    If Jim Corbett lived to see Louis' reign, how would Jim have felt about Louis? He didn't like Johnson much.

    How would he have reacted? Horizontally I would say.

    Do you think one of his seconds might have entered the ring to protest about fouls that had not been committed?

    Probably about how he reacted to Peter Jackson.

    I don't think any of us could say without getting banned.

    You mean Jim would have called Louis the N word then run away?

    I would also ask how Louis would have reacted if he saw Corbett entering the ring in that thong.

    Corbett's first question would be what color thong is Louis going to wear in the ring.
