    The best version of Douglas fights a circa 1941-1942 Brown Bomber? How does Louis handle the skilled 6'4 230ish pound Douglas?

    Douglas could do very well indeed for a number of round. Lots of movement and snapping the jab out .But I reckon at some point in the fight , behind on point s , Joe finds the chin of Buster and sends him crashing.I'll go with Louis w ko 8

    Louis had everything except a iron chin, if schmeling could put him down Douglass Could put him under, I just re watched Douglass vs Tyson today and if Douglass came to fight like he did in that fight, grim and determined I think he'd be too much for Louis, but the Douglass of any other fight he was in is likely to lose to Louis. Douglass was a fighter that was literally only in his prime for 1 fight.
