    Who would win? AJ has the height and reach advantage, could be lights out for the brown bomber

    Louis ko's him, his chin won't take Joe's combo's.

    AJ might be the biggest bum in boxing but he will fold any 200 pound midget not named Usyk or Holyfield.

    Although I take this opinion back if Wallin beats him.

    Louis v Joshua come on man just look at the times and also the political climate when Louis was fighting,it’s a toss up between Louis and Ali for me who was the best Heavy ever to do it,make no mistakes Joshua done well and nobody can ever deny that even haters can’t,but matching him up with a bonafide ATG who was Undisputed Champion of the World for longer than Joshua’s full pro career so far ! Joshua could simply not deal with Louis’s skill set and attributes .

    Look at the tape of Tony "Two Tons" Galento vs. Joe Louis. AJ....and I have tons of respect for Louis, would KO him.

    i think its very close and competitive, both could be put and down and put together great combos, i would say the later version of AJ would be better. in a more aggressive plan i think he has moments of success but loses due to inferior technique

    Have you seen Andy "Dos Tortas" Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua.
    Maybe you should check it out.

    2 Ton Tony would knock out Joshua and Ruiz on the same night

    Exchanging with AJ is a pretty bad plan for most heavyweights and especially for little ones. Louis' defence wasn't bad but it wasn't perfect either and frankly I think Joshua's bombs are going to send him to the shadow realm. Louis has a chance if he detonates first, perfectly and fast - and he might - but this is a fight between a cruiser and a true heavy let's be honest.

    Depends. Is Joe Louis going to get a long modern camp with PEDs? If yes I'll go for the Brown bomber.

    Louis is arguably the greatest puncher in heavyweight history and for me despite his small size he certainly has the fire power to stop AJ. I’ll take the brown bomber in this one.

    If AJ Thought Ruiz hit hard, can imagine his reaction when Louis smacks him!!
