Would Joe Louis have stopped George Chavalo

Ray.

it means that in historic terms joe louis was one of the smallest heavyweights ever to be a longtime champ,,,

he doesnt possess the power of a foreman, tyson or lewis,,,,

Its a fact,, he beat some big guys, but none were very skilled and i think louis would outpoint chavulo but not stop him,, much like roy jones outpointed ruiz but he wasnt going to stop him

Im pretty sure if Louis and Louis drilled each other with hooks at the same time Louis might fall to a knee, but Lewis would be sleepin.

Louis is one of the biggest punchers ive seen despite his stature.

TKO. Nobody ever put Chuvalo's lights out and I seriously doubt anybody could. He ends up taking a bad beating from Louis and gets rescued by the ref.

Just like punchers are born so are some men you could hit with a Mac truck and damage the truck, I think Chavlo was the latter.

Louis by tko but Chavalo is still on his feet.

I'd pick Louis inside the distance. Too much difference in skills and power. Chuvalo was butchered by Frazier and bludgeoned by Forman before half way through their fights. He would have gone down if they hadn't been stopped.

You might be underestimating how hard Louis actually hit, his power was very much held in terrific esteem....the films hold up to scrutiny too.

Weight really doesn't always factor, I don't doubt that Dempsey and Baer hit like trains. David Haye has excellent power despite being a small and comparatively light 'heavyweight'.

yeah, once guys get over that 180lb mark the ones that can really crack can often punch way above their actual weight, meaning they can deliver blows comaprable to what a dude weighing 250 might be able to deliver. I mean its not as clear cut as that, but Ive seen some smallish HW's 190-210lbs be able to level guys weighing 250 and punch as hard as them

I've seen too many huge guys who couldn't bust an egg with a hammer and too many small guys that could put holes through concrete to put any stock in weight = punching power.

TKO, just imagine the end fight from Raging Bull.

yeah i would agree,, i thought about it, and yes louis woulndt ko him, but def has a shot to have a ref stoppage.. That is a very plausible and most likely scenario to happen

Having a great chin isn't always a good thing: Sometimes it means you take a brutal battering that a weaker chinned fighter would have been sparred.

No i dont think so,,, Louis was barely 200 lbs,, he would win but i doubt he would stop him

How much do you think Joe Frazier weighed when he stopped Chuvalo?
