You act as if I'd want to be that old . I have seen him fight as well, on tape. Seeing something live 60 or 70 years ago can greatly distort the way you see it in your mind over time. That's if you're being honest in the first place. Shamrock your last name, or do you just happen to love UFC at the age of 90 or so?
Louis would be hell on wheels in the cruiserweight division today. I don't think that he would be suited well going against some of the monsters in the heavyweight divison.
I see Louis a way better fighter than Tua, yet Tua went 12 rounds with Lewis. Lewis and Wlad about the same mould. I give the edge to Wlad tho. Neither fighter would handle Louis's combos and power. Simple as that! They be like chicken legs with a stick and a chair. Louis would have koed Tua in 5 rounds or less, I'm not doubting it!
Louis has a good 20 or so fights out there on film. He is not that sparse on film compare to say Johnson or Dempsey.
57 votes for the brown bomber aint too bad in a mythical matchup when you consider that most of the posters on here have never heard of him. And don't know too much about boxing in earlier times.. there wouldn't too many fighters today who would match Joe's speed and accuracy, and willingness to get it on. He knew how to slip punches and use half steps in close. Joe would back Wlad up and get inside. Size is nothing up against Joe's stinging power combos. Nobody would test Wlad like Joe would, nobody around today anyway. Most of the heavies today are big and cumbersome and simply can't fight, let alone work a fight out!
What a dumb argument atsch Louis is a better fighter than Tua, Tua went 12 with Lewis therefore Louis would at least go 12 with Wlad atsch Louis was indeed a much better overall fighter than Tua but what enable Tua to survive against Lewis' what his cast iron chin. Louis, albeit a much better fighter, has far less inferior chin compared to Tua.
Sorry Patsy, you misquoted me. The brown bomber would ko Wlad in 7. Please read my posts properly, Tua hardly got touched by the stick and chair lion tamer Lewis. I think Louis would find a way to reach the vulnerable spots on Wlad and Lennox. He finds his way in about round 5 after much jabbing and holding by the bigger men, then he controls the finish. You must just about be ready for long pants patsy? :hey :yep
So every guy that went the distence with ALI were all better then GEORGE or SONNEY ect ect ! You guys killl me with your logic ! KLIT would get simply critizied for pounding a guy JOES size ! And he would pound him !:deal
No mate, I just used that comparisan to expose jabbers and runners. They wouldn't run fast enough for the skills and power of brown bomber!
