    Joe Louis liked to set up punches from men who were to afraid to challenge his power. It seems like George Foreman (no matter how amazing Joe was) would run right through Joe Louis and knock him out within four rounds. Any thoughts?

    Louis chin would probably be his downfall but it would be a interesting fight

    I see a similar dismantling that Joe Fraizer recieved, probably quicker.

    Stop with the blasphemy! Louis was a beautiful HW and Foreman didn't have boxing skills at all. I would rather see Louis jabbing and connecting right hands than to see George and Lyle slugging it out and to answer your question, think about Jimmy Young and Foreman...And Joe Louis.

    Foreman is made for Louis on paper.

    Its fun to think about. I favor Foreman but not enough to be confident about it.

    Yes Louis would not be able to hurt George nor would his chin hold up to Georges power

    Yes, Foreman would be too big and powerful for Louis.

    Foreman is to wide open for Louis' pinpoint accuracy and power. Louis by tko in 4.

    George Foreman beats the **** outta him, Joe Louis was dropped and hurt by lesser fighters with heavy hands.

    :lol:

    How open Foreman was in his prime + Louis's accuracy and combos

    might equal a K.O.

    I'm not 100% percent sure but to say Louis can't hurt him. :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
