Do you think Deontay Wilder is even worthy of being compared to Joe Louis yet?

It’s not that Wilder hasn’t wanted to fight the best, we now see how avoided he truly is. Most promoters won’t let the fighter & face that kind of danger. I view Wilder as the hardest 1-punch heavyweight ever. And yes, I grew up watching Mike Tyson.

^I wouldn't know about that. I can't see how he'll face tougher competition than Louis did. I think going undefeated at hw is a huge accomplishment in itself and imagine beating marciano and Floyd’s record while he’s at it. Fury and Joshua would solidify his competition.

It is a little early and I also never heard anyone comparing him to joe Louis but with that said when his career is done he will be above Louis on the goat list. ^I wouldn't know about that. I can't see how he'll face tougher competition than Louis did.

It's a totally different era. But Louis accomplished a lot more than Wilder ever will. It's sad that the IRS screwed Joe as badly as they did. Being from the Detroit area, I know firsthand how much of a legend the man was. He deserved better than that.

Joe Louis was much better in my opinion. Guys Louis beat like Schmeling, Walcott and Charles would beat Wilder in my opinion. Louis would never let Stiverne go 12 rounds with him. Louis would never need 9 rounds to beat Molina and would KO Molina in a round or two. Louis would never need 11 rounds to KO Duhaupas and would also KO him in 4 rounds or less. Louis KOed Carnera, 6 foot 6 inches 260 pounds of lean muscle and Buddy Baer, 6 foot 6 inches 250 lean pounds. He defended the heavyweight world title successfully a record 25 times.Louis is generally considered on of the 2 or 3 greatest heavyweights of all time. That doesn't mean you have to agree with that but I do.
