Muhammad Ali or Joe Louis?

[sleazyfellow]

hard but i would say louis cause i dont think ali would be able to not get caught in 20 rounds and once he does get caught its all over.

prob not, I dont think a prime ali would get caught in 20 rounds by louis, but like i said i prefer joe anyways cause of his finishes....but even if he caught ali its not like ali would stand there hurt to catch another, a prime ali has the fastest feet. He had the feet to be fleetfooted.

Yea but we aren't talking about Dempsey, we are talking about Joe Louis.

Dempsey was ahead of his time, Tyson took his style even further.

yeah but when did the boxer puncher style become out of date

You mean brawling? Probably after the 50's.

The new punchers style involves more footwork and speed.

Have you ever seen Louis Fight he by no means was a brawler

He's not as much of a brawler as say, Marciano, but Louis is hardly a modern spectacle of elite boxing. He lacks speed, his power is good but his defense is horrible.

watch a Holyfield fight then watch Louis fight, they are both "punchers" however Louis is much, much slower and has no footwork at all.

BTW even in his last fight Marciano said Louis' punches were so fast he couldnt see them comeing

Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali are the top 3 Greatest Heavyweights of all time! You could argue for days on end who'd be your top 3 but these guys belong there without any doubt. Hot on their heels would be Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Rocky Marciano, Harry Greb, Jersey Joe Walcott, Young Mike Tyson and Ezzard Charles.

I'd say his hand speed is somewhere along the line of a young Tyson.
