    Well, I was assuming Holmes would get old in any era.

    Schmeling, Conn, Walcott & Charles would in my opinion.

    Conn was Louis' 18th title defence, and there were comments before the fight that Louis was slowing.

    Schmeling facing Holmes the champ would be 1938 version here. Maybe the version that best Joe could possibly stand a good chance?
    Charles verse Holmes, is it the old man version of Larry?
    In that case I see Charles getting a decision win.

    Of course not. Holmes beats up all of Louis's opponents, most of them with ease.

    Spinks is miles better than Conn. He didn't hit very hard, but he was very awkward as a boxer.
