    It's the ones you didn't see that does the most damage. J.Louis's short,precise punches and Cobb's lack of defense would lead to Cobb's face being turned to hamburger. If their is a fighter in history that could stop Cobb early it would be prime Louis or prime Tyson either way in a 15rd fight, Cobb wouldn't hear the final bell against those two.

    How many times did Tex Quit in a fight ?? 0 nil never.
    But there was one fight on his record where he was supposedly Ko'd in 1 by some guy named Dee something I believe. Someone asked him about it Tex just said " NEXT QUESTION" lol

    No chance Cobb survives for 12-15 rounds against the best Louis. Too wide open a target.
