How dare people say Joe Louis would have been knocked out by Mike Tyson?

Tyson would KO him in the mid rounds

Elaborate please how would this happen?

It's all just opinions. None of what is said on these forums will ever matter because we'll never find out the answers. There is no reason to get offended.

Louis would get out muscled and out sped, Tyson was a lethal finisher, there wouldn't be any flash KD late round rallies here. Louis doesn't have the defense to survive just as we saw in the schmeling fight, taking the same shot over and over again and not adapting.

Why are You judging from the first schmeling fight? the reason he was eating those right hands was because of the dropping of the left hand- a mistake he would go on to correct, a prime Louis did not make those mistakes, therefore Louis does have the defense to avoid Tyson and tie him up. And how exactly would he be outsped? surely not in handspeed, and if ur talking about footspeed Louis only struggled with fighters who moved away from him, Tyson would be coming straight at him, would be getting his jabs parried, his arms tied up, his jaws eating uppercuts, and he would be getting brutally counterpunched.

Joe Louis has more power than Tyson.

Based on what?

The same question could be asked of those who assert the opposite.

It's not the assertion itself, but his lack of any attempt at an argument that prompted my post.

Tyson fans make assertions like that all the time without any attempt at backing it up.....they just take it as a given, then are all shocked and butthurt when they get called on it.

I know. I've called them out on it before.
