    2026 Dubois falls through a time warp to 1941 to fight the great Joe Louis. Does Dubois prove he's the greater fighter by defeating Louis?

    Louis did KO Buddy Baer and Abe Simon who were the size of Abe Simon

    Abe Simon was remarkably similar in size to Abe Simon. Identical, even.

    I've always considered Buddy Baer to be Buddy Baer sized.

    The real question is, is Jimmy Bivins Oleksandr Usyk sized ?

    The difference between Wardley and Louis (and Usyk by extension) is that Joe has the skills to take advantage of Dubois slowness, openings and would land on Dubois a LOT more than Fabio did who, despite being very fast himself, just didn't have the skills to get it done. Joe inside 4.

    Dubois would be dangerous enough that Louis woudl want him out of there early, but not dangerous enough to stop him from doing it.

    Louis, Louis, Louis

    Has Dubois become a top-10 heavyweight of all time, all of the sudden? Seems like that is what some people are intimating.

    DuBois wouldn't do too good against Joe louis but I give him a good shot against Idi Amin.

    Dubois is too big too strong. I think he could knock Louis out with the jab - no joke

    Joe Louis beat big punching stiff Super Heavyweight sized fighters like Abe Simon, Buddy Baer, Primo Carnera.

    He'd do the same to Dubois.

    Obviously you've never seen Joe Louis take apart Buddy Baer in 1 round who was 6'6, 250 pounds, with an 84 inch reach.

    Baer also had 53 stoppages out of 58 wins.
