Tyson was more than just "a bit" past it in the Holyfield fight. He had a 4 year layoff, and fought less than seven rounds since.
The only 1 to have a 100 percent run, was perhaps Ray Robinson or Harry Greb?? Was going to say Louis, but he had WWII.
He beat Seldon a reining heavyweight champ. And top contender McKinely. Thats pretty good. And he blow em out in 1 round each.
What do you want more than being the Undisputed Heavyweight Chapion of the world? He was lucky, that fighters like Lewis, Bowe, Holyfield started their career a bit to late, otherwise I wouldn´t need to explain you things like that. With his 5´10 and his character (if it doesn´t fare how he wanted it, he never showed the real heart of a champion IMO) he reached his full potential...
Seldon took a dive, everybody knows that. McNeely was a media hype machine, and everybody should know that.:good
But Louis peaked before going to war, so I would say he reached his full potential as a fighter.:good
He would have had more title defenses, plus his defense would have tightened up and his punches even shorter. He would have improved as a fighter. P.S.- do you honestly think Bowe would have beaten him?
Maybe?? Maybe not, who knows what he could have done during the WWII years. I belive there was a lot more to go. Louis was about 26 or 27 when he enter the war. He might have jazz us even more by knocking out Tommy Farr in a rematch or something.
