Lennox Lewis vs Joe Louis?????

[GhostofDempsey]

Lewis is a difficult HW to measure in these mythical match-ups. Yes, he suffered KO losses to the likes of McCall (who was a good puncher and had one of the best chins in boxing), and Rahman. McCall was never knocked off his feet despite some of the monsters he fought at HW, and Lewis was the only man to stop him inside the distance. Lewis redeemed himself with KO wins over both opponents who defeated him. For those who think Lewis had a suspect chin, he also took some of the best punches from sluggers like Tua, Vitali, Morrison, Mercer, Bruno, Tyson, Tucker, and others.

To suggest that Louis would struggle with Lennox's size advantage is unfounded. Louis fought big men before...Buddy Baer and Carnera ware 6'6", Simon over 6'4". Granted they weren't great boxers, but he didn't have a difficult time with their size or power. Joe was only 3" shorter than Lennox, but would have given up about 30+ pounds. Of the two, Louis was the slicker boxer at his best, and a superior counter puncher. If the fight goes 15 rounds, I have to favor Louis by a close decision. I could also see this being a trilogy where Louis takes 2 of 3. Both of them are great HW champions who fought whoever was put in front of them in their respective era and I don't think we should disparage either one of them in some silly mythical match up.

The problem is never would go past 1 and never would need to be a trilogy just for it to happen each time and why did you say the names joe beat when they was trash compared why do you crazy people do that why compare trash names and why always say that dumb quote how he beat big without putting in how they moved or the skill level its odd oh its cause you know they moved like trash and was trash on a skill level compared

Oh I play college basketball and I play my family sometimes and I make them look so bad well its easy to do with people who aren't in college thats the same as your doing saying something useless like he beat big without saying how they moved and the skill level stop using dumb quotes make yourselves look like idiots

its like dumb why not just say the obvious joe would lose by ko he never would land its so obvious he wouldn't I dont even think he would take the match
