Prime George Foreman vs. Prime Joe Louis.

[El Kabong]

Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight of all time, he would cut Foreman down.

No he is not, he is second to Muhammed Ali, but still do not think he would beat Foreman or even the super heavyweights of today from Lewis, Nose and Vitali. However he is still greater than them for what he acheived in his time period and what was put in front of him.

Make the case for Ali being greater than Joe Louis. I'll make Joe Louis' case, 25 consecutive successful title defenses (the most ever) and that was with him missing 2 entire years of his prime to serve the United States in WW2, and he accomplished all that while having to basically walk a tight rope in the public eye, no pictures with white women, no smiling, no gloating over opponents, and some other crazy ass "rules" his management and society expected him to live by.

Joe Louis had power in both hands, he had a hell of a chin, he had fast hands, ACCURATE punches, he was a master of managing distance, 66 wins 52 KO's and he fought anyone and everyone of the era ducking nobody. He could beat damn near anyone put in front of him.


Who the hell is "Nose"?
