    Style.

    That would be somebody with good footwork who could keep the slower footed Louis at the end of his punches.
    Or somebody who could shift angles really well.


    Not so much styles but I can see Pinklon Thomas beating Louis on the merit of his jab alone.

    So the footage you've seen is superior to the footage of Louis that exists out there?

    I call b.s. Unless you can tell me the fight you've seen which shows a better fighter than Joe Louis I'm having none of it.

    Bottom line you're bailing because your bluff has been called Sunny Jim !

    What have you seen of his stylistically which leads you this conclusion?

    Break it down with video evidence please.

    Educate me.

    So you're going to state an opinion and make zero attempt to back it up?

    I'm no expert on either fighter ,or indeed any fighter , but I'd say a solid case could be made for either man.
    I might lean towards Louis purely because, if Langford had an Achilles heel it was that he was susceptible to a good jab and Joe had one of the best.

    I've offered like 10 different bets to this guy.
    He talks down to people, and talks **** to them, and calls them wrong.
    Then you offer to bet him, and he shuts up.

    We have something in common,he dislikes both of us! But that's hardly unique he doesn't seem to like anyone much!

    There is no discussion since you aren't willing to discuss it.

    Explain why you hold your opinion please.
