Apart from Holyfield, who was much smaller than Bowe, who of any class did he beat??? No One He was an overweight, overrated coward.
Uhm yes. Joe Calzaghe is the number 1 168 of all time. Doesn't mean he wouldn't get raped by a prime Roy Jones
Louis absolutley WOULD get past Klithko's jab, he was EXPERT at it. The overhand right is the punch. But Louis has very short, very hard punches which makes them, in real terms, much quicker than Klitchko's punches. Klit is big and strong and he has a chance, but i'd be confident that Louis would win.
Klitschko would jab Louis' eye shut over the first 7 or 8 rounds and goes to work over the last 4, bombing him out in the 10th or 11th. Wlad has one of the best jabs in HW history with Lennox and Holmes and it would be very difficult for Joe to get inside to land anything significant. Frustrating night for Louis.
Tough one. I can think of reasons why both could win. Klitschko has big height and reach advantages but his footwork isn't all that good so I can see Louis getting close to him. Louis is the best (hardest) short puncher I've ever seen, fantastic at throwing combinations and certainly has the punch to win by ko. I would tentatively pick klitschko to win
If Klitschko is so wonderful then why didn't he bounce Ross Puritty or Corrie Sanders the first round? :huh Any man can be beaten, and Klitschko is one of the easiest champions to beat in the history of the division. There is nothing that Puritty or Sanders can do that Louis couldn't do better.
I'd have to pick Klitshko head-to-head, but Louis was the sharpest puncher in the division's history, and had brutal power. If he landed cleanly, I don't see Klitshko staying up. The size advantage here is just too much, though. Both have the power to hurt the other, which will give you a clue as to how huge the gap is between these two in greatness, if one is about 6'0'' and 195lbs where as the other is 6'6'' and 250-260lbs.
