    Richard is a pretty big southpaw from the 21st century. He's a pretty solid contender from todays era what would happen if we teleported Torrez to the 1940s HW division

    I really love your posts man, but for now I'm still choosing Louis and I think that opinion will stay with me forever...

    While i am skeptical of Louis against high quality southpaws, Torrez is just too wide open to beat Louis. Louis's straight right hand will beat Torrez to the mark and Louis should win a conclusive tko win here.

    Louis tko 5.

    The onus is on Louis to prove he could compete with Torrez's modernity.
