    Being young only 15 i had never saw joe louis heard stories about him I used to think he was good but was not great at all.

    Once i sat down turned the lights off in the room and watched his fights on film he was one of the best fighters i had ever saw.

    I loved everything about him.


    What I think is stupid is when people say The klitschko Brothers are the greatest and they would destroy Joe.

    im 100% sure he would knock both of them out.

    I think primo carnera was better than both of the Klitschko Brothers.


    They there to big joe destroy big guys.


    It just seems crazy to me when people think that.

    I think Wlads height reach, and pulverizing jab and dynamite right
    hand would be too much for Joe. Wlad had great footspeed as well.
    I cant see Joe getting past that jab, though Joe had perfect form and
    precise accurate combos he could hurt Wlad. Wladimir KO9 Louis.
    Vitalis herky jerky style, Joe eats a lot of jabs, gets dropped
    cathes Vitali on the ropes with combos, lands a huge right on the
    Inside Louis tko Vitali 10. I wanna read others opinions on this.

    While Louis is a top two all time, and neither Klitschko cracks my top 10, , I doubt if he beats either Klitschko..

    I don't think he beats any version of Vitali.

    And while he might have prevailed over a younger Wlad, I think The younger Klitschko has improved to the point where he has the tools to be favoured over Joe.

    Louis would score a KO if he tagged brother Wladimir, but bigger bro Vitali would probably administer a wicked beating from long range....... Vitali Klit is also an ATG champion, just like Louis is in the books......

    I'd pick Louis. He fought in tiem when boxing had more guys entering the sport, and he beat fighters from 3 eras. He defeated Sharkey, Shmeling, Bear, and Uzcudum, who were from from early 1930's, he beat everyone from late 1930's to mid 1940's, and he even beat some good 1950's fighters in his comeback. He showed he could fight any sized fighter, and deal with any style. Vitali would be tougher one to beat. 2 or 3 years ago I would say no chance for Klit bros, now I have to give both good chance. It's no walkover, but I say Louis.
