Joe Louis was serious.

And 2 Pound Forbes has almost exact style and stance to Floyd, doesn't mean he could beat Mosley.....you fool atsch

Don't every compare Carnera to the Klits again....it just screams ignorance and impartiality!!!

 

You guys kill me sometimes.

Haye is 6'3, 220. Louis was 6'2, 210. Hardly a massive difference in size. There is absolutely no legitimacy to the claim that Haye was "too powerful" for Louis, either. Where do you get off saying such a thing in the first place? Louis was one of the best punch-pickers and finishers of all time. Haye is a like a caveman once he gets an opponent hurt, with all technique flying out the window. Not that he's much of a technician in the first place. Louis would wipe the floor with Haye. I'd be amazed if he lasted more than a couple rounds.

 

atschJesus ****ing Christ. That's going in the sig.

 

He was knocked out by smaller guys with a lesser skillset.

Use your head mate.

 

Dude, please just stop it.

Louis in his prime was under 200lbs. He wouldn't even be a damn heavyweight today! How many fighters did he fight over the 200lb mark? I'm not going to boxrec to check, but i know it is most likely under 10.

It is not a knock on Louis at all, he just does not, at all, match up against these huge guys with the footwork, reflexes, jabs, handspeed and skills as the Klit brothers :deal

 

We do have likes of Kelly Pavlik these days, could challenge HW's of the past.

 

No.

Absolutely not.

Vitali is one of the most basic fighters to ever hold the HW title. He is to be prided on his athleticism and size but he is nothing special. at all. Fat Lewis beat him. ****ing Chris Byrd beat him. And the longest reigning HW champion of the world could not?

As for Wlad, no glass chinned fighter can stand against Louis for any set period of time. This guy lost to Lamon Brewster and Corrie Sanders. He has improved massively but in no way is he in the same class of fighter that prime Louis is. sorry.

Like who? Max Schmeling? Schmeling was a titleholder and a great fighter in his own right. Louis was never KO'd in his prime apart from that fight, where he didn't train and got his just desserts for it. Haye has a worse skillset than Schmeling, and is a worse fighter overall. He gets gassed by R5 and has **** defense.

I would think the Lewis fight would be more on the level because of his massive punch and lateral movement and good skils, but that fight is more in the air. Two of the hardest HW punchers ever with shaky chins, it would be interesting. Bowe vs. Louis would be interesting. I wonder who would fall under the close range assault first. I think JL's handspeed would win him this one by a small hair, but Bowe could certainly bang him out.

Wlad and Vitali would lose. terribly.

 

No its not. Outside of the klitschkos, there's absolutely nobody that would beat him. I would actually pick him to beat both of them.
Wladimir doesn't have the chin, and he's very very robotic... Louis would make fast work with him and probably TKO him.
Vitali drops his hands, leans back from punches, and cuts easily. Louis would easily counter that pushing jab and snap him with a good right cross. Nobody today would beat Louis.

 

Like when Roy Jones Jr went up to heavyweight?

 

NO boxer in history under prime weight of 205lbs should ever be favored over Wlad, Vitali, Lewis or a prime Bowe :good

 

Gotta love morons who think asking questions rather than answering them is an effective way to win an argument. In short, you as dumb as a bag of hammers, friend. Primo Carnera? First off, dummy, they do not have similar stances. And Carnera had no footwork of which to speakl. He walked in the ring and could not move from side to side. Why don't you just do yourself a favor...Look in the mirror, admit you're an idiot, and soak your :goodhead in the toliet.
