    Joe Louis would not beat Cassius Clay. He would beat Muhammad Ali thought.

    I can see Ali stopping Joe the way Max Schmeling did around 12-14

    Ali was too mobile. Louis fought in a stationary style taking very short steps.

    1967 Ali would box circles around Louis.
    Post-layoff Ali would have a much harder time. Brutal fight!
