Poll query "Better Boxer"?

Has to be Louis, Rocky was a slugger with limited boxing skills. Louis had a great jab good foot work, all things needed to be a "boxer".

Marciano took one to give one. He had a solid chin and a lot of heart but he was no "boxer".

He beeeat Joe Looouis' ass!

He beat a over the hill back from the war, retired needing money Joe Louis. I heard that fight and was in tears after Louis lost.

Louis 69 - 3 57 KO's.

Marciano 49 - 0 43 KO's

Louis had more KO's that Marciano had fights.

Yeah I heard Joe Louis was either 75, 76... or 137 years old. A hundred and thirty-seven years old!

The poll is "Better Boxer". Marciao's claim to fame was being undefeated. Louis was the "Better Boxer". He had the footwork, jab, strong left and right hands, he too was more the technician.

Marciano was undefeated, Louis was the "Better Boxer"

Again Louis had more KO's than Rocky had fights.
