@mitter Ali has one of the GOAT chins and recovery abilities, amongst other things

Yes, true. But he had some weaknesses, and Eddie Futch's fighters (Frazier and Norton) were able to exploit them to find openings. Joe Louis was a much better, more explosive puncher than Frazier or Norton, and he might have KOed Ali if he found the same openings.

Prime Joe Louis had the footwork, handspeed and power to get Ali out of there, if not win by decision. One of the goat left hooks as well which was Ali's kryptonite

:wow:The other day in History class, we watched a documentary on Joe Louis.... Very interesting shyt.








I was legit like :ohhh:the whole time. The nikka was ill.







:snoop:Damn shame how they turned on him...







:jbhmm:I was wondering who was better? Also, who made a bigger social impact on America?









:myman: Let's talk on it, brehs.

@KnickstapeCity you know you my boy so no offense, but Ali would've beat Joe Louis

and Ali had waaaaay more of a social impact than Joe, Ali was a global icon who wanted to lift other Black
