    I think he beats all of those and most of whom emphatically

    Michael spinks might get the decision over him and would definitely he the most challenging opponent.

    Louis beats the rest mostly without trouble

    Yes, I think he probably runs the table here. Bruno, oddly enough might be the most dangerous, but if he doesn't hit Louis with a big shot he gets KO'd inside 8.

    Maybe, but he'd be up against a far more talented lineup than the men he defended against in real life.

    He might get upset in one of them.

    I have got no idea. But weird stuff can happen on any given night.

    i wouldn’t bet on that at all. Why would you give Berbick a real chance ?

    Berbick was very tough and strong.

    Louis destroys them all inside 10. Spinks in 1. Tysons opponents were a sorry lot of Holmes leftovers and lazy pieces of ****.

    I agree that he was tough and strong and a pretty good fighter as well. But so were many of those other guys as well as plenty of the ones Joe Louis flattened. I don’t see any real physical or stylistic advantage for Berbick here. In fact he’d likely try to brawl with Louis on the inside which was the worst thing to do with him.
