    The Joe Louis that KO'd Lee Savold versus the modern Deontay Wilder.

    Louis:
    37 Years Old
    6"2 210lb

    Wilder:
    32 Years Old
    6"7 220lb

    Who wins between this battle of the bombers?

    That shell of a shell Louis gets counted out mid fight....one would really hate old Louis pretty bad to put him in with the current top heavies in AJ/Wilder/Parker/Povetkin

    I think I'm surprising myself by picking Wilder here.

    Wilder will have to show me more, before I even pick him over this version of Louis!

    Because Wilder's record is very impressive so far?

    38-0, 37 knockouts. What a silly thing to say.

    You could get those numbers, for literally any world class fighter, by matching them against cans.

    Wilder's resume is basically Stiverne at this point!

    Or because Louis could no longer pull the trigger on his right hand?

    Every fight with a highly trained professional boxer is a serious risk no matter how good you are.

    Nobody is mistaking the volume of his wins with the quality, least I don’t think.

    He’s trying to get better opposition but they seem to get caught with illegal PEDs.

    Take the Rocky beating out of the equation, and Louis is nobody to feel sorry for. He was still putting wins together hurting folks.

    It's fight night boys!
    Ready to see history as a future ATG puts another dramatic win under his belt?
    How badly will Wilder defeat him?!
    Could Stiverne show up and expose weaknesses??
    What kind of exciting things will unfold? Which one of Wilders killer punches will seal the deal?
    Will he be sharp, or will he be wild?

    This is what it's all about, lets go!

    I knew this would be a historic night.
    I could just sense that Wilder has really figured himself out as a fighter.
    He's reached a new peak.
    His confidence is real. He is real.

    Be prepared to see this KO again and again throughout the future.
    A great, fantastic showing from a modern HW great.

    We always yearn about the greats of the past, but can we recognize when there is one in our midst?
