The Tyson of June 30, 1988 fights a prime version of Joe Louis. Could Louis turn the trick against ths force of nature or would he go the way of Michael Spinks?
I’ve gone with Tyson TKO mid rounds. Tyson was not only a roaring blaze of combination punching fury, he had superb defence and head movement unlike anything Joe had set foot in a ring with at that point in time.
Oh Tyson by ko. Styles makes fights man. Tyson had the perfect pack to stop Louis early. He was as fast or faster, hits probably harder or as hard at least,tyson had the much better chin and was as good in combinations and as good finisher. Tyson can match Louis in every department where Louis was good added with a better chin better defence and he was 20 pounds heavier and more aggressive
He could, probably would, and may stun him but I don't see that really stopping him. I mean, it's possible that Louis could really shake him up but Tyson s chin was solid, took a lot to hurt the guy, Louis on the other hand could be dropped and hurt by guys that don't scream killer ko.
Legacy, the best in their era, skill, mentality, fight better opposition in their era, legacy Rank = Louis Win. But fight who will win 1988 tyson vs louis 1940 = Tyson win by KO. louis chance only in late Round..
Tyson by KO by round 5 Joe’s footwork was too slow to avoid the combinations from Mike Tyson has superior hand speed, chin, power and defence
