    That's how I feel every time I read one of your idiotic posts. I'm not sure why some of these guys still find your tired-ass shtick amusing.

    For how long do you say Berbick lasts?

    i suppose it depends on what type of approach he takes, but if Berbick goes in there to brawl against Louis at his pinnacle then it likely ends inside of 5

    The only guy I'd give a shot is Tokyo Douglas.

    Spinks due to his style may pose issues.

    I definitely agree with that, but I believe Louis would ultimately persevere and overcome in the event Spinks posed him trouble. Which, I agree he MIGHT, but maybe not.

    Tokyo Douglas would, in my humble opinion, have the best shot at actually beating Joe. That assumes, of course, that Douglas would have the same type of perfect storm unprecedented determination that I believe he possessed for that particular fight. I'm not saying Douglas would win, and I'm not saying I'd favor Douglas. But I'd give him a real chance at winning, whereas with Spinks - I think a best case scenario, he provides a tricky target and banks some rounds taking the fight late.

    Yeah I didn't get that either. Only person on this list who I could see troubling Louis is Douglas.

    If it's the Louis of the Baer fight, around 2-4 rounds.

    Tony Tucker has the best chance of any on that list in my opinion.

    6'5, pretty good jab, can take a shot and he fights upright.
    I think on his best ever night, with a perfect mindset, he might be able to emulate Max Schmelling's gameplan.

    If I was putting money down, I'd still go Louis every night of the week.

    Tony Tucker is a new name....most would pick Spinks or Douglas to get the upset.
