    You cannot compare any of Joe’s opponents to Lewis. Walcott, Conn, Max, Sharkey and all those other guys would get blasted out by Lewis

    Is Louis so much worser then a 1999 Holyfield?

    This is the main question here.

    Lennox was definately in his prime in his 2 bouts with Evander.


    Would a 1999 Holyfield have beaten a prime Louis? I dont think so.

    We all know what strenghts Lennox had, and he was to this day the best over 6´4´´ heavyweight, but his chin was not the best and any great puncher will be dangerous for him all the time.
    Louis was not really a glass chin. He could take some stuff, imo more then Lennox.

    Both man can win this fight...i dont know who would...

    Louis would have had trouble, but he would have landed enough to knock LL out cold.

    Nothing against LL, he was a very great fighter and top 7 ATG imo.

    Joe by 11th round KO.
