    Depends.

    Louis would be going up against an elite athlete, much bigger than himself, and one that has atomic power in both hands AND can be mentioned in conversation about who has the best jab, hardest left hook and hardest right hand... Ever.

    Joe is an animal, period. But his style would not be a good one to go against Wladimir with.

    Wlad more often than not. The straight right is too good.

    The best Louis right hand probably thrown as the final punch of a 4-5 punch combination knocks Wlad out. Joe just too great and Wlad chin and heart too fragile.

    The thing in Louis's favour is his superior timing, infighting and patience.

    The thing in Wlad's favour is lenient referees.

    Honestly, if he's allowed to clinch anytime someone gets close, he's night unbeatable.

    I think the match up favors wlad.
    Louis is not exactly a pressure fighter, more of a stalker with slow feet, and wlad just doesn't take any risks, he would jab him to death from the outside, land a right hand when he sees the opening and tie him up inside easily cause he's much bigger and stronger.
    Ofcourse louis has a punchers chance

    It would not take the last punch of the combination, believe me!

    Wlad would only ever be one mistake away from oblivion!

    Total mismatch,,,Klitchko wins easy. Not worth over thinking something this obvious.

    This has nothing to do with Wlad being anything. Wlad's power is overrated. He has a glass chin. But guess what? Joe Louis power is overrated and he has a even worse chin. Wlad was only hurt by true modern sized heavyweights. Joe Louis got hurt by blown up middle weights like Billy Conn who couldn't punch at his own weight class.

    Wladimir by savage first round KO.

    I would have liked your comment however theres nothing overatted about Wlads power ,hes a top 3 puncher of all time . His chin is not the best but as you said we are comparing real HW's here in a sense . I have always sparred guys over 225 weighing as low as 150 and can tell you the punchs were different (though i hit harder ) but point is ive fought pros before some who hit harder than Wilder but its no shame getting k.od (never was ) .my friend fought Wilder years ago but had trouble absorbing HW shots ,he had a pretty good chin,had a better one shot power than Wilder at that time ,but lets face it you can either eat a shot or you cant , my opinion is if Wlads Mentally on he will(not from Joshua ) but sometimes it is mental ,sometimes genetic tbh .
