    If Anthony Joshua was born in 1920 with the nutrition, workout equipment, lack of supplements, and with the trained tactics of that era, I think it's safe to say that almost all of Louis' many relevant opponents make it past round 2.

    Right now, no. I don't even think Joe Louis would do well against AJ. Not hyping AJ up - times change, people evolve and get better.

    I think it's hard to say. Joshua looks like a beast like Mike Tyson did early in his career.

    No it's not trolling,your saying fighters back then wer starved with lack of training,was this not a distinct advantage over opponents when Louis wasn't,no trolling involved it's asking u to explain your statement,I do actually agree with it to an extent

    Ha,well u have edited now 😂
    But nutrition and training wise,Louis had massive advantages over the poor fighters with poor lifestyles he was fighting against at the time

    No no no, I never edited anything my friend.

    That is exactly what I said, and your quoting of me proves that.

    EDIT: I'm one of few people who leave their post unmarked and add the word "EDIT:" as you see here.
