    But if there was one guy who could take Louis out early it would be Tyson. And of course Foreman too.

    Secondly, more importantly, whenever Tyson fought anyone his own size or smaller, he made sure they didn't leave the first round.

    He wouldn't, he's not good enough. Bring out the Holyfield and Douglas comparisons but Louis was much more limited with his footwork and jab. People who think Louis had a great jab, are mistaken and don't really understand what makes a great jab.

    Very true,louis also was easily hit with counter rights,to say he is the most flawless boxer ever is pure idiocy ,even the lesser boxing fan should be able to see his flaws.He had a very good basic jab and very good right hand and hooks ,a solid offensive fighter,but no where near a Tyson caliber fighter.
