Ali, but that's because of styles, although if Louis catches him, he can finish him. It's a cagy counterpuncher with huge power and fast combinations, against a slick tall, rangy boxer. Louis knocks Frazier out though.
Ali ain't gettin no KO though. He will win this fight by jabbing and running. If he engages, he risks getting knocked out. He'll have to fight real cautious, and use his superior speed to the best of his ability. He shouldn't commit to any punches he doesn't have to.
I'm really gonna be the first guy to go Louis? Joe Louis on the night of the Schmeling re-match was unstoppable. No one could beat him. It's not an original thought but you really think Ali'd take him? Williams was old by then, not sure if that was Ali's best.
If we are transferring Louis' from the Schmeling rematch, does he get all that determination he had to avenge his loss transferred to beating Ali, because I think that intangible sort of makes me favor Louis. He was a beast that night. Discarding that, I think Ali would be a slight favorite over Louis. He can use range and foot speed to stay away and win a decision.
one of the oldest debates me and my friends have. im bias towards louis admittedly. Ali should win it by keeping away from louis all night but u know if joe lands 1 punch he's gonna land about 3 or 4 more with it and tht could be lights out for Ali. thing is joe didnt have the ability to adjust in the ring as much as Ali. both these heavyweights could beat any other great in their day My heart tells me joe louis by KO My head says Ali UD
