    Have you seen the movie Pleasantville?

    Everything actually went perfectly in black and white, albeit a mundane existence.

    As with Louis in glorious black and white, it must’ve got quite boring seeing prime Joe knocking all and sundry out.

    Back to Pleasantville. When colour came it got all messy with the expression of mushy feelings and all the human frailties and flaws that go along with same. They couldn’t even sink each and every hoop anymore. Suffice to say, not a good turn of events for the more serious sport of boxing.

    Ah, for the good ol’ days of B &W again.

    I tend to think of these as Tyson steps out of the time machine into the ring with the opponent who has no knowledge of him.

    Done THAT way, he's my H2H favorite against anyone.

    Here, trying to be logical, giving Joe fair knowledge, I bet on him finding a way.

    I have a hard time betting against Luis or Ali.

    Tyson would KO him, Louis threw some good combinations, but was stiff and very flat footed and didn’t have the size to stand his ground, if obese Tony Galento can drop him, Tyson would end him quickly, a 205lbs man without mobility would not work in today’s heavyweight division with people who are like 240lbs and 6’4 on average, a small heavyweight today is 220lbs, and that is a lot bigger than Louis and he didn’t have mobility to compensate

    its no way to be logical with a man who would be like a lw with mike and who was way outdated in movement the logical answer is mike by destruction unless you think of Louis as being modern which he wasnt

    Look at all the haters forgetting to reply to the thread and dissing Mike like no other fighter alive. Hilarious.

    Louis NEVER fought anyone like Mike Tyson. EVER. EVER EVER EVER. EVER.

    You know I've always leaned a bit towards Tyson in this hypothetical matchup, that he'd catch Louis cold early. But after seeing who some of the posters are who are picking Tyson I'm second guessing myself and may be converted by your post,,,lol!

    What exactly is your point?

    Yes, as a student of boxing history, Tyson would be embarrassed by some of his supporters!
