Ike Ibeabuchi vs

Jim Jeffries
John L Sullivan
Jack Johnson
Jess Willard
Max Bear
Joe Louis
Max Schmelling

KO's them ALL. No doubt in my mind at all.

 

Good for you.

 

What do YOU think? Please enlighten me. Who out of those black and white stone age boxers beats Ike. WHO?!

 

I'd pick Louis.

 

Would you pick Fred Flinstone over a Navy Seal also?

 

Agreed.

 

I too would pick Louis.

 

I love the way you equate television advances with Boxing improvements ::

 

Lumping Louis in with Sullivan is just asinine.

 

hell, lumping Johnson in there with him is asinine, never mind Louis:l2:

 

70 years on nobody's outright topped Louis in pure punching technique. Every punch in the book, dynamite from any range & in any direction, all in balanced, controlled combinations. That isn't to say the game mightn't have moved on in other ways, but to lump him in with guys from the 1890s who barely knew what a jab was is nutty.

 

Agreed, perfect, crisp punching technique is actually the main reason I'm a Louis fan.

 

Nobody made knocking another guy unconscious so aesthetic.

 

Yup

and, as I said, even Jack Johnson is like willie pep compared with the likes of Corbett and Jeffries
