodical and Joe came out way to slow and didnt try to take charge like he did in all his other fights. I think he was better than max and didnt lose another match until almost 1950.

    Schmeling is far more dangerous than baer. Baer unpredictable? LOL have u watched the film? the man had atrocious boxing skills, horrible punching technique. he was as predictable as they come.

    Schmeling on the other hand was an A level master counterpuncher, and he was not slow, his hands were very fast......and he used being methodical to his advantage so he could come out of nowhere with his sneaky right hand

    Fact:

    Louis fought Carnera who was a standup strongboy slugger

    Louis fought Baer who was another dangerous standup predictable slugger

    Louis never fought no first class counterpuncher before, he had yet to fight an A level boxer, something he wasnt stylistically used to so early in his career.



    ps louis fought sharkey after schmeling, and sharkey was an aggresive first class boxer who loved to brawl, but he was no Master Counterpuncher like schmeling. Guys who came into louis paid the price, guys who made louis come into them(schmeling) had success until louis corrected his flaws

    What is there to laugh about when it comes to Clay vs Liston I?

    That was a great win. People have all kind of theories and excuses for Liston nowadays, but the fact is that Clay fought a great fight against a fighter that was regarded as absolutely unbeatable at the time, a true monster. No HW had been held in such awe since Louis at his peak and young Clay came in and schooled him. Anyone who says that wasn't a great win is either biased or knows **** all about boxing.

    You sincerely dont know boxing friend. Baer was well known as a dangerous fighter in history (See Ernie Schaaf, Primo Carnera). And you should know this judging by the record. If Schmeling were so superior to Baer then why is it that the man with "atrocious boxing skills and horrible punching technique" batterd the "A level counterpuncher" into defeat?

    You seriously need to stay out of these kinds of debates especially when it's already known you can't finish what you start.

    What you need to do is go into the 30 fighters thread and give me Camacho's 5 best wins instead of running away.

    :hi:

    I'm guessing running away is considered honourable strategy to Camacho fans.

    Douglas-Tyson in terms of putting everything into one evening. Douglas never did much before or after the Tyson fight, but put it all together that night.

    Baer caught Schmeling on an off night, but Baer Fought Tremendously that night he deserves all the credit for Exploiting Schmeling.

    However explain to me why Louis easily destroyed Baer in 4 rounds, Then schmeling beats the **** out of louis for 12 rounds?


    Schmeling was a better fighter than Baer


    Whats the Old adage........Speak for yourself??
