Prime for Prime: Mike Tyson .Vs. Joe Louis

Mike Tyson by early knockout..

 

Louis comes of the canvas to KO Tyson in the 5th in one of the greatest hw fights ever.

 

Tyson was way to fast.hit way to hard .had a better defense and was all around just a better fighter

 

:rofl :rofl
i think tyson would beat louis but in no way is he a better fighter

 

Tyson tko mid rounds

 

No idea. I think Louis just might be too easy to hit to survive a early Tyson barrage.

 

with that you disqualified yourself completly from that discussion. Ner saw that one coming. I´m a bit shocked :admin

 

50/50 fight to me. Tyson with the somewhat better chin (in taking bombs, not accumulative punishment) and perhaps defense early on, but Louis is a machine who doesn't slow down, never gets dis encouraged and always keep coming.

 

Tyson TKO 6/7.

Too much speed & power, Louis had it aswell, but not on the level of Tyson. I don't think he would survive the Tyson onslaught.

 

Louis has his shaky moments in the beginning but comes back to knock Tyson out sometime in the mid to late rounds.
Louis KO9 Tyson

 

Tyson by early KO. Louis lacked the defense needed to stand up to Tyson's early barrage.

 

I'm leaning this way, as well.

 

I would pick Louis here because on paper he has the ideal style to beat Tyson with the right fight plan.

Honestly though this would be a nightmare fight to predict if it were happening tomorrow. We are matching perhaps the two most devastating punchers of all time and they are both going to have to stand in harms way to get the job done.

While I rate the punch resistance of both men verry highly I wouldnt bet on anybodys chin holding up against either of them. One well placed combination could turn the fight either way or end it.

Honestly anything could happen.

 

wouldn't agree on the chins i would say tyson is a few levels above louis when it comes to chin. Tyson isn't a guy to be dropped by a one of shot or even a combo he needs to be beaten down before it starts to crack.
