heavyweight champion of the wordl... Thanks ! Thanks ! We are simply the best !|
|10/12/03 04:05:39 AM|Massimo|Rome||4||||10|KooKoo-Don't you think that
Joe Louis would beat RoyJones, John Ruiz and James Toney ? I think today he
would be surely a top 5 contender. I think there is very few people today that
could have a chance to beat him ! Maybe Vitali, maybe Lewis, maybe Tua, but just
maybe... Call please the names of the fighters that you think would beat Louis
!|

The contenders of the 70s would be champions today. The champions then
would fight the champions today as tuneups, or hire them for sparring partners.
Same would be true of the all time greats like Louis. Louis would fight
differently today, faster paced, he'd weigh more, be bigger, stronger, but would
finish just as fast. No one could finish better than Louis. I'd say his style
today would resemble that of Roberto Duran.|

You're right ! Louis was hugely skillful, he could throw every punch in
the book and wonderful combinations and he could punchvery hard. I don't
think there are many fighters today that can punch harder than Joe Louis.
Besides that, his left jab was a beaty, the second best ever ( after Liston's).
Now the problem is helping KooKoo to accept this...|

To all of you who have been wondering who this fool is, I can reveal his
identity. The Koo Koo is.....Pee Wee Herman!|

?|
|10/13/03 12:49:13 AM|kookoo|ny||kookooclock000@yahoo.com||||10|i knew that i
would be disagreed with strongly about joe louis losing to todays fighters, but
that is reality! not only fighters but basket ball players, football players,
weightlifters, on and on the list would go. yes if louis were bigger he would be
able to compete, but i looking at him as he was , not as dreamed up to be. i
will admit boxers are way behind as far as skill for their sport compared to
other sports. DO I THE CLOCKMAN THINK ROY JONES WOULD BEAT JOE LOUIS, HELL
YES!!! IF BILLY CONN DID WHAT HE DID TO HIM, WHAT DO YOU THINK JONES WOULD DO.
JOE LOUIS WAS LIKE A POOR DUMB ANIMAL, LOOK MAN, THERES NO WAY. DON'T MAKE ME
SAY MORE BAD THINGS ABOUT LOUIS. koo koo is tired now, time to unwind.|
|10/13/03 03:00:47 AM|Massimo|Rome||8||||10|KooKoo-If being big is so
important, how did Roy Jones achieve his position in the heavyweight
division ? The first fight against Billy Conn was one of Joe Louis's most
disappointing performance, that's true ! That was probably just a bad night ! In
the return match Louis easily defeated Conn. Anyway Louis beat twice easily Abe
Simon that was a huge and very muscular gay. If a fighter can punch hard as
Joe Louis could punch, why do you think being big is so important ? You named
the basketball players... Do you think Shaq would beat Joe Louis in the ring ? |

fighters minus modern training and diet advances (and drugs like steroids) would
physically be just like fighters of past eras. Likewise, old fighters like Louis
would be just as big as the modern ones with the same training and diet (and
drugs). Speed and reflexes remain the same whatever the training and fighters of
past eras were tougher than the present bunch. Referees were less inclined to
stop fights, corners didn't throw the towel in so easily, they fought more
often, and fighters then were prepared to take greater punishment. Height is
another thing that doesn't change with modern training and Tyson has proved that
