  It's not just power but balance that puts you in position to throw one punch after another in combination . Joe Louis had a combination of power , speed and balance that made him one of the best boxer-punchers in boxing history . 🏆🏆

  Max Baer said "Fear is looking across the ring at Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early"

  Joe Louis was probably one of the pioneers of modern boxing. The way he moved and threw punches in beautiful combinations, was probably studied by every trainer and boxer after him. The guy was definitely ahead of his time. I heard a lot about him and read a lot of amazing comments on those "The Ring" magazines I used to buy back in the mid-70s. But now, watching this video, I understand why he was praised as one of the best heavyweights of all times. The guy had it all: technique, punching power, and humility. Thank you for posting this awesome video. R.I.P. Champ!

  The American establishment should have hung its head in shame for the way they treated Joe Louis.

  Max Baer was a pure slugger. To say his boxing skills were weak is a gross understatement, as evidenced by Braddock’s and Louis’ decisive victories.

  Met Max Baer many years ago when I was working at a car wash in Sacramento during the summer.  He was one of the nicest people I've ever met.  Very friendly; made me feel good.  Have never forgotten him.
