1 Billion:I think Joe Louis would have beaten Muhammad Ali

[kendom]

Prime Ali is a terrible match-up for Louis. As long as he stays mobile I think he boxes his way to a decision. Prime Louis vs. the older, comeback Ali is a more interesting fight.

Hve you read my arguments in this thread refuting this statement?

I completely disagree with them, so there's no refutation. Sorry, you weren't able to run over everybody Ali might not dominate, but he'd sure as hell win.

I think they were both legends and find it disrespectful to put either of them below another boxer

Conversly, I'm VERY fond of Floyd Patterson.....I just don't think he was good enough at Heavyweight to be considered ATG calibre. A very good fighter, a near-great if you will, just not good enough to be placed with the elites of the division. Now if he just stayed at Light-Heavy.....

Would you say that was mainly due to his size and punch durability?

I think Floyd was too small in teh bones to be a heavy weight. He won Olympic gold at middle weight. His size was not ideal for heavy weight. And not many middles or light heavies can take punch from full blown heavies, with massive skeletons. All in all Floyd was better suited for light heavy.

You might say Floyd's punch resistance at Heavy was.....lacking. Couple that with a very short reach and there's a big problem.
