    This would be a really interesting matchup I think.

    Two great boxers with fantastic jabs.

    So who takes it Prime for Prime?

    Very tough one. Either Holmes takes it by decision,or he leads on the cards untill the last few rounds,and Louis knocks him out. I give the latter scenario a 55/45 chance of coming off.

    Louis would hurt Holmes and Holmes would go down more than once here i see Louis getting a hotly disputed pts victory

    I agree, it would be close.

    Maybe even an SD victory either way.

    Joe Louis by KO...Joe Louis would find too many ways to set up the right hand and Joe was a great finisher

    Homer WIDE Decision.


    Plodder-footwork And no head-movement mean Louis stuck on end of Holmes's mint jab.

    Homer was KO'd ONCE in 75 fights - when he was SHOT, OLD And VS Pime Tyson.

    Louis have better combos, hand-speed, finisher-skillz, power, accuracy, then Tyson - BUT can he REALLY stop Prime Holmes???
