Rocky Marciano would never have beaten Joe Louis in his prime. Joe was out of boxing, haven’t had a fight in two years, and was pressured by the IRS so much so until he took that fight.

Joe Louis is arguably the GOAT. His record = 69 fights - 66 wins with only 3 losses, all to world champions, 2 after comeback from retirement & one before becoming the champion due to inexperience (which he avenged) with 52 KOs (75%). Was World Heavyweight Champion for 12 years, a record for HW with 26 title fight victories, a record for any division. He fought 8 genuine world champions (unlike the alphabet soup champions of today). No other HWC even comes close to his record.

Louis was great beyond great. That's an understatement. One of the hardest hitters--ever. But to correct one thing. Schmeling wasn't an ardent Nazi. Yes, ol' adolph held him up as a poster boy for the Nazis, but Schmeling was never a believer. Hitler sent Schmeling off to the war in response for his losing the second fight to Louis, or so the articles say. Schmeling and Louis became friends years after the war was over, and Schmeling often slipped Joe money after the IRS took his cash away and left him destitute. Also paid for Louis's funeral.

Larry does have the 2nd most title defenses in a row next to Joe Louis though. he was just as active as Louis, fighting every few months. The only thing that Larry lacked was knockout power. He just couldn't KO guys cold like Louis did. When Larry Ko'ed it was mostly TKO with the guy still conscious or giving up.

[@JamesBondRambo]

Joe Louis was the most powerful and fastest punching heavyweight boxer in ring history. His great hand speed, especially in combination, was awesome to behold. He had a powerful jab, threw every punch perfectly and with wasteless accuracy. His right cross, thrown short and straight, was sheer dynamite. The "Brown Bomber" never ducked anyone as his record 25 title defenses attests to. Of those 25 successful defenses, 21 were won by knockout, 17 of those were ten counts! 5 in the first round! He also knocked out six men who held the Heavyweight Championship of the World. From 1934 to 1949, when he first retired as champion, his record was 60-1 with 51 knockouts. He held the Heavyweight Championship for a record of nearly 12 years.

Great boxer. Decent man. Punished for his kindness. RIP

[@johntaylor-lo8qx]

Louis is a historic man, who we have all benefitted to watch. Tyson took a lot from him. Every peek a boo fighter learned from this man. Heck the Rocky movies took stuff from Louis. This man did everything with upmost dignity, honor, and respect. I'll go as far as to say mankind is better off having Joe Louis. It's terrible how he was left broke 💔 . Amazing fighter, amazing footage, amazing channel, that never disappoints. Bravo 👏, Bravo 👏.

Вот он настоящий и непревойденный ни кем, 1я Легенда Профи бокса с 1934 по 1949 год. 15 лет Царствовал на Профи ринге. Он, который 27 раз отстаивал и защищал титул Чемпиона мира. Одержал победы над целымсозвездием Абсолютных Чемпионов мира таие как Прима Карнера, Джеймс Брэддок, Джек Шарки, Паолино Узкудун, Там и Мауриелло, Бобби Пастора, Макса Бэра, Макса Шмелинга, Артур Годоем, Билли Конном,,, и будущим чемпионом мира Джо, Джерси Уолккота, Джо Луис, провел 71 бой, выйиграл 68, из них нокаутом 54 боя. ПРОИГРАЛ, 3 боя. Является 25 ти кратным чемпионом мира, что является Рекордом и по сей день. Ни одна блять, и ни один козёл, не смог побить этот Рекорд. И вряд ли побьют. Нынешние тяжи, такие как Усик, хуюсик, Деонтей, Тайсон, Джошуа, перед Джо Луис ом выглядят дистрофиками. Даже ушедшие такие как Али, Джо Фрейзер, Тайсон, Льюис, Холлифилд, Муррер, Форман, и другие перед Джо Луис ом это Детский Сад. Проще говоря дети, Кличко вообще не стоял рядом даже, хоть 1вый, хоть 2рой. Так себе Ясли.

Joe Louis treatment is a metaphor for how Black peoples as a whole have treated by America. Propped up. Lied to lied about. Here we are today.The youth are wild created by conditions in America.

Thanks for doing a video on Joe Louis, the greatest of all time. It's unconscionable that the IRS chose to continue to hound him, all the while knowing that he donated that money to the AER. I wonder if they'll ever acknowledge their behavior toward him and pardon his debt.

[@mrmoon1482]

I’ve been a heavyweight boxing fan for many years, I also used to spar a lot as a heavyweight of similar size to joe Louis, I’ve researched heavyweight boxing history and watched 1000s of fights, joe Louis was in my opinion the most complete puncher boxer, he was by far the greatest champ of all time, if I had to pick one fault it would be his loss of focus occasionally in fights, He could switch off mid round sometimes but when fully focused he was unbeatable,

Fun fact: in addition to being a boxing legend, Joe Louis was basically the Jackie Robinson of golf as well.

[@snakevenom4954]

Fun fact. Jackie Robinson and Joe Louis became friends in the military before Robinson became a pro baseball player. So in a way, Joe Louis even had an affect on Baseball

I met Joe Louis in Toledo, OH in 1952 at a park with a golf course. I was 8 yrs. old and went to the concession stand for an ice cream cone. Suddenly, all I could see were mens belt buckles. light bulb cameras going off.I was picked up as if I were as light as a feather, placed on the counter and asked "What would my lady care for? [I looked into the face of a brown man with huge hands, a beautiful smile and sparkling eyes] an ice cream cone sir. He ordered the largest cone I'd ever seen. I thanked him between licks and introduced myself. "Peggy, when your daddy comes home tonight, tell him you met Joe Louis today." I asked him if he knew my dad. "No but he'll know me!" I told him I would. He picked me up, gently lowered me to the ground.The people opened a path for me. As I walked through, I turned and thanked him again. I'll never forget that day, the day I met Joe Louis.

That's so beautiful, I've only met him in my dreams, even in my dreams he beats my ass.

[@rickylozada7994]

I'm not the type to really get too bent out of shape whenever a celebrity dies, let alone someone before my era, but my goodness Joe Louis is the definition of a man's man. Heart of gold, respectable, great manners, and sacrificed everything to make the world a better place. Only to get stabbed in the back. Unbelievable man.. great video Joseph. I'm in disbelief with how good this video was. At the same time, I'm deeply saddened by the sad reality Louis' outcome. What a sweet yet sour story.
