Abe Simon was robbed against Joe Louis

[butterfly1964]

The Facts

* Aside from Conn and Simon, Louis never knocked anybody out past the twelfth round. But since Simon and Conn were robbed, these knockouts don't count. Thus, it is a fact that Louis could not knock anyone out after the twelfth round, invalidating the Conn and Simon knockouts. Therefore, Simon must have been robbed.

Exhibit A: Grainy stills. These prove that I'm right and you're wrong.

* Modern boxing--which is superior to old-time boxing--only has twelve rounds. Louis's knockout of Simon in the thirteenth is therefore in clear violation of the rules, and should not count.

Exhibit B: Abe Simon. This photograph clearly shows that Simon is not unconscious, disproving the "knockout myth" once and for all.

Abe Simon was robbed against Joe Louis (continued)

* The fight was fixed by the mob. This cannot be verified only because the mob's corrupt influence is covering up the story. This proves it to be true.

Exhibit C: Could this be the mobster that fixed the fight? A famous boxing historian (off the record, of course) admitted to me in a private conversation that it probably was.

* The score cards in boxing matches should be based on an objective analysis of each fighter's skill by the judges. This rule was flagrantly violated in the Louis-Simon bout. Size is a skill, and Simon was bigger (and therefore showed more skill) than Louis throughout the fight. Even when Louis flattened him in the illegal 13th round, Simon was still bigger.

Exhibit D: Compare these two pictures, placed side-by side. Notice that Joe's entire upper body is the same size as Abe Simon's head. Simon was clearly larger throughout the fight.

Gentlemen, I rest my case.

I always knew Butterfly was a nice guy, but he's really come such a long way as a poster on this forum. One day we maye even hear him say "Marciano was the 10th best heavyweight if you rank fighters by their accomplishments".
