This is before the Frazier fight.

They were both kind of right. Ali did meet his match a couple times and start collecting L's, but nobody ever did knock him out

Funny how Ali said Joe Louis would never catch him. He must have forgotten how Henry Cooper almost knocked him out, and his corner needed to use smelling salts to revive him :usure:

Good stuff though

Sounds like today's Mayweather fans (Ali) arguing against old heads about the 70's and 80's fighters (Cus).

I'm sorry but Ali would've beaten Joe for all the reasons he said he would. There's another part to this with them slap boxing, that needs to be upped too.
No disrespect to Joe Louis but I agree with this...and Ali's reasons were on point

Calculated and powerful but Louis never saw Ali's speed, much less prime Clay. I want to see that segment too.

I tend to agree with Cus that in a 15 round fight you're not keeping a prime Joe Louis off you...Ali is not dancing around that man for 15 rounds and when he pointed out "I would of grabbed him right there" while watching the Schmeling highlights, Max would of done the same if he knew where the fukk he was...They didn't show the right hand that fukked his equilibrium up...Yea Louis was slow footed but always a step ahead of the other guy because everything Louis did was methodical, he's a thinking mans fighter...Fought tall behind his excellent jab, cut off the ring well and every movement he made was to set up that big right hand and when he landed it nobody in the history of the sport can finish like the Brown Bomber...

All that said...if anyone can survive 15 rounds with Louis, its Ali...so...:yeshrug:

This is a fight I wouldn't bet on...just sit back and enjoy black athletic excellence...:blessed:

He underestimated him in the first fight, the second fight he manhandled him in the clench,, and neutralized him
