    So you think Louis has a chance to beat a prime Tyson or Lewis but also has a chance to lose via KO to Langford??

    My point was you could argue Langford beat better fighters than Louis.

    Maybe, but he was much less consistent.

    I don't remember saying Louis has a chance to beat Tyson or Lewis,but yes I think he does.
    I think he has a chance to beat any heavyweight whoever lived.

    I'm sure you have posted in a Tyson vs Louis or a Louis vs Lewis thread at sometime or another.

    Very possibly and I stand by that opinion.

    Not fair in what way Mendoza ? Jack Blackburn was Joe's trainer from his debut until he died and Al Silvani took over.

    Well I think Mercer would give prime Ali from 1967 a good whoopin'!

    Why do you say "attempts to show his skills"??

    I take Louis by virtue of him being the best heavyweight ever, as opposed to Langford, who wasn’t

    Joe has to pick himself up off the canvas a few times, before scoring a ko around 12.

    After Blackburn died, Manny Seamon took over the training duties.

    Al was only young when he got the job. I've always been hugely impressed with how he was able to step into Backburn's shoes.
