Usyk, while this point is used often, it's because it's true. Joe Louis' footwork would be a huge problem, Usyk would be maneuvering all night around Louis. It would look like a Billy Conn v Louis but more one sided.
Can't bring myself to click Usyk although that's probably the right answer Joe Louis was born in 1914 and was way ahead of his time. Usyk brings nothing new apart from he is the a rare breed following the lines of Evander Holyfield.
Usyk would embarrass Louis. An enormous gulf in ability and physicality. Eras should not be compared in this context.
Different eras and not a fair comparison. Also, Joe Louis is an American hero, way more than Ali, and I wouldn’t choose any fighter over him so I did not vote. Joe Louis was a true champion. I wouldn’t mention any current HW or current fighter in the same sentence. Usyk has the same level of bravery and has proven he will fight anyone anywhere. Can’t say the same for most modern fighters. The 0 on Usyk’s record was earned the hard way. Not by careful matchmaking and gift decisions.
