    The Louis of 1941-42 vs the best of Parker? Can Parker pull the upset? Or would anyone even say a Parker win would be an upset?

    Joe Louis by a late round stoppage, Joe had a hard left jab, and a pulverizing right hand. Louis has fought giants before, Max Baer Sr's brother, Buddy, May 23 1941, DQ 7, and Jan 9 1942, KO 1, also Primo Carnera, in 1935, TKO 6. Joseph Parker was out boxed by Anthony Joshua, on March 31 2018, in losing a unanimous 12 round decision. Joe would be the busier of the two by scoring often with his hard left jab, and combinations to the head of the stationary Parker. Louis catches Parker with a very decapitating right hand that has Joseph Parker laying on his back for the full 10 count, in round 11.

    Joe's double jab will trouble Joe.

    Parker has the best double jab I've seen in many years. Louis would struggle a tad with that.

    Louis was no longer prime in41/42 but still great.Parker leaves himself open to the right hand at times,not a good move against a still potent Louis.

    I was going to reply that you are unfailingly aggressive with your replies and always unnecessarily rude, then I re -read the years.Louis was no longer the Brown Bomber by 50/51.I got the decades mixed up!
    ps I'm still right on my other observations though!
