Joe Louis' Brutal One-Punch Destruction Of Lewis: GIF Spotlight

Here's another GIF from Joe Louis' appearance on The Colgate Comedy Hour with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

Vicious. Not particularly fair, as Lewis didn't have to wear gloves, but still very vicious. Apologies if the title made it look like Joe's fight with John Henry Lewis.

Jerry Lewis intimidating/entertaining Joe Louis on The Colgate Comedy Hour back in the fifties, as Dean Martin and Tony Martin look on. "I like it. I like it." Joe says. If this isn't the Ali shuffle, I don't know what is.

This is from the Colgate Comedy Hour, I believe sometime between 1950 and 1955, with crooner Tony Martin, the great Joe Louis, and classic comedy duo Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin.

There is always someone stronger, and always someone more popular.

Jersey Joe Tries To Hypnotize Joe Louis With His Shuffle: GIF Spotlight

A joy of boxing is seeing Jersey Joe shuffling his shuffle, confidently plotting and scheming and baiting traps all the while. Sometimes it's even like he tries to hypnotize his opponent. In June of 1948, Walcott got his rematch for the controversial decision he'd suffered the year before against the great Brown Bomber. Again, he displayed his beautiful skills and hypnotic shuffle, but, this time, Joe Louis didn't let the judges make a decision. In 1951, Walcott would go on to win the heavyweight title against Ezzard Charles and become the oldest fighter to win the heavyweight championship of the world, at age 37. That record would hold through the fifties, the sixties, the seventies and the eighties. George Foreman's victory over Michael Moorer in 1994 is the record to beat now. Foreman was miraculously 45. Not to instigate, but the twice-retired yet svelte Vitali Klitschko is now 46.

Eddie Cantor, For Tense Anticipation: Reaction GIF Spotlight

All-purpose entertainer Eddie Cantor had a seat here for Joe Louis VS Jersey Joe Walcott I, the fifth of December, 1947, in Madison Square Garden. While announced on camera, he gave his best reaction GIF face and gestures for tense anticipation. I don't know how he knew about GIF's or reaction GIF's so far in advance, but he surely did. Singer, dancer, comic, clairvoyant. . . What couldn't he do? Forumites everywhere salute you, Eddie Cantor.

Joe Louis' Devastating KO Over Lee Ramage: GIF Spotlight

Joe Louis had glowing things to say about Lee Ramage, and his masterful defensive skills. He met him early in his career, when a seasoned Ramage gave him fits until Louis' power ended him in the eight round. This GIF is from their second encounter, which was made very quickly, Louis blowing him out in only the second round. Louis remained highly impressed with Ramage, long after he himself became a seasoned veteran champion, comparing him favourably to Billy Conn! Notice referee Jeff "Duke" Kenworthy getting smacked in the face with the towel. The corner wanted to make sure.
