Riddick Bowe vs. Joe Louis

Bowe and Holyfield...

 

ROCKY TKO3

 

*me seeing this thread*
Well this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me...

 

Rocky was better then Bert cooper by a country mile and he had Evander on sh1t street same with Qawi and Moorer I don’t think big guys are the key to beating Holy I think Rocky would break Evander down in the mid to late rounds.

 

Then the stuff he said is bull****. Bowe would ice the sub 200 pound men known as Dempsey and Marciano and Holyfields skill would be too much for those tiny men. And Holyfield will always beat Mike Tyson prime or not because styles make fights.

What is it with people thinking Mike Tyson in his prime destroys Holyfield. Mike Tyson lost because Holyfield was the superior inside fighter. He always has been and he always will be. Mike Tyson is a midrange fighter so when he had elite level infighter (Evander Holyfield) go toe to toe with him he had trouble. Holyfield had Mikes number

 

And Louis was better than Holyfield.

 

I personally think Holyfield was better

 

Better comp, Longevity, wins and H2H ability in my eyes. I do not understand how Louis is rated higher then Vander based on anything but his long championship reign which does not in my opinion entitle him to being rated higher then the likes of Holyfield.

 

No need to be a douche, I have never seen Rez use such a profane way of describing one of your posts- so perhaps take it easy bud its just sports discussion.

 

Indeed- Manners make men.

 

I honestly don’t see why Joe is one of the highest rated heavyweights of all time. He had a good title reign but the fighters he was up against weren’t exactly monsters. Guys like Holyfield and Ali were top dogs in competitive eras yet Louis is somehow in that league. He honestly shouldn’t be rated higher than the Klitschko brothers

 

Too true, its his old timer mystique that contributes to him being a default for most people. Ali and Holyfield are a league ahead of Louis in my eyes.
