No , Good defense and footwork is just that. The guard, ducking , slipping punches, fast feet, and head movement are things that Louis is lacking in the films. We can all see.
Foreman would have no problem hitting Louis Really the best men that Louis fought in Walcott, Schemilmg , Charles, Marciano, the sub 170 pound Billy Conn all bettered Louis on the film on the scorecards.
In most cases the other opponents who Louis fought would be journeyman cruiser weights or light heavyweights today, or mildly skilled heavyweights just north of 200 pounds. Yeah , you could conjure up the names of Buddy Bear and Abe Simon as 240 pound men ... those guys would not be in the top 25 today!
Foreman fits none of the above.
