Re: Fight Night Round 4 Final Roster?
Evidently you didn't see how many times Schelmling caught him with the right in the first fight. Forget heart although Joe had plenty. If you only get KOed once (not counting the Marciano mismatch) in a long career by an absolute accumulation of punches you have a very good chin. Heart can't stop unconsciousness.Comment

Re: FN Rd4 FINAL roster...possibly
A prime Riddick Bowe couldn't beat Andrew Golota. (Golota imploded every chance he got). Louis was an all time great. Compare his legacy to Tyson's it's not even close. Tyson was a beast but not a great champion. He had the skills and tools to be an all time great but fell very short of that mark. Remember Tyson's title reign was not very Long, Joe was the champ for a very long time making 25 title defenses. I agree with a previous poster had Joe had the training and of todays fighters He'd be hell on wheels for anyone,Comment

And why was Louis repeatedly getting caught with rights huh huh huh? Defensive boxing was not as advanced back then. He stood in one spot the entire fight!Evidently you didn't see how many times Schelmling caught him with the right in the first fight. Forget heart although Joe had plenty.

Riddick Bowe was out of shape and lazy when he fought Golata. That was clearly a man who got his millions, but didn't have the desire to be great. The Riddick Bowe that Holyfield fought was a beast.A prime Riddick Bowe couldn't beat Andrew Golota. (Golota imploded every chance he got). Louis was an all time great.

You are missing the point. Its not about how great you are and your legacy, it's how u would stand up in a current setting. George Mikan was considered one of the greatest centers ever. Do u honestly think George Mikan would dominate say...a current Jermaine O'Neal?Comment

"There's never been a boxer better than Joe Louis. You'd take one shot from him and you were sure he'd have seven or eight more coming for you. Certainly Muhammad Ali was the greatest man ever to fight, but not the greatest boxer."
-- George Foreman
"He hit me 18 times while I was in the act of falling."
-- Max Baer
"(I define fear as) standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early."
-- Max Baer
"He was a credit to his race – the human race…"
-- Jimmy Cannon, sportswriter
"Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight champion of all time. Rocky Marciano is second only to Louis. Where do I rate Ali? Somewhere below me. I beat him, and if I could beat him, no doubt Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano could have beaten him."
-- Joe Frazier
"I just give lip service to being the greatest. He was the greatest."
-- Muhammad Ali
"When you’re a great finisher, you’ll become popular. Joe Louis was a great finisher."
-- Mike Tyson
"Every time I hear the name Joe Louis my nose starts to bleed."
-- Tommy Farr
"Joe Louis, to me, was the finest human being God put on this earth in every way."
-- Angelo DundeeComment

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Final Roster?
He got caught because he held his left to low. That was a weakness that Schemling's men spotted before the fight. Footwork had nothing to do with it.Comment

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Final Roster?
I understand the point Po Pimp is trying to make, but Joe Louis is the wrong example to use. That dude was a machine, Bowe or RJJ would get dropped by him. If he had that insane physique back then just imagine what shape he'd be in today.
They barely had any padding on their gloves back then man, his chin would be 100+.
anyways i can't wait to use Nonito Donaire and Calzaghe in this game! hopefully he'll be rated better than that blasphymus rating 2k gave him."I'm addicted to Video Games, and i chase it with a little OS." -Winston ChurchillComment

You talking about Calzage? most of 2k's ratings were messed up.I understand the point Po Pimp is trying to make, but Joe Louis is the wrong example to use.

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Final Roster?
I haven't been following this game to much but could someone tell me why Flyod Mayweather is not in the game?
I figured he would be but, he's not. Its a real bummer.Originally posted by WatsonTigerOne out of 7 billion, and we still tagged your ***.Comment

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Final Roster?
See that is why boxing has been on the decline for a decade now. Too many people out for themselves. They put money before good of the overall sport.
I mean come on no Pretty Boy Floyd, no Magic Man, no B-hop, wtf ??????Comment

That's true for athletes in every sport. That's why Couture is not in the UFC game and why Barry Bonds would never be in baseball games. Every sport known to man has these kind of guys.Comment

I can live with them being out of the game.Comment

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Final Roster?
I know he loves money but damn, you would think with his kind of ego that he would love to be in a video game for millions of people including himself to play as. If I had that much money like that i'd do it for free, that includes any sport.
Well still got Tyson and that makes up for Mayweather, B-hop, etc.Originally posted by WatsonTigerOne out of 7 billion, and we still tagged your ***.Comment
