    The Brown Bomber vs the younger K2 Brother, Wladimir Klitchsko.

    Who wins and how tough a fight does the loser give the winner?

    I like Wlad in the mid rounds, and Louis in the late rounds.

    Best guess is Louis open defense, slower feet and limited height and reach means he's eating power jabs and hard right hands. While Louis's chin held up vs Farr and Conn, Wlad's power is three levels higher than theirs.

    Wlad in many ways it Schemling 2.0.

    I think Wladimir would knock Louis out cold. No Shame, they are both great fighters.

    Nah not at all. Why is a heavyweight with great power knocking another heavyweight clean out a stretch? It's what happens in boxing.

    Wlad shouldnt be allowed in the ring with someone who can slip his jab and move in to ko him, you just get Sanders all over again.but much faster.

    So to clarify, you're saying that Wlad would be the one to be stretched???

    there is no need to clarify, its there in black n white.

    Its pretty obvious, anyone who can box well and can hit is going to smoke thru wlads basic but wellhoned jab n grab and nothing else.

    1940 Louis vs. 2000 Klit? Maybe a Klit victory as many say.
    1940 Klit vs. 1940 Louis?
    2000 Louis vs. 2000 Klit?
    Brown Bomber sweeps table...

    You make it seem as if it would be Bob Foster/Mike Quarry all over again.

    Louis and Sanders are nothing alike.

    I'm convinced you don't watch the film. Anyone with a decent jab, Schmeling, Conn, Walcott, Farr, Charles, etc peppered Joe Louis.

    This is because he had slow shuffling feet, a low guard, and minimal head movement with a stick his chin forward stance. Watch and learn. Schemling, Charles, Conn, Farr and others are on you tube. Then comeback with a more educated opinion, if its possible with your bias.

    Wlad not only hit harder than the above guys, he also had a huge height and reach advantage and knew how to use it. Louis was often nailed by right hands. Wlad you know has a good one. And does Wlad get those 6 or 8 oz gloves too?

    I'm not saying Louis can't win, but I don't think his chin and defense are good enough to last, and he's small compared to Wlad.

    too right! they arent, sanders couldnt muster a title shot when prime, louis mustered 25 frekin defences.

    The only reason these two names have come together is becos you are warped enough to, in the context of sanders being better!
