    Schmeling stopped some very durable fighters - Uzcudun, Stribling, Hamas, Risko and Louis.

    What did Joe Louis say about running? you can run,,,,,but ya can't hide. Bottom line is Louis knocked Conn out, in my cozy world he knocks out Spinks

    I believe Louis would likely beat Michael Spinks as well. I just don't think it's a slam dunk based on the success Conn had. Jersey Joe used movement as well to arguably beat Joe although at that point Louis was getting older.

    We were talking about Michael not Leon. Although I would not count an in shape and off the booze Leon out against Max either. Max would be the smart money because you never knew which Leon was going to show up.

    I don't know if you could say "without a doubt", especially when talking about Schmeling. Johansson stopped Machen and Patterson and Schmeling stopped Joe Louis. They both can potentially beat Michael.
