Prime George Foreman vs Prime Joe Louis

[REDEEMER]

I fancy lewis to hit the deck but still stop foreman.

So what are you saying ? Lennox jumps in the ring and helps out Joe ?

After watching Louis vs Baer, even if Foreman is superior to Baer I don't think get takes it over 15. Louis hits him too much

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.

Who wins this one, does Foreman bowl him over or does Louis counter punch him to the stone age?

forman beats up this plodder

Incredibly tough pick, Louis has a track record of stopping bigger slower targets, Foreman however has more ability than those bigger slower targets.

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

Wrong joe loses

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.
