Joe Louis had one signature victory against Max Schmeling, an inferior fighter he had previously lost to.
After that, he was mostly “Bum of the Month” opponents who were not in his league.
Occasionally, fighters like Jersey Joe Walcott and Billy Conn gave him a good fight but most were just walkovers
Ali beat Sonny Liston who experts predicted would literally kill him. He beat Joe Frazier, Ken Norton along with all the top heavyweights of his era.
Beating George Forman, who again experts predicted would physically harm him was the highlight of his career.
