      Baer was not accomplished like Foreman. He was talented, very fast hands and one of the best rights... But all Louis had to do was steer clear of that right.

      Foreman has reach, would try to push Joe around and land thunderous shots. Louis could catch him... But when George had physical advantage he was hard to beat.

        Just remember that Foreman was a great finisher... taught by the master finisher himself, Liston. That makes me skeptical that Joe could keep George at bay if he got tagged good.

        Size in itself, is overated, but George could use his size... Unlike Vlad, for example, who fought without being physical in the ring.

              I feel both at their best though, Louis gets this.

                      Louis actually had good defense most of his career. Later on he got hit more but was still savvy enough to avoid the most dangerous stuff. When he was younger and quicker he had a very efficient defense which allowed him to annihilate larger men. He would roll and slide the big blows while throwing vicious leather in between. Smaller quicker men gave him the most trouble, which generally is a sign that a boxer is actually a technician rather than a power house. Ali struggled the same way.

                      the problem is, the footage of Louis isnt so good. Its from a distance and the frame rate is poor.
