Cool as fuck finally watching that in colour 👌 I've got all the old fights on DVD but obviously in black n white.
Louis (who imo is the greatest ever Heavyweight) was simply relentless and a brilliant "in fighter" with a superb mixture of punches.

Couldn't agree more. It may be purely psychological... but it holds my attention more.

Watching the fight, I get renewed admiration for Louis' tremendous boxing skills. He hit Baer with a vast variety of punches. Beautiful, perfectly timed uppercuts.... lefts.... rights.... just awesome. Baer from what I've read was a fearsome opponent. Powerful, sort of a nasty streak.... not to mention a lot bigger than Louis. Gotta say though.... although it was a KO victory for Louis.... Baer showed some chin in there, as he got hit with some incredible flush shots from the very beginning. The sort of shots that would've laid out most other opponents.

Sometimes we forget about these guys when ranking HW's all time. Glad to see Louis still merits the respect he so richly deserves.

I was trying to find out how much Joe Louis weighed for the fight, think he would have been under 200lb which is just over 14 stones. I think he could live with most heavyweights now, Wilder is not that much heavier.

The super heavyweights may be a different kettle of fish however.
