    Who wins? Obviously this is at their best. Does the 'Bromb Bomber' bomb Lewis away, or does Lewis detonate his right hand on Joe - sending him to the canvas for the 10 count? I've got Lennox via 6th KO, due to his size, reach & height advantage - along with his skill & power being too much for Louis.

    Lewis would murder joe, too big, long, hits too hard, and knew how to use all his advantages. I can’t see joe getting past that jab or taking Lewis’ power

    Was Max about the size and build of Lewis? Or close to? I think Joe out smarts him and out boxes the Big Guy and gets him outa there in the late rounds.

    Louis TKO in the 10th or 11th

    Max was smaller than Lewis and nowhere near as skilled

    Lennox Lewis should but Joe Louis could. The Brown Bomber would be dangerous the entire way. One punch from Joe could change the fight at anytime.
    I would go with Lewis by TKO 7th

    I think Lennox dominates him at range for awhile and then Ko's him in round 4. That said, when Lennox starts to dominate he can get a little sloppy. Joe in his prime would see any opening and then capitalize , Lennox does not have the greatest chin, and if he is hurt Joe is like a shark smelling blood. He could devastate Lennox with a tremendous and precise combo at any time after round 4. Lennox would not survive it.

    I would not want to bet on this fight.

    If it was a rematch I would bet on Joe. He does not lose rematches.

    I like Lewis in this one even though Louis would be dangerous all the time.

    I wouldn't discount Joe Louis's chance's here, one counter left hook from Louis would start a series of punches that would not go well for Lennox.

    I understand the intrigue, but when you understand how fighters have gotten bigger, what's the point of making these?

    Could be. I just see it as 2 different eras with a huge weight difference.

    Joes a combo puncher, one shot won’t be enough to get Lewis going, plus he doesn’t have Evanders chin to weather a big super heavies punch. Lewis could have him out pretty quickly
