Why was Joe Louis so horrible?

He's not sure.

He even misspelled his username.

 

What a joke this is. Louis imo is the best ever Heavyweight.

 

Joe Louis was horrible????...Yeah,...and then you woke up!!!

 

Yeah, like the new pic

 

and you forgot dundee's arrangement with the ropes in the foreman fight. but i would not consider frazier smokeless even at the same level of seriousness you did.
and ali should still be ranked above louis.

This thread was a real classic forum, classic..

 

While the thread starter is a ****... He has an underlying point that can't be denied.. Louis record against top flight all time greats is sketchy at best or non existent... There is some truth in that. He didn't beat many all time greats... and the ones he did fight either were beating.. got robbed of a decision or he lost to. Sure beating the best available fighters out there is all you can do at times... but to me what should also be factored in is how he did and looked against all time greats as well...

 

atsch

for ****s sake, read the posts above.

schmeling = ATG heavyweight
walcott = ATG heavyweight
max baer = borderline ATG heavyweight

that's three top 22 heavyweights louis beat.
not to mention....

conn = ATG light heavyweight + great heavyweight
buddy baer = good contender
tony galento = good contender

he also fought these men, and although he lost he still fought them.

charles = ATG heavyweight, ATG heavyweight, P4P ATG
marciano = ATG heavyweight

 

and your post disputes what exactly in my post... he lost to schmeling and was gifted a decision against Walcott.. so really it was exactly as I said.. were beating.. got robbed.. or he lost to. That statement is accurate with the ATG you just listed yourself... So what exactly was wrong with my post?

 

Do you and the thread starter take the same bus in the afternoon?

 

How many ATG heavyweights do have primes that overlap with other ATGs?

If they dominate sombody in your prime, then by definition you deny them the possibility of becomeing a great. They effectivley devalue their opposition.

If they loose to sombody, then they almost become great by default. They then beat a great fighter in the rematch.

Then by some strange coincidence, the greatest fighter they ever meet, happens to come allong when they are shot and cannot place any curbs on his legacy and eventual standing.

 

Is this thread still alive?

 

Wow!! So transparent and he still got 10 pages. Im surprised some people even tried to answer him
