Why do you think that , because you believe Louis would walk forward face first into everything Vitali thew at him? In that case you don't know a whole lot about Joe Louis because he would do anything but plod forward like Chris Arroela or a shot Sam Peters.

If you knew anything about Louis you'd know he had great ability to jab , counter and strike fast with pinpoint accuracy even when just outside of range. He may have stalked slowly and patiently , but once he got close , he struck hard and fast.
I just don't see how Vitali could avoid such a perfectly timed fast , accurate attack tbh.
He didn't have any ability to parry like Louis did. He didn't have the ability to counter and moving back in straight lines with his hands down left his entire physical structure open to Joe's renowned body attack.

Furthermore Vitali didn't have the reach of a SHW . All the big guys Louis pummeled had longer reaches than Vitali. Primo had an 85 inch reach
Vitali's was 79 , not that much longer than Joe's 76. Fact is Joe battered guys Vitali's size all throughout his career. The best guy Vitali fought that was the same size as Luis was Byrd. We saw the skill of Byrd force Vitali to quit on his stool. . Louis was better than Byrd in every way.

Thats what the fight would look like.. Not as easy for Luis but you get a good idea of how it would play out. . You'll scoff at Simion being used as an opponent to prove a point , but then you are you going to compare Louis to , 40 Briggs , Herbie Hide , Arroela?
Vitali beat nobody. There isn't a name on his winning record that Wilder couldn't beat , especially the versions of those name he beat.
