Joe Louis vs both Klitschkos

kendom

So saw this thread on ESB and decided to take it over to the history section. How would Louis do against both Klitschkos, would he beat both, lose to one and not the other?. Personally I think he beats both.

I think it's a closer fight with Wlad, who is both faster and dosen't do dumb **** like holding his right hand low.

But they both lean back from punches, and can't fight backing up. Which I see as being a bit of a problem facing one of the most complete offensive fighters in history.

It seems unfair For Joe to fight both.

But seriously, I believe Louis had the skills to beat either, so I agree.

IMO Joe Louis could fight and beat both of the Klitschko's on the same night.

I understand everyone has an opinion and all, but how on earth would he beat Vitali with the size difference, etc? I mean he would have a shot at Wlad because he is semi-chinny, but Vitali? No way.

You don't know anything about boxing. Neither Klitschko is going to beat any of the ATG heavies of the past from Dempsey, to Marciano, to Frazier, Ali, Louis, Tyson, etc...

It just wouldn't happen. As a matter of fact, all the guys I mentioned could fight and beat both brothers in the same night.

Because Joe Louis can slip under Vitali's range like a small fighter and pulverize the left side of that face like Lewis did.

Joe Louis was a lot more precise than Lennox, so I give him about 5 rounds to get the job done.
