How Joe Louis would beat Mike Tyson..

Prime Tyson had better combinations than Joe Louis, with far greater handspeed. You can stand in front of Louis and survive (for as long as Joe stays up) when you have Tyson's firepower and head movement. As for Louis' chin, how many times was Louis dropped by men not known to be huge heavyweight punchers?

 

But Tyson was knocked senseless by a half a stone lighter Holyfield, now you're going to say Evander hit harder than the one and only Joe Louis?? :rofl

 

You really are underestimating Louis's hand speed big time.

 

In the 11th round... Louis would already be in street clothes on his way to the hospital for diagnostics by then (especially if he fought a prime Tyson instead of the diminished, post-prison Bert Cooper 2.0 version Holyfield beat).

 

You seem to be underestimating every facet of prime Mike Tyson, big time.

 

Holyfield had Tyson hurt as early as the 2nd round, that ****es all over the myth Tyson had to be exhausted to be hurt. Saying that Bruno squashed that one years before....

 

So, the post-prison Tyson was prime?

 

He was not, and that should be understood, but Holyfield still exposed some stylistic weaknesses.

Nobody had ever actually tried to fight him on the inside before, and when somebody did, he had no answer for it.

If Louis cottoned on to this stylistic weakness, he would be in big trouble.

 

About as prime as The Real Deal I'm guessing..

 

Exactly, the first time someone fought up close and compact instead of backing the **** up Tyson had no answer.

 

Because the Real Deal was a small, swarmer type who relied solely on speed and balance to get close enough to land anything, and who was battling champs at 20 and subsequently went to prison for 3 years. Yes, they are exactly ****ogous.

 

Have you got a prime testing gauge gadget or something??

 

Proof that Tyson can be hurt early by lesser punchers than Louis, at the 18:03 mark Holyfield lands a right that freezes Tyson in his tracks, he has that same blank look he had in the 1st Ruddock fight when hurt, Bobby Czyz certainly picked up on it.

I think Max Baer would knock Bruno out. Jumbo Cummings nearly did, FFS!

 

That's your proof??
