Just a documentary I came across the other day which details the two matches between Joe Louis, the best technical heavyweight who ever lived, and Jersey Joe Walcott, perhaps the craftiest. Definitely worth a look, if only for Joe Walcott's bizarre cakewalks, stance switches and side stepping counter right hands. The sequence starting at 0:11 sums up these fights in a moment; Joe Louis stalking Walcott like he has so many other heavyweights but not knowing quite what to do with him, then getting dropped by a huge right hand seemingly out of nowhere.
