    Tyson - Louis is a fascinating fight, they both liked to work at that medium-close range.

    I think Louis is a bit more compact puncher with more recupperative power; Tyson at his best was probably both harder to hit and harder to hurt.

    Exactly - plus lets not forget - the Galento thing, I don't think, was a knockdown where Louis was actually hurt one iota - he made a sudden shift at exactly the moment Galento launched a bomb - it happened in s plit second and Louis was completely off balance - there was actually little resistance the way I saw it Louis just kinda got knocked straight to the mat not hurt at all and was up in a split second - as flash a knockdown as they come in my opinion within another second Louis was back to work looking to chop Galento to peices like a butcher chopping a side of beef

    I'll always believe a peak Mike Tyson brutalizes Joe Louis in a head-to-head battle.

    Galento was a fat little plodding drunkard. Lardass 2 Tonne had **** CAVEMAN skills And trained at teh local tavern lifting beer barrels And having bar brawls galore with rival jiggly beer belly drunkards. Galento did drop And hurt/stagger a PRIME Joe Louis lol. I seen all films of Galento, he was a wanksock level midget bum!
