i seen the first fight with joe louis last night what a fight!!!

R.I.P. billy you were great!

Billy Conn was a legend. The book by Paul Kennedy is pretty informative but I wish there was alot more out there about him. He deserves to be remembered.

Old School Irish. A gentlemen yet still potent with his fists late in life. Crook probably never knew one of the best boxers of all time knocked the hell out of him.

Conn...always a great fighter..a true Irishman

Billy is my all time favorite fighter. A master of the triple left hook, he gave the Brown Bomber his toughest title fight.

If it had been a 12 round fight instead of 15 rounds it's almost guaranteed he would've taken the decision.

Billy Conn can deliver the same left hook punch as Cleveland Williams

@@Suplex479 Conn was ahead 7-5, 7-4 on two judges cards and the third judge had it even going into the thirteenth. If he had kept doing what he was doing and boxed him on the outside, he most likely would've won a majority decision.

Don’t mess with billy conn then now or forever

I remember this well.

Like to see Conn's fight with Fritzie Zivic, Duquesne Gardens 1936.

Love it!!

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 excellent!! Thanks for the video!!

A great fighter. Even at 73, he still had it.

I'm related to Billy on my mom's side of the family.

Billy Conn said Harry Greb (also from Pittsburgh) was the best boxer he'd ever seen, that includes Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong. I thought I'd only ever see him in black and white. A legend. As Roger Mayweather used to say 'most motherfcukers don't know siht about boxing'. Billy Conn was ahead on points when Joe Louis KO'd him. Close but no cigar. 😉 kzread.info/dash/bejne/daeIzbJ6nJOYdqw.html

Middle Weight Bill Comb almost KOed Joe Louis..

Louis seemed to have trouble with alot of the smaller guys. Pastor, Conn, Schmeling (1st fight), Marciano (although Louis was 38 at the time.) He did better against the giants for some reason. (Carnera, both of the Baer's, Abe simon.)

Jake Paul should see this interview Then he would know old fighters still have a punch😂

Tough man alright ......The Irish

Was he related to the Joyce Family ?
