    Exactly! By the age of 22 Louis had faced 4 former undisputed heavyweight champions and several contenders. His resume sh*ts all over Wlad's!

    At times Greb was fighting every 10 days or so,one wonders how the cosmetic records of some of the unbeaten fighters of today would fare boxing to the same frentic schedule?:think

    Not necessarily.

    Louis was big enough for the era he fought in. However, he may find (may being the operative word) that he would be at a strength disadvatage against guys weighing 220 plus.

    He may feel the need to bulk up to 220 or so, just as Holyfield did. Joe had the frame to carry an extra 15-20 pounds no problem.
    His weight of around 200-205 was ideal for his era; in the modern era he may have to add a bit extra.

    I was being sarcastic.

    Hegrant is quite vocal when it comes to past heavies he don't like being limited to their actual weight, so nice to see his hypocrisy on beefing Louis up.
