    After Louis had lost to Charles and ventured on his comeback ,what if he'd faced light heavy champ Maxim.?
    Could Joey have beaten the old champ ,before even Marciano?
    If so this would have given Maxim wins over Louis, Sugar Ray and Floyd Patterson!

    Louis would have outjabbed him for the unanimous decision. At 215lb, he was too big and skilled for the 175lb Maxim.

    Louis UD

    Maxim can't hurt Joe...Joe can k.o Maxim. Maxim concedes to a UD loss..pre-fight.

    That's true .Got lucky with the heat against SRR and a dubious win over Floyd .

    Like everyone else is saying....Louis takes a decision over an iron jawed Maxim.
