Excellent video.  I'm proud to be one of the few who puts Joe Louis over Ali when it comes to best heavyweights in the history of Boxing.

You should be proud, Joe Louis made more title defenses than any champion in any dividsion, and held the title longer than any champion in any divison ever! That something Ali never did, nor even came close to doing. Oh yeah as far as the bum of the month club? Louis NEVER got beat by someone with only 7 pro fights! what more do you need to say? Joe Louis without a doubt better than Ali.

The big problem with yours,or any anyones' argument that Ali was better than Louis is that you ignore one simple fact...ALi was always open for a hit as well and got nailed many times in his career. Joe had the punch of Foreman,,,,BUT AT TWICE THE SPEED. ALi would have been horsemeat in 5 rounds.

@eldiceuf absolutely the BEST!

@CoffeeBeatsTea True, it is possible that Louis could beat prime Ali in a series of fights. Louis said that he wouldn't have been able to box Ali, he would have to get him on the ropes (Frazier/Norton). And, he could give Ali trouble of style like Doug Jones and Norton. But, Norton and Frazier were being dominated by Ali when he danced, and never caught him on the ropes when he did that. Louis had trouble with movers, and Ali had stamina enough in the 60's. But Norton is no Louis

@carmodifire it wouldn't have been impossible. Ali's guard has never been that good and he never brought his left hand back up high enough after he jabbed. Ali was too open sometimes and Joe would have made him pay for that. If these two fought 20 times I wouldn't be surprised if they won 10 each or 11-9

[carmodifire]

Ha, Ali was untouchable in '67. But Louis might beat a 70's Ali. Not a '67 one.

wow it is interesting to how prefight was kinda cordial till Ali came and shook things up

[joeberger]

@scatystel Tyson was great at using Floyd Patterson's style but fought a lot of shitcans and looked good beating them, and lost to fighters you just don't lose to when you're considred "champ" . Bottom line..the heavyweights of the past were lighter then Tyson's era, so comparing them is a retarded argument.

@travisemtsis LMAO, Oh how wrong you are. I agree that Joe Louis definetly was a much more powerful puncher, infact the Greatest Puncher of all time. There is no way in hell that he is faster than Muhammad Ali. Ali was definetly faster on his feet(about 10 times faster, lol) moving at the speed of a welter weight. His handspeed was also clearly faster. There were times he through punches that hit the target quicker than .05 of a sec. Ali was so quick that he turned wrong to right.

This guy was great, if Sugar Ray Robinson...... SUGAR RAY ROBINSON looked up to you, then I guess u can feel really good about yourself. He might even rival Ali's greatness.

Joe Louis was rated as the greatest of all time heavyweights by the IBRO, a group of historians and boxing experts who all know infinitely more about Louis and boxing than the Ali fanatics who think a prime Ali could destroy Louis. Eddie Futch also says Louis would beat Ali. Louis was the perfect fighter.
