    No. No fighter in history overpowers Joe. Foreman would lumber in and get hit with everything in the book.

    I think Louis would get the better of the exchanges. He'd get off first, his hands were quicker than George's. His combinations landing cleanly would be too much for even a tough guy like George. Not to mention Louis was a legendary counterpuncher.

    Did he actually hit Max Baer with a triple lefthook? Or is that the film skipping? 1:27

    He seems as much a Boxing Miracle as Ali in the 60s.

    Ali mechanically was not sound and his defence was nonsense his chin and will to win kept him in the game. Joe Louis was actually competent at boxing.
