Watch Max Scmeling destroy Joe Louis here--great quality video

[brocktonblockbust]

seeing Max destroy the alltiem great louis-----makes me realize hey! If Conn and Scmeling could whip Louis like that--and if @ Ton Tony could drop Louis---are you telling me Rocky Marciano could do no better than them against Louis? YOu all need to admit this logic.

What you mean in lousis prime? As marciano obviously fought and smashed louis in louis's final fight i think, louis took max for granted and max was a very smart fighter he was not over awed by louis and instead of watching him and thinking woh this guy is unbeatable he watched and saw louise dropped his left alot. Bingo right hand!

yes mate Max was the shit. He made Louis look like a frikkin amateur int hat fight and louis got lucky in the rematch and caught him flush. Max was the shit. Alltime great IMO. Ranked ahead of the K2 thats for damn sure.

Joe Louis learnt from the defeat with Max and starched him in the rematch. Joe had vulnerabilities he was a slow starter and could be out boxed at times but he always got back up and beat you if you were hiding.

yes I agree. Joe was a fast learner. Did starch Max in that rematch. He had alot of anger he said about that fight after getting shellacked and shebanged all night in their 1st match. In that first fight Scmeling was already 31 years old. Amazing guy. Fighting Joe like that when Louis was only 23 maybe.

I say a 29 year old Marciano gives Louis fits. You heard the announcers and the general inside info on Louis was that HE COULD NOT FIGHT CROUCHERS VERY WELL. Two Ton Tony Galento was a croucher and knocked Louis on his ass with a huge left hook, Not to mention landing about a dozen other left hook in the first 4 rounds which visibly SHOOK Joe Louis. I mean VISIBLY SHOOK Joe Louis. Queer Street. Poor 2 Ton just wasnt fast or good enough to finish the job. Louis took a full 60 seconds after the knockdown to get his head clear. Now if Marciano hurt Louis do you really think ol' Rocky would let that bastard off the hook. Rocky was a finisher boy. A Ball n Chain Wrecking Machine.
And he was alot better than Galento. I think we would all agree.... Rock in 14.

Paybacks are a mother-fucker.

Brocktonblockbuster.. Louis broke maxs ribs almost with the first punch he hit him to body, thats why hes trying to hold himself up! I read he screamed so loud half the place heard him. Such a great story in general about these two fighters, very historical because of the war, and later when louis was dead broke max would help him out having invested his money into some drink called coca cola.

[brocktonblockbust]

damn

Louis would have cut and busted up Rocky with precision jabs and stopped him late in the fight with short right hands and left hooks. Joe would have respected Rocky far more than he did two Ton Tony.

I watched the Joe Louis Story from 1953 (Coley Wallace played Joe Louis... Coley of course beat Marciano in the amateurs eh eh).

Louis never took the fight seriously.... he even ate BIRTHDAY CAKE a few weeks before the fight!

[Beanflicker]

Max got the last laugh though, he invested well and lived a great life after boxing... not Joe Louis!

[Domiko]

Joe louis was robbed! He was in the army doing exhibitions and the government taxes the shit out of him even for when he was in the army, its sad but if you dont have a great management team the boxing game will chew u up and spit u out

[El Kabong]

Joe Louis was a great man, the government screwed him over which is how he became broke and stayed broke, a very sad end for a great man. He helped break the color barrier for the PGA tour & refused to hold exhibitions in segregated crowds when he was in the Armed Forces.....great man.


Brockton, Schmelling caught Louis off guard it was a crossroads fight a cagey vet vs a young up & comer and Joe had to learn his lesson.....he didn't lose again until 1950. 12 years of being undefeated. Conn was slick, Marciano was not slick. Two Ton Tony knocked Joe down, but that's it. Joe Louis as old as he was knocked Rocky down, what does that tell you brockton

Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight champion of ALL-TIME bar none...... fucking FACT, end of discussion

How did they screw him over? Not doubting, just curious. From what I read, I thought he made a ton of shitty investments and fell behind on his taxes.

He was in the Army & doing exhibitions and the government wanted their cut afterwards and he never caught back up. A simple Presidential pardon would have helped Joe out plenty but one was never given.

I guess I was thinking about Moore when Rocky was knocked down...eh, what does that tell you about The Rock? Archie was like 85 when they fought.
