Joe Louis'?

Post by NYDominican »

1. When would you say that it was Joe Louis' prime? From August, 1936 till around May, 1941?




2. What would you say was Joe's finest performance in the ring?


Was it Joe Louis' performance against Max Schmeling on June 22, 1938?

1. Yes. His prime was from 1935-42. Before entering the draft for WWII.

2. Against Max Schmeling. It was one of all time greatest boxing performances

1. Hard to say. He had some of his best performances in 1935 which was before the first Schmeling fight.
2. Several to pick from. He thought his best was against Max Baer in 1935.
