Luke Campbell is a career loser. A decent enough technical boxer, but pretty damn overrated IMO. While Rolly doesn't have much in the way of...
Self-explanatory. Four notables: 1. Liston. Sonny was 6'0, with an 84 inch reach - the exact same reach as Lennox Lewis. Crazy. 2. Hearns:...
Trinidad was mainly murder at midrange. He wasn't as good at generating power with extremely short shots the way a Louis/Arguello could. I would...
Who wins?
Talk to REED then. He's the one who's interviewed Donald Curry.
Yeah, its not a big difference.
You can cite the style advantage, but Holmes doesn't have an appreciable size edge on Louis - other than reach, as Larry had freakishly long arms...
I would agree that Holmes' best chance of a victory is with Liston. Frazier is too relentless for Holmes, and Louis is too deadly accurate....
My opinion: Louis beats all three, Holmes loses to all three, and Liston-Frazier is perhaps the most 50-50 matchup in heavyweight history.
I love how Louis would constantly turn his opponent once he got them in trouble to create different angles and different combos. More often than...
Who wins the following matchups? Louis-Holmes Louis-Liston Louis-Frazier Frazier-Holmes Frazier-Liston Liston-Holmes
I followed Louis-Braddock up by rewatching Liston-Williams 1. Louis-Liston would be an incredible matchup.
It'd be easier said than done training a guy to punch like Joe Louis i would imagine. It's just as much that he had once in a lifetime talent as...
Let's say they meet circa 1990, when Tapia was in his real physical prime.
I'm actually more excited for Davis-Rolly TBH. I'm not certain Ryan would even beat Rolly.
Yeah, I was able to figure out on Boxrec who it is. 26 wins with 19 KO's, that's a pretty decent KO %.
Prime Oscar would fuck Porter up badly.
Also, ask him who hit harder between Lopez and Bollillo.
Ask him does he think Lopez, if focused, would have had a chance against Oscar and Trinidad.
Here's a good film study on his cross: [MEDIA]
I wonder if there's a film study on Louis' guard manipulation. There was no one better at subtly moving around an opponents guard to land his...
Good observation. I don't think a prime Louis would lose to anybody relative to his size. Meaning that, I would favor him over Frazier, Holy,...
I wonder when the next 1mil buy PPV is gonna be. If Benavidez wasn't such a waste, he could have been a mainstream star by now, then...
Braddock definitely wasn't a hard target, but still, the offensive talent just jumps off the screen. Louis and Arguello were the two most...
Crawford-Porter is gonna do shit numbers. Especially because most people won't buy more than one PPV a month, and of course they're gonna buy a...
You can't possibly throw a right hand better than that.
Basilio was built like a mini-tank. A tank tank, not Tank Davis...
I might rewatch the rematch tonight. Really a savage fight. Duran vs Basilio would have been WWIII.
Louis was a lot quicker on his feet here than he's remembered for. The narrative on Louis is that he had great hand speed, but relatively slow...
