Has boxing evolved enough for a novice like Itauma to beat an all time great from a very ancient bygone era or would Joe Louis find Itaumas glass chin early
Moses is 20 and has had 12 pro fights. Way to early to make any educated judgments on him vs all-time legends.
Louis via murder, it has not evolved even a little anyone who says Louis is “primitive” is a MORON and shouldn’t be taken seriously he’s what boxers today of all weights should aspire to Inoue is actually almost as skilled and fundamental, just a few refinements and he’d be a little Joe Louis. Louis is a giant and would beat the **** out of every heavyweight in history with few survivors and that includes Ali.
Even if boxing has evolved as much as track & field since the 1930s, Jesse Owens would still beat most novice sprinters once you adjust for the track, IIRC. So I don't think someone as new to boxing as Itauma wins due to progress.
Itauma gives him problems early He's big, fast, sharp and also a southpaw (a kind of boxers Joe Louis DESPISED) However that would lead him nowhere, as The Brown Bomber is the superior boxer in every way imaginable first 4 rounds probably go to Moses, as Louis adapts and sets up a big right hand KO.
Too early for Itauma, Itauma has never fought someone on the level of Louis' raw power, for now I have to choose Louis but that may change in the future...
I like what I have seen of Moses Itauma so far. We may learn more about him in his next fight. As for now, he is not ready to go in against a prime Joe Louis, or even an older, but still active, Joe Louis, in my opinion.
12 pro fights against uhhhhhh and only 24 amateur fights all against opponents with no more than 8 or 9 fight records
Come on. You know the answer to this question. Every single person does. When you watch films of Louis does boxing look like it evolved. If anything today's Heavys look like they were never taught half of what Louis knew
