Joe Louis - Was an American professional boxer who competed from 1934 to 1951. Nicknamed "The Brown Bomber", Louis is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential boxers of all time. He reigned as the world Heavyweight champion from 1937 until his temporary retirement in 1949. He was victorious in 25 consecutive title defenses, a record for all weight classes. He has the longest single reign as champion of any boxer in history. Louis's cultural impact was felt well outside the ring. He is widely regarded as the first African-American to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States and was also a focal point of anti-Nazi sentiment leading up to and during World War II because of his historic rematch with German boxer Max Schmeling in 1938. He retired with an incredible record of 66-3 (52 KO's).

Happy holidays everyone! This will probably be my last video of the year but I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who watches and enjoys my content, this channel has grown so much in the last 3 years - the ultimate goal has always been 100,000 subscribers so if we could reach that in 2021 then that would be a dream come true! Anyway I hope you all enjoy this new highlight of the legendary Joe Louis' jab and left hooks. www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
Great vid, ma boy. Great music choice too. Hope the shares are rackin up the sub counts, they should be.. Best fight vids on UA-cam, period. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
What's the name of the background music.?
A real boxer.
You would have already reached it if boxing was such a niche sport. Pure quality content👌
A great start to the holidays and the end of another year, good tidings my friend and love to the family ...x
Tremendous ability and a natural fighter with both left and right.
If you watch closely you notice every effort is calculated enough for an impact on his opponent... cool calm and delivered in style... definitely class.
Many thanks again for the great fun you give and your knowledge of a history that we’ve only really discovered in brief. Everyone who participates in boxing has guts and belief in themselves and that’s what makes the start of a legend????
Incredible punching technique and accuracy. Stand still in front of him for a second and pain is on its way.
Joe Louis is in a class of his own. In my opinion one of the prettiest fighters too watch because his so methodical and fluent in his movements. Will always be my favorite fighter of all time.
Masterful perry too! I've always admired his defensive capabilities and his power!
He was so good it looks choreographed.
Great Highlight! Joe is underrated by too many.
Dynamite powered jab and one-two combo. If you fought against Louis, you knew it was coming and you could not stop it.
Was he left handed
@@sophiawoods6748i dunno, his right hand also evaporates jaws
0:59 he just went southpaw to land left hand counter brilliant & subtle 👏
ahead of his time, great champion, the brown bomber!
Hands down, one of the best highlight reels I've seen of Joe Louis...EVERYTHING off the jab, everything...so fluid. What a treat. Thank you. Have a Merry Christmas. 🥊
His movement is so minimalist but highly technical and crafty
That not a good thing shows weak his era was
@@surveying482 His era was not weak in the slightest. This is a baseless argument that only serves to undermine Joe's greatness. Joe destroyed world champions. He is the best.
His style is beautiful to watch.
Sort of like GGG
@@dareebenezer7 I can definitely see GGG here with the way he perry's the jab, and overall offensive weaponry. Good eye.
When u weigh everything both in & out the ring along with what this man meant to this country...Joe Louis really was the greatest ever.
HAIL TOO THE haNZA. There is no one who does this better, facts. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Faxxxx
Except for maybe Reznick but he's been inactive of late.
We need a comeback lol
@@ReservoirPunk chill man we need good vibes on this page
@@kazzooghalian4309 What are you talking about? What was negative about what I said? Lmao.
@@ReservoirPunk you're entitled to an opinion... even if it wrong 😆😆😆😆
The greatest heavyweight of all time
After Ali
@@hueyfreeman1983 lol figured a bum like you would come saying this
@@calamitas5363 It's an opinion, chill. They is a case for both Louis and Ali to be the greatest
@@Boom-tq8ct I think every great Heavyweight has guys they would lose to guys they would beat. For me I think Ali beats Joe, however I think there are guys that could beat Ali that Louis would knock out.
@@marvingardens I agree, Boxing is like Rock, Paper and Scissors. Ali struggled with Frazier however he beat Foreman moderately comfortably, when Foreman dismantled Frazier.
Fantastic short accurate punches. This man was so ahead of his time, amazing
These old timers have grounded power in there shots. They hit really hard
My favorite boxer of all time
this guy was a boxing machine
Joe Louis is my favorite boxer Blackburn done a tremendous job at helping Louis develop that left hand, my opinion he’s the greatest hw of all times. Good job Hanzagod on this excellent video and happy new year 🎆.
100 ! Prime 1937-1942 Joe Louis is the Goat
His legs! So much power.
0:23 damn!!!! He took that shot quite well.
people were just built different back then lol
@@shaunfyfe5538 Back then he wouldn't be a champion that's for sure.
Trainers and boxers back then combated so much often and had to be in such a condition that a one-trick pony like Wilder would just not be able to keep up with.
0:59 he just went southpaw to land left hand counter brilliant & subtle
@@shaunfyfe5538 And all of them falled to Louis at the end of the day.
I guess the point was that even with all the help the promoters get you, it can only get you so far against good opposition.
Max Schmeling?
One of the Greatest just Beautiful watching him!!
The most fitting music chosen, as always
Magnificent video. As always Hanza, you nail it with the music and highlights. Joe Louis is a joy to watch, with the combinations, hand speed and devastating power. Just brilliant 👍👍
Everytime I see one of your videos I'm reminded that there's still so much about boxing that I have yet to discover. Also, your music selection is top-shelf.
I love that inside slip at 1:00 and how he rides it for a sec and counters, so sweet
Held the belt for eleven years, man. A decade and a year. Who does that these days? Defended it 25 times, I think. Legendary.
He was too dominant for his era, there wasn't anyone close to his level. Would've loved to have seen him and Marciano go at it in their primes
Wladimir K done it. Well not 25 times but about a decade
@@Infam0usKiller Good point. But if memory serves, I think Klitschko lost and then regained the title? Whereas Louis did it 11 years straight. I could be wrong. Thanks!
@@Infam0usKiller Wlad was champion for 9 straight years, not exactly a decade but close
cris lim Louis actually held the title for 12 years 1937-1949 and the wonderful thing about his 25 titles defenses is 22 of them were KO’s it’s just disappointing and shameful that he doesn’t get the respect that he well deserves.
MASTERPIECE! Hanza please keep on doing videos!
You're the best keep making them !!!!!
I watch a Hanzagod vid at least once a day and they never fail to impress. ✌️ From Wolverhampton UK
Joe Louis' left hand is often overlooked
Until liston came around, they said Joe Louis had the best jab in boxing.
This channel helped me get into boxing and although im not a professional fighter yet. When i do become one ima give this channel a shoutout
All the best on your journey to becoming a pro ✌️
Heavyweight G.O.D
he would not be a heavyweight if he fought right now he was more in the cruiserweight zone he only weigh 201⅘lbs while modern day heavyweight weigh 210lbs
Could've put on 10lbs.. he is bigger then mike tyson
@@evanderholyfield9206 Joe Louis at his best (Baer 2, Simons 2) weighed 208 lbs. And size wouldn't be an issue for him as he proved it repeatedly by demolishing much bigger men.
Amazing thanks hanzagod!
You can see how future greats like Roy Jones Jr and Canelo Alvarez were influenced by The Brown Bomber. Joe was the guy who showed them how to turn a left jab into a left hook mid punch. Thing of beauty.
No the person who regularly changed his jab into a beautiful hook was sugar ray Robinson
Hey dude. A lot of armchair experts disagree with you on various factors. They are up front with their opinions that both Ali and Louis would be killed in 1 round by Mike Tyson.
Ali was an artist whose style has inspired future generations of boxers but will never be equaled. Louis was the greatest technician and I have yet to see his equal among the heavyweights. Tyson was talented but was a one trick pony. Take away his trick and he had nothing to offer.
I refuse to allow the histories of Louis or Ali to be insulted by anyone. They were true giants of boxing and should be treated with utmost respect. Take care dude.
@@vincentfisher1603 while i do agree with you that tyson wouldnt ko both ali and louis in 1.
To call tyson a one trick pony is ridiculous.
@@colorado2455 Really? Take away his bout with Botha and one finds Mike never came from behind adversity and won. Mike is an all time great but he had to be a front runner. Examine his record.
@@vincentfisher1603 in all of his losses he was past prime.
Just look for breakdowns of tyson and u you will find out he had many tricks.
He did win by ko against buster mathis jr. And i think he was behind score cards.
sublime, masterful technique.
And here people where Sonny Liston got his inspiration about his jab.
Where Liston got his inspiration to murder people in the ring?
@@BadselS His father abused him so that's where Liston got his murder everyone mentality from.
No doubt about it Sonny Liston admired Joe Louis. People say that Larry Holmes had the best jab but that’s very debatable I’d say Louis and Liston jab was more potent than Holmes.
@@bossplayermfs5972 It's hard to choose you have Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis, Sonny Liston. Can't forget Joe Louis,Muhammad Ali, and(I have no idea who to mentioned).
@@bossplayermfs5972 Both Holmes and Mike Tyson have, in the past, said things in that they do not regard Louis as good as they were. I disagree with them.
What made joe so deadly is that he never smothered his attack he was always in perfect distance absolute beauty.
A Master of Boxing
My favourite hw of all time. So ahead of his time
great as always, hanza
This is beautiful.. how do you not have more subs
Perfect fundamentals for learning and training. It all start and end with the hips turn.
nice video man
love the content keep it up
Great jab
It's crazy how good Joe Louis was.
The power of that left hook/ uppercut that took tubby Tony galento off his feet must have been immense
Thanks for this program I think Joe Louis is the best heavyweight boxer in history His style of moving in the ring and his defense are very good His movements are fast and he has very powerful strikes In his time, he managed to defeat huge and powerful boxers So I consider him the strongest boxer and I hang his picture on the wall inside my gym.
He didn’t face better competition Ali to ever be put ahead of him. Also foreman is easily better and also faced better competition. Name me 1 fighter Louis fought that was better than joe Frazier. Competition> titles everytime. He was in a weaker HW era and got koed by max who? A journeyman
@@surveying482 Get out of here troll, you then wrote the same baseless comments over and over again in each person’s comment saying something ignorant about the great Joe Louis. Go get some help dude.
@@surveying482 you obsessed with Joe Louis huh? Lmao
@@surveying482 I'll name you a fighter in the ballpark of Frazier that Louis beat: Jersey Joe Walcott.
He also beat several world champions so his record is solid.
The best jab ever.....The best period !
Easily sonny Liston has the best jab ever.
The best 2-handed puncher...EVER.
Great vid👍
One of the greatest heavyweights ever no doubt most title defences of all time
Weaker HW era that’s why
@@surveying482 weaker era maybe doesn’t change the fact he has the most title defences ever
@@Beast12 still weaker era name me 3 all time great HWs he beat? Ali is far FAR superior. Foreman is the also the 2nd best HW ever.
@@surveying482 I never said Ali wasn’t superior. I think Ali is the greatest heavyweight ever but I think joe Louis is also one of the greatest 25 title defences says so
@@surveying482 Forman HAD NO ACCURACY LOL
The GOAT!! 12 year reign as heavyweight champ, 25 title defenses and knocked out Schmeling in 1 round the greatest sports moment in history.
Goat of what?
Yea he reigned over a weak HW division. You think he would spend 5 years as champ in the golden era of HWs the 60-70s? Schelmimg fight is overhyped because of then tension between US n Germany. Realistically schmelimg isn’t a all time great HW or even a great HW. Keep in mind he did lose the first fight too
@@surveying482 yeah he would’ve been champ in the 60’s and 70’s. He was the only one as athletic as Ali and was a more devastating puncher.
@@ryansawyer2204 he was no where near athletic as Ali his is slow compared to Ali what video were u watching. He never let his hands go and fought in a weak era. Foreman was a better HW easily. Way bigger puncher better chin never koed better jab better defense. Just look at his joe Louis opponents they look lost they just stand still and let him hit them? they have no defense abilities. Louis isn’t even close to Ali his resume can’t compare. Name me 2 All time great HWs Louis defeated. He lost to Ezzard Charles who wasn’t even a natural HW. He really shoulda lost to Jersey Joe too. Rocky I’ll give him a pass he was mad old by then
@@ryansawyer2204 all joe Louis had on Ali was punching power. Better defense Ali Faster Ali better chin Ali better movement Ali Better Jab is debatable better combination puncher Ali
What a master
That right uppercut-left hook combination 🥺
He could do it all and do it all well. Combos , speed ,explosive power , footwork , controlled aggression, hooks , uppercuts. The lot. And not to forget his footwork . Masterful. There was nothing fancy about the brown bomber he was just pure workmanlike destruction .
Absolutely! Perfectly said
Marvellous economy of movement.
Fought on the back foot so so well!
this man... a fucking legend and everybody who knows of him knows this.
“Joe louis is 137 years old” Eddie Murphy
Goat
He had deceptive footwork
My favorite heavyweight, him and Ali
Marciano said Joe had the best jab he ever saw. And that was at the end of Joe's career.
Very underrated jab for sure.
Well the great Joe Louis did opened up a cut on Marciano's eye with his jab in their fight and he was a old man at that.
GOAT
I see a lot of similarities between Louis and R. Robinson. Similar perry/block while feinting and throwing the jab, dip low feint left hook to the body, but throw at the head, and straight right cross. Louis' probing/fencing jab was also similar to Bernard Hopkin's jab. Great talent and skills displayed here.
Robinson trained with Louis, it would probably explain their similarities.
Measure his left hand Jazz really good where he dodges
Most complete heavyweight ever for me...
Lmfao
@@surveying482 whos yours?
He didn’t face better competition Ali to ever be put ahead of him. Also foreman is easily better and also faced better competition. Name me 1 fighter Louis fought that was better than joe Frazier. Competition> titles everytime. He was in a weaker HW era and got koed by max who? A journeyman
@@markdavies2662 well you are Delusional then. Ali is by far the best Heavyweight ever. He beat ever single great HW of his era basically, stArted boxing in 1960 professionally and didn’t lose at all in the entire 60s. Patterson Archie Moore sonny Liston foreman shavers Norton ron lyle big cat Williams doug Jones joe Frazier nobody in the HW division can compete with that resume. No HW has even 50% of his resume. #1 boxer of all time too
@@surveying482 Ali had a better resume,yes,and probably beats Louis,but as a boxer/puncher i think Louis was more complete
Nice!
How about a video on Wladimir Klitschko?
I agree Wlad needs some love too. Guy held the unified heavyweight championship even longer than Joe Louis. Don't care if it was a weak era. That's impressive for any generation.
How about you go make your own video on Bitchsko instead.
@@DepressionShaman No he did not held the time longer than Louis hell he didn’t even hold the title longer than Larry Holmes where do yall get all of these lies from?
Where can I find a boxing genius like Blackburn, are there even any left?
Not to that level. There used to be plenty of throwback coaches back in the Golden Age 1910's - 1950's, but everything's been slowly declining since then.
@@TainoMantis I believe Al Mitchell would be a good candidate since Mitchell was around the 50s.
There will never be another Jack Blackburn bro, you got to understand he came along at a times were boxing very very brutal you talking 30 rounds fights or more and he was the 3rd greatest lightweight fighter of all time and most certainly the best boxing trainer of all times and Mike Tyson’s late trainer Cus D’Mato even said it. You ain’t no trainer here in the present day a 1/3 of the knowledge that Blackburn had. Joe Louis was his masterpiece, 25 title defenses 22 of them were KOs 12 years on top as heavyweight champion which rated number three on the masculinity scale for men behind a military general and the POTUS. Joe Louis has a book called “How To Box” you might wanna purchase it and can most definitely help you out 💯.
@@bossplayermfs5972 does joe louis book how to box help be similar to his style?
@@EwFatppl No, he teaches how to properly throw punches with your entire weight behind, he also teaches how to stay on balance, footwork, and defensive methods. In order to learn Joe’s style you have to find a great trainer that understands it which is not going to be easy.
GOOD VIDEO !!
Great video, a sugar ray robinson jab video would be epic
Damn 😱 00:22
Louis had both the greatest left jab and the greatest left hook in boxing history. He is simply the greatest of all time.
Range finder & a detonator.🍺
Ali would say Joe Louis was slow. But that was not the case at all, Louis had timing and controlling the pace of a exchange. Bad intentions on his combination.
Slow feet, that’s probably it..
@@GodsonFPS yea,.. or at least it appeared slow. I think Louis had very good spatial awareness when closing the gap with his feet.
Joe Louis wasn’t slow the poor film quality from back in the day appeared that way but for those who actually saw him fight in person will tell you that he wasn’t slow. He had very quick hands which came from his trainer the great Jack Blackburn who had Louis catch flies with his hands to improve his hand speed. And as far as footwork he was never out of position always balanced to deliver those 💣 shots of his. Ali was just saying that to argue with Cus D’Mato but Joe Louis was taught to take his time and not rush cause just like he said one of the best quotes that you’ll ever hear in you life “You can run, but you can’t hide!” 🎤 drop.
Very underrated jabber. Perhaps because his jabs wasn't as flashy as Ali or Holmes.
The greatest heavyweight that ever lived
Nope wasn’t better than Ali or foreman. You could even said Frazier was better
@@surveying482 Yes he is go troll someplace else.
Joe Luis is great. I’ve been trying to emulate his short left hook but it isn’t easy.
He wrote about how and when he likes to do it in his book "How to Box"
It's expensive and hard to find, but there's a guy online who wrote multiple articles breaking down and explaining each chapter with written and video examples from Louis's fights.
I can't copy the link or I'd post it here, but a quick Google Search of "How to Box by Joe Louis: the Foundation of Skill" should help you find it.
Top 2 na minha lista
You should do one about his infighting.
The two dislikes make no sense
Joe Louis had big claws for arms
He beat the shit outta one of my favourites in Max Baer!!
1:58 Man threw 5 left hooks straight until his man fell
Could they take the old footage and remaster them in 4k like they do with old movies?
Depends on the footage. A lot of this is very high quality for 30's and 40's.
Its almost like negotiation rather than speed and athleticism..
I debated with my friend I personally believe Joe Louis would KO Tyson Fury
Joe always struggled with fast moving boxers. Plus Fury has a huge size advantage plus reach advantage. No disrespect to the great Joe Louis, but he would not win.
@@jimnoexist Joe actually done better against larger opponents and Tyson performs worse against smaller boxers (Steve Cunningham) power is power doesnt matter how big Tyson is if he gets a right on the chin hes going down, Joe chips away at the giant with clubbing power shots in combination , not to mention Joe is unbreakable mentally, Tysons mind games would fall short. Also height and reach advantages dissipate against experienced fighters (Look at Canelo Smith from the weekend)
@@jimnoexist Prime 4 Prime, I think Joe Louis would be bad news for Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury isn't anywhere near Ezzard Charles in terms of punch theory...and while his size will protect him from a lot of Louis's power - it's also going to keep him from evading one of the most relentless boxer-punchers the sport has ever seen. Louis could cut the ring and had vicious body attacks. He was also a master at making himself hard to reach (due to that bladed stance and extreme outside slip + parry)...which is gonna make Fury miss everything besides a flick jab. Louis actually said he struggled most versus pressuring in-fighters above other styles.
Nah man, I'm a huge Joe Louis fan but Louis's prime weight was around 200-205 lbs and he struggled against quick movers
@what. nbba You can't compare Carnera and Buddy Baer to Tyson Fury
The real bronze bomber
Brown
I get what you're saying, but those in the know appreciate the fact that Deontay Wilder should never be mentioned in the same sentence with Joe Louis.
@@DepressionShaman 100%
@@DepressionShaman Why not? Both are heavyweight world champions. Don't talk like Wilder is some bum
@@brocksimmons345 Wilder IS a bum. Tyson Fury was the only top ten ranked heavyweight he fought. The only reason he took the fight was because Fury was coming off a two year layoff and was fighting mental health/drug addiction. Wilder thought this was a good cherry pick. He could get a big name on his resume while they were vulnerable AND have a legit claim as the lineal champion. That last part is important because Wilder is a paper champion who never beat a world champion. He never won the belt from Vitali Klitschko. The belt was vacated after Vitali's retirement. Wilder beat another bum, Bermane Stiverne(who has never been a world champion himself) to win the WBC belt. Wilder is garbage truck juice.
2:00 is a scary punch.
0.51 seconds Jesus who is that opponent somebody please tell me I want to watch that fight vicious uppercut and hook.
Whats the name of the background music?
Etto Trink - Wise And Powerful
Bro u gotta start putting the music in ur descriptions, they're catchy
Who is he fighting at 1:13? Really curious
2:57 Who is Louis fighting here?
Louis was a knock out man. He also looked so fair skinned in films.
Which fight is 2:26?
Can you make a video on Marco Antonio Barrera?
A brilliant pugilist
His left was not an ordinary jab from orthodox stance. It was a straight left, whole-body mechanic.
His right leg through the thigh through the knee to the foot extended outwards simultaneously as his left upper arm to elbow to lower arm to fist extended.
It all expanded extended simultaneously. This, coupled with Joe Louis powerful, compact, muscular torso spelled magnifcence in The Ring.
That left punch hit with giant impact. It shocked. They are seeing stars when it struck.
He had a thick, muscular waist. Massive core strength. He had the physique of a bricklayer mason.
