Joe Louis single handedly dismantled the Nazi image of invincibility and was the youngest heavyweight champ ever. So there is not a big surprise that a green fighter like louis would have flaws in his techinque ...to bad he didnt have the luxury of picking easier fights til he was ready for world class competition.

Also "When Schmeling arrived in New York in June, 1938 for the rematch, he was accompanied by a Nazi party publicist who issued statements that a black man could not defeat Schmeling, and that when Schmeling won, his prize money would be used to build tanks in Germany. Schmeling's hotel was picketed by anti-Nazi protesters in the days before the fight".[45] (wikipedia) Nazi got what he deserved in the rematch

@djk28161 I am assuming your not a racist piece of crap, but from your tone you most likely are one, yet here are more points as to why max is no where near in joe's league. Max was world HW champ for 2 years during a time (1930) when the greatest fighters could not compete and never was able to obtain the belt during integration, on the otherhand Joe lewis taking all comers literally (bum of the week club) held on to the world HW belt for 12years.

1# this is not a championship
2# Joe destroyed him in the rematch, so much so, no one could ever say Max in in the same calibur of a Joe Louis.
