How would Joe Louis have done in the 90's era?

Alrighty then!

 

It depends when he hits his prime and when he comes along, in reality he also likely bulks up a little and is more powerful but I'd use the 200lb version for the sake of not going too sci-fi

Prime Early 90s Holy beats him imo - much better movement and footwork, stronger, technically his match and too much pressure

Early 90s Tyson beats him as does post prison version up until the '99 version - far better footwork and more skilled, plus a bigger puncher in my view

A Lennox fight could go either way, both could knock the other out, I'd lean towards Lennox landing his right hand and knocking Joe out

Bowe against Louis would be a war, Louis better technique in his punches perhaps, Bowe much bigger/stronger and a much better chin, you'd think that may see him outbrawl Louis

BUT a 220lb ripped Louis does better against all......and no offense to Louis the 90s was the best HW era ever for talent

 

Louis was the greatest power punching combination puncher that ever lived, he would beat them all...prime for prime, Louis beat all sizes colors and styles

 

Obviously he would be sharing an era with other great fighters, and that throws into question whether he could have enjoyed the same level of dominance, especialy given that his prime would not always coincide with theirs.

For example, he might have been able to beat Lennox Lewis at his best, but would a 34-37 year old Louis beat Lewis at the same age?

He would have been the most consistent great fighter of that era, and that would undoubtedly have weighed in his favour.

Agreed

 

I know Louis got ko'd by a a light heavy and lost most of the fight to a 167lb Conn. He's also quite easy to hit with right hands, he had slowing plodding footwork, knocked down more than most HW champs, fought in a generally weak era, which is why he has more KOs. He's a great heavyweight, a great puncher but a flawed one

Your post is confused, strength and punching power are not the same thing in case you didn't know

I think you'll likely be banned for your white supremacy post in the lounge shortly anyway. Do you neo-nazis plan raids on this place or something as there seems to be allot of you on ESB

 

I think I pulled my credulity reading that line. Hopefully it heals up by Mass time.

Do you want to rethink that statement?
