    You do know that Louis was little bit bigger than a light heavy and Klitschko about 15-20 cm higher and 25 kilo heavier..?

    Louis has serious trouble against tentative, cautious Wlad. If Wlad comes in as he did earlier in his career, he gets beat up and knocked out.

    The late version over the last 5-6 years beats Louis with conservative boxing-jabbing and the judiciously chosen right hand or left hook.

    God help him if Louis catches him and smells blood though.

    I mean come on? Really? Look, Joe was a great fighter for his time, but there were many instances where he was the bigger man. He wasn't a slick fighter, instead employing a boxer-puncher style. He'd have to cross a ton of real estate to get to Wladimir. No contest, Wladimir KO's Joe.

    Louis was and always has been massivly ovverated, most of his career he fought blown up light heavies Bum of the month club sum up a lot of his fight's. Wlad has way to much size on him Wlad would jab him into submission and stop him around 8 rounds IMO. Louis isn't a heavyweight by modern standards the thing people have to realize is against the majority of old heayweights the Klitschko's win past heavies like Louis, Marciano ect were to small to beat a klitschko.

    Wlad would knock him out in less than 3 rounds. No doubt.

    1 right hand would be all it takes.

    He is significantly bigger than Louis and hits much harder.

    ...Would be extremely hard for Louis to catch Wlad. I don't think his style is really going to hack it against a guy who is so cautious, but also has those long levers and pretty quick feet, and a world-class jab.
    Smaller man by some margin though he is, would Wlad tempt fate against Louis, who most certainly can knock him on his ass if he gets the chance? He'd play it safe and jab to a decision I think.

    If Braddock and Tony Galento put Louis on the canvas, Klitschko would put him on the canvas as well, only for longer than a 10 count.

    First off, honestly ask yourself, if this doesn't look exactly like a black and white version of Wlad. Same stance, holds the hands the same way, same size. Look at him even grabbing like a homo***ual, but Louis throwing a STRONGER version of Wlad around like he's a ***** at the 51 second mark.

    Now, go to 4:30 in this video.

    One solid connection, and Wlad is crawling all over the floor picking up his glass.

    Think about it, Povetkin went 12 rounds, and he's garbage. He didn't even land a shot on Wlad because he has no skill.

    You can't tell me Louis wouldn't land some shots, and he clearly knew how to duck shots from bigger men. He would have Wlad in his customary position...

    ON HIS HAND AND KNEES CRAWLING ALL OVER THE FLOOR.

    Joe Louis had those real muscles. No water muscle bull**** and he wasn't scared like baby D Floyd.

    Louis IMO is the greatest HW of all time. But, in a h2h scenario I have a hard time seeing Louis win. Louis is more skilled but the physical difference is too much.

    Joe too small....better than Wlad though no doubt. Never had a riod needle in his ass like Wlad either...(Pretty sure Wlad had a riod needle in his ass when he was only in his teens)

    Wlad can do 240lb's and look lean

    Joe is like 190lb's lol!

    That's 50 lb's.
