    Who wins this and why? Can the modern fighter take the old school fighter to school?

    And, seeing that Conn had some success vs Louis, could Ward have a similar level of success or any at all?

    I think Ward vs Louis would be a lot like Conn v Louis but cConn was so quick, that movement and aggression!

    Ward doesnt have the movement Conn had. Roy Jones would be more comparable to Conn

    Ward would no longer be articulate after Louis was done with him.

    Louis at his best KO within five rounds over Ward.

    Conn outboxes Ward for the wide decision win.

    Louis is just too big and powerful. Conn would be a very close, interesting matchup, imo.

    Ward was moved around the ring and out of position by Kovalev's Jab in the first fight all night and backed up and dropped. Louis plus 25lbs on Kovalev would beat Ward senseless.
    Conn is fast with better resume so I'll pick him although Ward always finds ways to win. Solid match but I pick Conn

    Even if Billy could hold him off it would still give Louis openings for free shots and hurt Ward. It could ruin his chances of a win here which is why these 2 against 1 matches almost always goes against the sole fighter.
