Joe Louis vs. Mike Tyson

I would pick Tyson, W.klitschko, Lewis, Bow, Foreman to win against Joe Louis all Via stoppage.

 

Ive always thought Joe Louis as good as he undeniably was...ive always thought that analysts gloss over his dodgy beard....and mediocre competition...bum of the month anyone?

I honestly think Tyson could catch him cold early on and finish him...probably get crucified for saying this but Tyson tko 4

 

Why are the old timers getting so much stick at the moment? People see happy to gloss over Tyson's losses, poor performances & bringing the sport into disrepute.

I reckon Louis outboxes him.

 

I thought your vote was a joke when I saw that 1 vote for Louis. Against Wlad, there is a possibility that Louis could get extremely lucky and knock him out, a tiny tiny possibility, but still a possibility. Against Tyson, Louis barely has a 1% chance to even survive the early rounds. If a time machine was invented and you had to bet your entire worth on this fight, would you pick Louis? I don't think so. Just watch film of Louis during his many defenses, then imagine a prime early 20's Tyson in the ring with him. A complete mismatch.

 

Louis to me despite the 12 year title reign has one of the most overrated resumes in boxing.

His biggest wins are probably Max Baer, Billy Conn, Joe Walcott(the second time he ****ing lost the first) Max Schmeling which was obviously very impressive and heck i dunno Tony Galento

On the flipside he was beaten by Schmeling before he was in his prime, Walcott (IMO) when he was on the slide and also was ravaged by the best fighter he ever faced albeit past his prime in Rocky Marciano.

The thing that puts me off him is the fact he was put on his arse so many times...although he recovered very well i honestly believe a great finisher could have caught him early and finished him off ie Tyson...

 

I accidently clicked on Louis, but Mike Tyson would win this hands down.

 

Mike would have been wide open for the vaunted Louis left hook. The early Mike Tyson feasted on washed up bums and an overblown lightheavy,
Michael Spinks. Couldn't do anything with the tall guys, Bonecrusher etc.
The one thng the early Tyson opponets had in common was fear. No way for Louis. The Brown bomber goes in and this fight is over in the 3rd round.

 

I dont joke mate lets make that clear from the get go. I can't be bothered to get into yet another Tyson discussion because I am so, so bored of them but I stand by what I said. I think it's funny the way people say these things as if they know exactly how it would pan out. Let me ask you a question, Douglas/Louis, how would that one go?

 

How would Schmeling/Tyson go? Tyson wouldn't get knocked out by Schmeling on his worst night. I agree with you though, there's no point of arguing about this.

 

Louis KO somewhere in rounds 7-9.

 

I dont argue mate, I discuss. I'm just sick of discussing Tyson.

 

Tyson would have the advantage early on! If Tyson didn't get the job done early and allowed Joe to stick to his game plan, Tyson would get frustrated and Joe would take him out late!

 

Tyson in his 20's wasn't even human, now he is way past his prime the only thing that hasn't changed is his Paris Hilton getto voice
