    Louis vs
    Razor Ruddock
    Bonecrusher Smith
    Mike Weaver
    Frank Bruno
    Hasim Rahman
    Gary Mason

    All 6 are going back in time to fight Louis between 1939 and 1941. Could Louis go 6-0 vs this bunch?

    They would be punchers of the past afterward. All extinct.

    6-0 easily.

    Ruddock's telegraphed smash would lead to Louis landing quick rights over it. Ruddock might score one knockdown but i doubt it.

    The rest lose easily, perhaps scoring 1-2 flash knockdowns in total.

    I would pick Louis to beat all of those men. He might get decked or staggered by one or two of them though

    Remember, Bruno gave a hard fight to Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman stopped Lennox Lewis.
