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.

You can't talk about him unless you can beat him and it doesn't seem that there's anyone around who can truly beat him.
