Quite honestly, who knows? You should look at this video of Louis vs Carnera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oQsLrUxDPA
Perhaps it will help you come to some conclusion.

--- Niko fought internationally promoted as a freak and always Whooped the hometown fav, usually by KO.
That he held a title and was highly respected at the beginning of the Eastern Euro takeover of the heavy division by being highly ranked for a decade speaks to his formidable attributes.
Like Wilt succinctly noted, nobody roots for Goliath, hence this thread. He would dwarf Primo who previously set the Goliath panto faint hearts into a tizzy.

I don’t find this a silly thread, as I’m a firm believer of that athletes have developed thru the years.
A 2006 version of Valuev against a 1942 version of Louis, and I had gladly paid some PPV bucks to watch it.
Louis 1942 vs Valuev existing 1942, or Valuev 2006 vs Louis existing 2006, it’s a different story.

I'd certainly pay to see Louis, one of boxings hardest punching sharpshooters land full force 4 and 5 punch combinations. It would be a spectacular knockout. Values may be able to take a single punch from Louis but not 4-5 consecutive power punches. Valuev would not have the capability in any way to stop these blows.
