    This was going to go ahead,and it was only the outbreak of World War 2 that prevented it from doing so. Joe always said that Tommy was one of his toughest ever opponents. How would a rematch have gone ? Well,Louis was similar to Ali in as much that they'd aways do better in rematches,so I say Louis,this time by late round tko. Good fight up until that point.

    I dont think that Louis's tendency to do better in rematches would be the only factor here. I think Farr had also lost a bit.

    It might be worth trying a flutter on Louis being the first to stop Farr in this scenario.

    This.. :good Well put, factor in how great Joe was in rematches and the fact that Farr had slipped a bit and I think you have the recipe for a Louis KO
