Can't believe he has a nickname similar to the great Joe Louis, but anyway who'd win, Joe Louis vs Chicken Legs Wilder?
His nickname was an ode to his you idiot, out of respect. Joe Louis but it would be a very good fight, one that would last a good 10 rounds maybe. Wilder could win too, let's not count him out.
Wilder would be counted out here and for good reason. Louis is one of the greats, and had more than enough pop to catch this crude glass jawed joke and sent him down to the canvas early. Louis within 3. Against some of the bigger, and SKILLED heavyweights of modern times like the Klitschkos, and Lennox I don't like Joe's chances, but boy oh boy does he do a number on Wilder.
This. He may get lumped by the right a few times on the way in but that isn't deterring Joe. Whereas his first land punch is going to deter Wilder, from consciousness, for a good long time. On the bright side, they had smelling-salts on hand back in those days. On the downside, however, they didn't have MRI technology..
Honestly, clear Joe Louis KO in a matter of a couple rounds maybe even with the first clean combination. No exaggeration.
Bronze Bomber might be able to land a big one on Joe's mandible and knock him through the ropes like Marciano did. But that's going to be a hard feat for Bronze Bomber. I agree Joe has the upper hand here. It will be a tough matchup for both men.
Joe's chin wasn't rock solid, but Wilder doesn't hit as hard as advertised, and his lack of punch resistance is now obvious to most. Louis shatters me within a round, tops. :hey
One of the more lopsided polls I've seen on this site - and rightfully so. Louis would shatter Wilder's glass jaw, early.
