Most of the above would beat Louis. And if Conn can whip him (which he essentially did) then a host of smaller boxers also have an excellent chance.
Walcott went the same way. Yea don't bring up no first fight crap, Louis got screwed, caught between the NYSAC and NBA shenanigans, he wasn't allowed to get mentally or physically ready for that fight. When he was ready (II) Walcott went the way of Conn. Looked great for eight rounds but couldn't take it to the finish line.
I suspect everyone on your list, on any given night, could beat Louis (I can't speak to the pre-Dempsey fighters Corbett and Johnson, that style of fighting puzzles me, I can't envision them beating a modern fighter, i.e. post-Dempsey). But I'll bet you would never bet big money against Louis with any of those names, because you know on any given night Louis could stop any of them as well.
Tunney looks to be the most consistent and worth a bet (maybe Clay too). Technique as good as Conn and Walcott (without the flash) and big enough to look Louis eye to eye, and not a risk taker. Tunney I might bet on, the others all too risky.
Also we don't want to look at the Joe Barrow who fought Charles and Walcott (post war), we want to look at the "Jungle Cat" of '37 to 1940.Last edited by Willie Pep 229; 01-25-2022, 12:46 AM.Willow The Wisp likes this.

I can tell you that I actually know a few of those guys whose names you've thrown around in the last string of posts, and none of them would say they'd have beaten Joe Fin Louis with a strait face, though I'm guessing some might appreciate your vote of confidence. Boxing isn't like the team sports. It has not evolved a stitch since the 30s and 40s.Willow The Wisp likes this.
