Schemling, John Henry Lewis, Billy Conn 2x, Jersey Joe Walcott (The 2nd time he fought him)
Re: What were Joe Louis' best title defenses?
The first Billy Conn fight for sure, as Louis had to come on to win the fight, behind in points and needing a KO to win. But not the second Louis vs Conn fight, as Conn after 4 years of chips and beer, was just a shell of his former self, and Louis won easy like a walk in the park,not even close.gilgamesh wrote:Schemling, John Henry Lewis, Billy Conn 2x, Jersey Joe Walcott (The 2nd time he fought him)

Max Schmeling, Billy Conn.
To be honest, all of them were magical in their own way. Louis was a genius.
