Joe Louis himself said to Conn..when Conn said you could've let me win and I'd given you a rematch.
To which Joe Louis responded, why? You had the belt for 13 rounds.
So yes it is laughable that you give credit to Joe Louis a few posts before, then when I talk of a fighter who boxed him well until the KO...you down that fighter as a bum and said my post became undreadable, well no problem I like most here feel similar about your posts
Let me elaborate.. OF all the HW champs pre 80's, ONLY Joe Louis beat mention-worthy giants! Like Primo Carnera who had a good record. All the big fighters that say MArciano etc beat were ALL BUMS.
And you respond by mentioning Billy Conn vs Joe Louis, 2 Cruisers in cruiser fights as a proof of giant beating? Not sold! LOL
And I didn't argue with mere weight (although that is a large part of it) but also the overall quality at 3 different levels (boxer in question, their opponents and their opponents opponents).
