    That film of his knockouts was poor quality but it did not hide a few, not just one glaring weakness. When he threw a right, he dropped his left. I'm thinking Ali. He stood on front of some of his opponents with a wide stance that almost looked as wide as a Horse stance in Karate for warmup drills without an opponent in front of you. Wasted movements were made when he was applying the explosive knockout combinations. Good fighters today pivot on the balls of their feet when throwing a hook. He would have been less prone to right hands and Schmeling would not have KO'd him if he was facing him at forty five degree angle and pumped his jab more to confuse the man who knocked him out. He seemed to be a big target and I liked Joe Louis for historical reasons. At least 90% of us weren't born or in some woman's arm being fed breast or bottle. Joe Louis had many flaws and so did the other fighters of his day but that's another story. today's fighters are part of a giant sports evolution, better trainers and better films with better nutrition. Well the rest you guys mentioned like size and strength so I am not going to beat a dead horse..
