Prime Louis would beat Tyson

[Stoppage]

Sure, in your wet Joe Louis wanking dreams perhaps, you bloody typical nuthugger.

Joe Louis was hurt, staggered and knocked down by some of the worst bums ever and by much lesser fighters. His china porcelain ****ty chin would not hold up, unlike Tyson who was target practise for giant Lennox' right hand for 7 rounds. Louis would have to KO the lad which isn't gonna happen like that, and he would get ko'd himself by opeining up because Tyson himself is one of the most accurate and powerful punchers ever.

Even though this is a discussion and I like people's opinions, you're clearly a Joe Louis hater so I don't count yours. And I'm not Tyson hater either. I happen to think he's one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time in his prime.

In response to those who said Tyson would come out fast and back Louis up, I can't argue on that. But Louis was way more accurate than Tyson. Louis would hit Tyson hard and that would have an effect. Tyson was wobbled before by much lesser opponents.

Your argument is that Tyson was hurt by lesser opponents than bumbeater, when I could probably give you a whole list of bums that fookin knocked Louis down or wobbled him. If that is your logic your are contradicting yourself because clearly you would pick Tyson if you believe that logic, mate.

And how is Louis "way more accurate"?? They are both damn near the most accurate punchers ever. You are acting like you're comparing Louis to young Foreman or something.

I'm not saying Louis wasn't hurt or knocked down. Quite the opposite. It's just by the way you're talking, you're acting like Tyson can't be hurt by Louis when in fact Tyson was hurt by lesser opponents. I'm just saying Louis can do the damage to Tyson if he lands his punches.

And you can believe Tyson was more accurate than Louis but I stand by my opinion. I'm sure most historians would be on my side.

Louis can't fight going backwards and Tyson would have him backing up.

Tyson is bigger,stronger,faster,and hits harder.

Tyson starts out so fast in the opening rounds.How would Louis's suspect chin hold up against Tyson's heavy bombs,which are much harder than anyone ever hit Louis with.

Tyson had 15-20 pounds on Louis as well.

I see Tyson coming out fast,and backing Louis up and taking him out in the early rounds,probably round one.

How could Louis beat Tyson? His only chance is to stand up to Tyson,and throw his beatiful array of combinations.Hoping to catch Tyson,and hurt him and then jump all over him for the KO.But I would put the odds about 5-1 against this.

I like this post, just the attribute differences alone are crazy.

Landing consistently on a prime Tyson was very hard to do due to how low he went. Just the facts, of course it can be done but what are the odds of him catching Tyson with a COMBO. There have been numerous combos that Tyson took to down him. Just something I see hard to do, but it could given the circumstances.

We're arguing wether Louis could KO Tyson or not. It's irrelevant if Louis could hurt him, obviously they're both human. But how is he going to do that when he's a bit of a slow starter and doesn't fight backwards either, Tyson one of the fastest starters ever. Louis has a ****, china, porcelain, borderline paper chin, and Tyson a granite one. Tyson great defense, Louis is mr low left hand. Louis knocked down and hurt by bums, Tyson pounded for ages by hard punchers before going down. Just use your fookin head mate, don't listen to biased old historians. Everything says Tyson by brutal KO over bumbeater. Styles make fights.

However, Joseph would surely KO his ex wife though. Read my sig lad. Your hero.

ive seen quite a few louis fights and while i love his punching power, his chin was absolutely terrible especially in the start of fights....combined with tyson being one of the best finishers ever i say this fight ends brutally for louis...bad style matchup...

Although Mike Tyson might have a good punchers chance of beating Louis, he had a particularly short prime & with the exceptions of Holyfield & Lewis, never fought anyone remotely as good as Louis..

Tillis, Ruddock, Douglas, Ribalta were all just as chinny as Louis, yet all with the exception of Ribalta, who lasted until the 10th, were able to take Tyson's best shots.. Tony Tucker & Bonecrusher Smith, very average champs, quite comfortably lasted the course with a prime Tyson, with Smith having even slower feet than Louis..

It's all very well to say that Louis gets bombed out early, or it's a bad style match up, but we know that you don't need particularly good footwork to beat Tyson and if he felt Joe's power on the way in, he might panic & start to cheat..

One thing Louis would not be is scared, & Tyson relied on this a lot.. Louis was cold & emotionless in the ring, & I believe this would also affect the mentally fragile Tyson..
Far more fragile than Louis's underrated chin, which Mike would have to connect with more than once, to knock him down..

My money would be on Louis by mid rounds stoppage, but Tyson had enough raw power to take out anyone early & would certainly have a good punchers chance during the first 4 rounds..

Stickey Mickey, another notorious Louis nuthugger runs his mouth.

Tony Tucker fights nothing like Louis. He is a bad styles mismatch for Tyson and fights on the outside with his jab. That is why he lasted.

Smith held on the entire fight. He is a huge wanker, and smallish Louis is not going to man handle Tyson like that.

Ruddock has a superior chin compared to mr "Ï get knocked down by bums like Galento because i'm so fookin ****ty chinned". He took huge bombs against Tyson and survived. Louis is never going to do that.

bumbeater gets knocked down within seconds, stopped viciously in minutes.,

Oh so it's the old "Tyson has no heart, mental mental mental". Guess what, Louis relied on his oppponents being scared as well. In fact Baer was ****ting himself worse than Spinks was.
with more than once, to knock him down..

My money would be on Louis by mid rounds stoppage, but Tyson had enough raw power to take out anyone early & would certainly have a good punchers chance during the first 4 rounds

Good job impressing your bumbeater friends. They must be so proud of you.
