Foreman-Louis 4th and last quarter final.:)

Louis by late rd stoppage.

Foreman KO 10

Hard pick
I think Louis would outbox him or Foreman would ko Louis....

I guess Louis has the better chance
yeah i'll take Louis

This is the toughest match of this round! I'm torn because George should have been the greatest champion of all time given his natural gifts. But he wasn't. On the other hand Louis was certainly among the greatest champions of all times. But he did get knocked down by much smaller punchers than George...

geez, I dunno...:puppy_dog

I'm going to have to mull and see what others say before voting on this one...

could actually go either way, I'd say Louis had the style to beat the big blokes with a hard punch. Maybe Foreman's power and strength overwhelms Louis or maybe Louis's pin point accuracy and deadly combinations punishes George.
Louis was knocked down by Buddy Baer, Tony Galento and Jimmy Braddock during his prime years. Foreman knocked guys down a lot and when they got up he was always straight back on them and I think he would do the same to Louis. George isn't a technical master like Schmeling but he is a destroyer and there is always a danger fighting guys like him.

I'd say it's 50/50 ............

The young George was a terrible boxer, slow, inaccurate, no stamina or skills whatsoever. Just a big man who was strong as a Guerilla and had sledgehammers on the end of his arms.

Louis picks him appart, gets rid of him by the 15th round.

See I was thinking along those lines as well but Louis was hurt and had tough times against slow, crude, terrible boxers. Mostly guys who weren't anyway near comparable to George's size and strength so thats why I have a tough time picking this one.

George is a beter boxer than people give him credit for. George Foreman is not Max Baer. Louis wouldn't know what to do with Foreman's power if he was rocked by Galento and Buddy Baer. Foreman takes him out in the mid rounds in a competitive fight.

George Foreman KO 7 Joe Louis:fing02:

Louis by close decision.

Louis' jab snaps Foremans head back, and his right cross takes it clean off.

I take Louis's offensive mastery and decent chin, over Foremans giant bombs and very poor defence.

joe louis by late stoppage around the 10th, after going down twice himself in the early rounds after getting caught by foreman's bombs. louis handspeed and perfect technique is too much for foreman. ali knocked foreman out, louis was a much harder puncher. the real greatest - joe louis barrow wins this fight

George Foreman was a human wreckingball in his heyday, and Joe Louis tasted more canvas than any other heavyweight champion in history. I understand why some pick Foreman to destroy Louis. I beg to differ how ever.

Joe Louis was a wonderful boxer-puncher, and threw every punch with perfection, speed and power. He never wasted a punch, his reflexes were superb and his timing incredible. His chin was not his biggest asset, but it was not as soft as some claim. When he went down, it was most often flash knockdowns, and he was back up at three. Of course, if Foreman connected with a series of punches, Louis would be in serious trouble... But I cannot see him being able to get to a prime, well-prepared Louis.

I see Louis block, duck, parry and counter Foremans telegraphed punches all night long to land his own short, crisp punches to the head and body. Foreman would pose a serious threat to Louis, but I am sure Louis would be aware of this, and thus make sure to avoid taking those thundering bombs. With his skill, reflexes and defensive abilities, I think he should be able to stay out of Big Georges reach. A perfectly skilled foe with speed and power is the wild, crude punchers worst nightmare, and I see Louis stopping Foreman by brutal knockout.

Joe Louis by ko9.

I think this is a tough call,Louis has the better skills by a distance and could well pick Foreman apart with his accurate shots forcing a late stoppage,but i have a feeling that Foreman would catch him and take him out in around 3 or 4 rounds.

I had to vote for Louis. Foreman had all the potential in the world but somehow didn't get it done. Louis faced constant adversity and always managed to overcome it.

The fight could well have gone either way...

I think whoever came out of this fight victorious would probably win the tournament.

Foreman edging it, last day today.:)

well unless there's a late surge for Joe Louis he could be out.:cool:

last day...........:)

all who voted for George must die.
