    Who`s the heaviest guy Louis knocked out compare to the heaviest guy Canelo has knocked out? None of Canelo`s light middle opposition could have lasted long with Joe.

    The fact that it took Louis 13 rounds to get someone who'd come up from lightweight out of there when he was wearing washing up gloves only makes him look worse.

    Who's the lightest guy who nearly knocked Louis out? If a 169lb KO 19% featherfist who came up from lightweight can come within a whisker of doing so then Smith can surely go one better. Smith would be sporting a close to KO 100% if he was wearing washing up gloves and there's no way Louis would be taking his check left hook if Cotton Bud Fists Conn's left hook nearly sparked him.

    And size up at HW means nothing because all those behemoths he fought were as slow and cumbersome as Herman Munster's arthritic ghost. It's literally like playing target practice. It's like all those 240-250lb tomato cans The Tuscaloser fought. Slug slow and easy to hit.

    Louis was able to stun Conn with a left hook in the fifth, he would have taken Canelo out in that instant.

    By the eighth round, Louis began suffering from dehydration.

    Louis landed far more hooks than Smith has landed in his career and his hooks had more power, Smith doesn`t have Conn`s movement or combo`s, Conn would have out-boxed Smith.

    These clowns on ESB get dumber by the year

    None of them are taking into account variables

    Louis today would benefit from training, nutrition, etc

    Clenelo would be lacking in those areas if he had a time machine and fought Louis in his era

    This may be the dumbest thread yet

    stupid point, maybe Louis would be a UFC fighter or a football player now, you cannot tell; just take the fighters as they were/are

    Louis wouldn`t need any of that, he was still bigger and more powerful than Canelo anyway.

    Louis was 205 in his prime, struggled highly with 179 lb Bob Pastor, and was rocked numerous times by featherfisted 169 lb Billy Conn
