Why Tommy Farr and Max Baer did not had rematches with Louis?
Louis had problems beating Tommy Farr, he never gave him a second chance. Max Baer was supposed to had the rematch in september 1940 after beating Tony Galento. What happened?

Well Farr stayed in the us and had some high profile fights but lost them - close one with Braddock and then was knocked down a couple of times by Baer. Nova beat Farr and Baer. Guess that's why he got a shot?

This. And I can't imagine Baer would have been thrilled to rematch Louis, except for the payday.cfang wrote:Well Farr stayed in the us and had some high profile fights but lost them - close one with Braddock and then was knocked down a couple of times by Baer.

Baer was badly routed by Louis...taking the count on his knee in the 4th... And he had a few problems with Lou Nova...
Farr had 24 losses when he fought Louis... and then he lost his next 4 fights after he lost to Louis... bringing his losing streak to 5.
