The greatest heavyweight champion in boxing history

[@joshuajarod1909]

This should be archived by the Joe Louis Estate. A tremendous in-depth look at one of the greatest and most iconic boxers to ever live. Well done.

[@BoxingLife]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@mrcjrowe]

@@BoxingLife How would Joe Louis do against Mike Tyson if Louis started boxing in the same era as Mike in the 1980s ?

[@BrotherPatriot]

@@mrcjrowe We can only surmise but in my opinion...due to Joe's natural skills, his ability to adapt and his phenomenal ring I.Q...he would have flourished. For myself, I rank Joe as one of the best of all time, if not THE best. Don't forget...Tyson was savage yes, but he also failed & lost heart against the Big Names...Holyfield (x2) and Lennox Lewis (I don't count Buster Douglas). He also lost to some no names...Danny Williams & Kevin McBride (was Tyson's last fight, so understandable). Had the Brown Bomber not been forced out of retirement, his record would have been 56 and 1. But due to what the American government did to him, taxing him for his donations to the Army & Navy Relief Funds...the war effort...the IRS forced Joe from retirement. He still won 8 out of the 10 fights but he wasn't the same man as he was before. All he really had left of his old arsenal was that powerful left jab.

[@Wayf4rer]

To think he had the heart and generosity to donate so much to his country at a time when men were not equal, and then the government went after him for it is completely shameful. I know Joe is looking down with a smile on those who recognize his true legacy as a great boxer, and a great man.

[@BST-lm4po]

And to think that a German (Max Schmeling), who we are taught to despise and who we are taught to paint as racist, not only paid for Joe's funeral but was also a pallbearer. Seems like the "Powers to Be" are full of misinformation & prejudices!

His punch mechanics were perfect ❤

[@paysonfox88]

The reason I think he would beat Muhammad ali. It is because they both have the same hand speed. The difference is, Joe Lewis is punching with a whole lot more power in his fast flurries then Muhammad Ali. His power came from his speed. He was able to use perfect punch mechanics in order to shorten up and accelerate his hands

[@vinniedixon1140]

The GOAT heavyweight. His 25 consecutive defences of the heavyweight title will stand for a very long time & will take one hell of a fighter to beat it.

[@MaddoxGanz]

His control of range, position, and balance is incredible. I will definitely take notes to improve specifically, my control of range, as it can improve a lot.

[@bossplayermfs5972]

To me the great Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight boxer of all times, the man has 25 title defenses and 22 of them were won by KO’s. He held the title for 12 years and the during his time in the military he fought over a 100 exhibition bouts people are entitled to believe, feel, or think whatever they want to but i‘ll take any day a resume of a man like the great Joe Louis over any other heavyweight fighter. Ring Magazine rated him as number one of the greatest punchers of all time the International Boxing Organization proved to scientific studies that Louis is the best heavyweight of all times. Big George Foreman did a top ten greatest heavyweights of all time and Louis was his number one and even told Max Kellerman that in a interview it’s extremely sad and disrespectful that this great man is even mentioned as much as an Ali who made it possible for Ali to danced around the ring and talk crazy to his opponents and what he meant to BP in that dangerous and tougher “Great Depression “ era rest in power Mr. Joseph Louis Barrow #BrownBomber #Goat #HeavyweightKing 🐐 🥊 🥊 👑.

​@@glynhannaford7332 There is no debate imo. Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. Rocky Marciano retired after only 6 or 7 heavyweight title defenses.

That was largely his greatness.

His right cross in particular is something to be admired. I have tried (and still do try) to teach myself how to do it the way he does but to no avail, lol. I think it’s almost like throwing a shotput or tennis ball or baseball but not quite.

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

I think he explains the way to do it in his boxing book

[@whatthatguysays7357]

Here's a few ways to help that right hand come out straight. Think about pulling your opposite shoulder back, first of all.. keeping ur lead hand at your chin. Think putting a cigarette butt out with your rear foot, pivoting will give your hips the twist they need to deliver torque. Stand beside a wall with your right shoulder almost touching it, throw the punch.. that'll train your elbow not to flare out, you can do the same for the jab. Avoid energy "leaks" and keep the full force traveling forward not out.

[@jk28416]

i spent a couple of winters with a log fire in Norway, I chopped all the wood with an axe. Definitely the most physically demanding thing I've ever done. You chop a wedge, left side then right side then you are through the log, the 'hammer tire' thing doesn't really catch the intensity of log chopping. You soon learn that power has to come from the toes and be delivered by the core, quite amusing to be in the back garden -10 deg C with your shirt off because your sweating like a work horse!

[@chadwithautism]

Looking at his footwork it's very interesting how somatotypes, limb length etc. go in relation with how fighters can change subtleties in the ring and create opportunities for themselves. Sometimes I feel that it's beneficial to tear down and rebuild the fundamentals just a little. Reluctance can be sort of a double edged sword.

[@mattjeffsdpt]

This was a great, loving tribute. Thank you for putting in the work to make it - and putting it together. Joe Louis was my late father's era - who was himself a boxer and fighter, too. He told me about Joe Louis in reverent tones. Now - I see why. I only wish he was still around, so I might watch it with him - and watch his eyes light up again - as he described a cultural hero from the WWII era.

Ray Robinson gave his prediction on Louis vs Ali/clay in his autobiography. In his mind Ali’s rope a dope style would result in Ali arms being broken vs Joe. The Cassius clay style would be better off. However Joe would eventually catch up to Cassius and stop him late in the fight. Just the Greatest Pound 4 Pound fighter’s analysis. 🐐

Joe Louis was SRR’s idol he met Joe when he was 10 years old and Joe was 17 years old.

[@surfghost9121]

Fantastic doc. Thanks for creating this. Joe Louis was the most consistently perfect boxer ever, hands down. He didn't waste a step or a punch. A cold, calculating knockout machine. Loved the heavy bag spot. Small bag for a hw, and that right hand to the body - sheesh. Imho the second Schmeling fight is the most important in boxing history, followed by Johnson/Burns and Clay/Liston.

[@stat-x]

First fight against Frazier was Ali's biggest fight. And Foreman vs. Ali is also historically bigger than his fights vs. Liston.

[@surfghost9121]

@@stat-x I think historically, Liston was Ali's biggest fight. The effects, like Louis/Schmeling, Johnson/Burns, went way beyond the sport of boxing. Clay was given no chance, Liston was considered unbeatable. One of the divisions biggest upsets ever, and began the Ali era. It was when Ali announced his conversion to Islam, which led to his renunciation of Vietnam and gave great momentum to the Black Power movement of the 60s. Frazier and Foreman were big wins for his boxing legacy and career, but the Ali saga, imho, starts with Liston.

[@stat-x]

@@surfghost9121 yea but the fight between Ali and Frazier was promoted as the fight of the century. People who were adults back then say that it was the biggest sports event up until that point... Undefeated vs undefeated. Ali was also given no chance against Big George Foreman, who was not only considered unbeatable, but also 5x stronger than Sonny Liston. People were concern about Ali's life going into the fight. And the result was shocking... It literally changed how people look back at the 1970s era of heavyweight boxing.

Great video coverage of Joe Louis's training. Here I want to add another part of his training outside the boxing ring not covered, and that he used Charles Atlas's muscle training program called 'dynamic Tension', which has it's sources of inspiration form isometric exercises and old school strongmen in circuses bending iron rods and doing ridiculous feats of strength. IMO, part of Joe Louis's strength is less part training the techniques, but more in part training his mind muscle connection for those very powerful hits. If you look through the Dynamic Tension program, some of the movement patterns and positions that strengthens the muscles are similar and transferable to boxing movements, which IMO contributed more to the heavy impacts he can do besides the muscle coordination training he does for boxing.

Because Louis didn't fix his problem with leaving his jaw open, Schmeling was able to land his overhand right over 100 times. It's hard for anyone to take all that in such condition, especially when you don't see the punch. So Louis definitely had a great chin. Abe Simon and the Baer Brothers tested it very well, among many others.

Plus 19 rounds in 2 fights with the massive Abe Simon, after getting staggered by Tony Galento (who had 57 ko wins). He had 26 total rounds with Jersey Joe Walcott. He went the 15-round distance with Ezzard Charles in his first fight after retirement. And then in his very last fight against a prime Rocky Marciano with his own insane ko rate, Louis suffered only his 2nd ko in 69 fights. If that doesn't show a great chin to you, then please tell me who was tested better. I'm sure there are a few, but not many.
