    Fury can't fight. Fury fans are a prime example of how deluded boxing fans have become due to the watered down sport we have today. They can no longer determine what good boxing is all about.

    I will never get over this :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Fury beat a 40 year old chump for the title.

    I'm curious...what your top 10 all time h2h heavyweight list looks like?

    Actually I think that he might give Louis problems initially. His sheer size and boxing oriented approach might prove difficult to get to grips with. His huge reach could see Fury pile up the points while Louis tries to close him down.

    That said, Louis probably gets his range in the mid-rounds and lands the big artillery with predictable results :dead

    If Fury had a punch with some power to it, Louis could be in trouble.

    the funny think is that carnera was bigger than fury, he was 6´5 or 6´6 but his frame was giant, wider, huge, not like a bigger version of bob foster. carnera was at his lowest weight when he fought louis at 260 pounds, he carried 280 easily being ripped, fury at 260 is a bunch of fat being 6´9

    He would easily beat Louis in terms of getting his cheek on the floor first!

    Yet Louis went through Carnera like he was wet tissue paper, nine months after his professional debut!

    Louis would KO Fury.

    It is easier to look slick against 40 year old Klitschko, than it is against prime Joe Louis, no?

    Joe was a phenom for his size. No boxer who ever lived is impenetrable to Joe Louis punching power. From the tiniest, up to Valuev. Thank god we have the Carnera and Baer fights to make that argument moot.

    Tyson Fury would be a big fight for Louis. Fury would be a contender for the belt, so that alone means there is a realistic possibility of Joe losing, just like there is in any top level bout.

    But the "smart pick" is Joe Louis, definite KO.

    You can't say it actually because no one has seen the full fight and quite a few press ringside voted for Louis.

    Another point to take into account is that Louis was definitely past his best.
