Ali is the #1 HW of all time, Louis is the #2.

I think Ali proved over and over that he had the stuff to beat Louis. Louis was being out boxed by Conn (sp?) who was nothing in comparison to Ali.

Joe Louis was my dad's favorite fighter so I grew up watching clips and old videoes of him so I say the Brown Bomber was the GOAT. An arguement could be made either way between him and Ali.

Ali to tear him up with the constant use of his jab and he is going to use his reach to his advantage.

[msagrain]

id say louis as the he was pure class the only thing tho is louis images is tainted by his last fight because the us goverment forced him to fight when he was way past his prime.

Muhammed ali would kick Louis' ass, enough said.

You can't compare an old brawler (a good brawler) to a technically superior boxer.

this is not a who would beat who thread. I pick louis based on the fact that he could punch, just like bert sugar said, heavyweights shouldnt go to decisions. Ali was great and all but he really didnt have that great of power, most of the times (besides cleveland williams, zora foley of course) he didnt have that one punch KO. If he did get a ko it was ususally from an accumulation of punches just like holmes did. Last i checked louis was alot more than just a brawler, he had pretty solid boxing skills (besides the dropping the left alot). Now mariciano, dempsy, and frazier were brawlers, they left themselves open to try and get a good shot in. louis was more deliberate in his approach, just cause he didnt try and pick his opponents apart like ali, srl, doesnt mean he just wasnt thinking in the ring.

Then why compare them if there isn't a comparison? They didn't fight the same, had different fundamentals, and were two very different fighters.
