    You think he loses to prime Parker and Ruiz?

    No, that one just finishes at 1:01 of the first minute.

    "Never fought a southpaw Chappie said nobody looks good against them" Louis.

    Still, I have to pick Joe here.

    I'd probably only favour one heavyweight from the last 30 years over Louis, and he retired in 2003

    Tua is the 90s version of Tony Galento. Louis stops him.

    So are you saying Moorer stops Louis?

    Prime Tyson could be favored over Louis

    I can't believe that you honestly think this.

    In any event, I love both guys, have said my piece on the matter, and don't intend to get in the weeds about it. But really?

    That was certainly past prime Fury. I think Joe has his hands full with prime Fury and likely gets bullied about. Joe didn't have the footwork of Usyk, who even with those fancy moves gets beat by a less shopworn Fury.

    He should be favored to beat them all.

    If I had to pick someone with the best chance its probably Wlad Klitschko. Wilder would be up there just because his KO power is 1 punch and putting Louis out colds really the only way to stop him.
