Louis vs Tyson

Lots of knockouts, Louis doing 7-8 out of ten of them.

 

After about five fights they would both be broken down old men.

Louis would do better as the series progresed.

 

Call me crazy, but I have watched just about every former champion in some way on tape, and I dont see any one of them I would favor over the best Tyson. He was just too fast too explosive and too hard to hit cleanly at his best. That doesnt mean Tyson wins every time, but I would favor him over anyone.

 

Young Tyson would slaughter Louis.

 

I agree. I think either Prime Holmes or Ali would have the best chance.

 

I don't think Lewis had a bad chin by any means.....but him being K.O'd near his Prime (whereas Ali and Holmes recovered and went on to win when they were decked) makes me think he might not last.

Hope all that makes sense :good

 

Tyson was better than Joe Louis. He would knock him out easily.

 

I dont think that Holmes would ever have beaten Tyson to be honest.

Not mobile enough.

Toget onto the subject of the thread I would pick Louis on the basis that he is more likley to deliver when the chips are down.

 

i think Louis can win this fight but it needs to be a 15 rounder i dont think he can win a 12 rounder

he has to cover up from Tysons early 4 round assualt then he can outbox him and outfight him in the later rounds as Tyson aint so good in the later rounds

but i think Tyson would floor him in the first 4 and win them so big he wins a 12 rounder on the 10 point must system but in a 15 rounder oon a rounds basis Louis wins convincly

 

For all of louis punching power and hand speed he was quite fragile. His chin was only c-grade and he wouldn't be able to take too many of tysons blows. He was also slow of foot so he wouldn't be able to move away from tyson once hurt.

Combine this with the fact that louis was no defensive wizard and it spells a short night for the "brown bomber".

 

yeah, tyson had a much better chin then lous. when they exchange punches, tyson has the advantage.

 

I don't see Louis winning. His durability wasn't a problem but it wasn't his strong point either, I see Tyson getting the better of the exchanges due to his superior power, speed, and chin and winning by a KO in about 6.

Great fight though and like some people have already said, Louis was better the more times he fought you. In a series, him winning a fight isn't far fetched.

 

Louis takes him out around 11.
