    You basically did by trying to change the discussion to fighting in different eras

    A Louis of today wouldn’t be 205

    Because you have to take into account variables

    I don’t like mythical matchups because they may as well be sci fi dreams

    He wouldn`t be Joe if Louis was weighing 220 either.

    Could Canelo the shots Louis hit Conn with better than Billy did? A 205 power puncher hits harde4r than any super middle it`s as simple as that.

    Yes, Conn was only 169 lbs while Canelo is 180-182 lbs and has a titanium chin. But it wouldn’t matter that much because Canelo’s defense in the pocket was clearly better than Conn’s

    Easy for them to say Canelo KO's one of the most vicious punchers in history easy. Not only the size advantage and the craftiness to deal with smaller fighters, but also Louis showed his great jab in the above video, one of the most explosive right hands in history, and sneaky power hooks. Not to mention combinations fast like a middleweight and when he has you hurt, it's light out. Last time I checked, Mayweather couldn't miss Canelo with right hands if he tried, hooks too. Almost took his head off with a lead right hand in the 9th round. Louis had a triple threat one punch power he could finish you with, cross, left hook, or uppercut.

    Louis was better in the pocket that anybody Canelo fought, Floyd is great at slipping in the pocket but Louis threw and landed more hooks that Floyd did in most of his respective fights.

    Canelo’s much better than he was back then. Agree to disagree

    How so when Clenelo has a much better chin than Conn?

    I think this is, to be perfectly honest with you, a lie. I'm not accusing you of being the originator of this lie but I definitely feel it's a lie

    Smith has landed in excess of 2000 hooks in his career and we have no way of determining if Louis' carried more power or not

    I'd favour Smith over Conn and Clenelo over Louis

    Conn was a better combo puncher than Smith is and Louis knocked out bigger fighters than Canelo has.

    He did KO bigger fighters than Clenelo has: Big stiff useless dossers who couldn't get out the way of a punch if they had a month's notice in advance that it was on its way and it was travelling at the speed of snail. But he was also KO'd by a KO 19% Featherfist who weighed at least 10lbs less than Clenelo.
