    Zhang goes back in time to 1940 and challenges Joe Louis. Will Zhang do Louis like he did Wilder?

    Zhang doesn't have anything for Louis, a single body jab from The Brown Bomber would have him on the ground gasping for the least amount of oxygen.

    Louis takes a trip to the canvas, gets up and batters the **** of Zhang’s body before finishing him sometime before the seventh.

    Louis would be way too fast. I can see him getting to the inside quickly and using his combinations to batter the body and head of Zhang. Joe might get hit with a few big shots along the way.

    Actually Louis did a pretty good job of annihilating the giants. It was the fast slicksters and tricksters that gave him a bit more trouble

    No. And I don’t think he would have had an easy time with wilder had that fight happened a few years earlier

    Joe Louis went right back up, more like a rope issue or he simply slipped through them

    Louis like Tyson did not depend on his size for his style… he would light Zhang up inside with short punches upstairs and down stairs.

    It really is amazing.

    Less than two years ago, people here were starting threads pitting Zhang against Foreman and Ali and some individuals were picking Zhang to win !! Amazing how a couple abrupt losses can change perception real fast. This is why you don’t start threads matching a flash in the pan with ATG’s
