    I don't think it's a given that Louis hit harder than Sanders tbh. I just can't see Louis getting in position to land a meaningful shot. The only result I see is a Wlad knockout.

    Size isn't equal to power

    Louis has better punching technique and the torc on his punches is phenomenal

    Going on video evidence haye has better foot and hand speed and his head movement was quick against wlad

    Who said it was size? I'm still not sold on Louis hitting harder. Sanders' left down the pipe was a nasty shot.

    On video footage Haye certainly has faster single shots.

    His left cross down the pipe was lethal but louis has power in every shot

    I feel overall louis hits slightly harder taking nothing away from sanders

    One thing I don't rate about louis is his speed

    It's not a question of power though, it's landing the shots that would make it difficult for Joe.

    Wlad gauges the distance better then most other boxers in history I feel that Wlad's jab and defensive clinching ability nullifies joe's attacks and wlad would most likely ko him before 8 rounds

    The same jokers here picking Louis to beat Wlad are also picking Lewis to beat Valuev.

    As if either could beat someone that much heavier than they.

    The truth is Louis never met anybody with the size and skills of Wlad and Lewis never met anyone that big full stop. It's all guesswork I'm afraid but I know who would be the bookies favourite of the pair.

    Lewis, if we're on about Lennox, would annihilate Valuev.
