would joe louis have beat Ezzard charles and rocky marciano in his prime.

[THE REAL NINJA]

i dont think that was his point but....

Ok I see, he ment Louis never beat him so you can't say that he could .


I guess ....

[robjr]

u can "think" that they would of beat marciano, but you dont know.

[porlie]

So even Ali couldn't beat Marciano because he never lost a fight ?

Ali maybe couldnt beat Marciano , who knows??

[ceboxer15]

He was 36 and 37 in the two fights against charles (36) the rock (37). I believe he would have beat charles for sure and probably the rock as well bringing his record to 71-1....

Joe louis the greatest heavy of all time...IMO

discuss...

I agree, I think he would've beaten them both in his prime. I also believe he's the greatest heavyweight of all time.

Regardless of prime, Ezzard Charles would give anyone a hard time. That one is close everytime. I think Louis probably stops Marciano in prime. Most likely on cuts. The jab of Louis would have done a number on the rock. It would certainly be exciting until the end.

prime Joe would have destory Rocky and Charles....

Joe Louis, greatest heavyweight of all time period !!!

Ali got alot of bs decisions, his whole boxing record is bs. He had like the mob behind him, theres a couple of fighters who beat ali but got robbed in the decision. Ali is the biggest over-rated junk in the history of boxing. Foreman is where its at. OMG, he beat Foreman. Atleast Foreman worked for all his wins and didn't have the mob behind him givinig him wins. Actually, it was quite the opposite with George Foreman, he had the mob against him. Shannon Briggs decision over Foreman was shameful to boxing. It's like this, after his win against Foreman, everyone was giving Ali a ****ing *******.

[Underboss]

he would KO charles...but marciano? maybe UD but ko? hell no.

Joe Louis was competitive enough against Rocky Marciano when they fought to make me think that if he had fought him in his prime he would have won. Joe Louis was 37 when he fought Marciano, and he fought 8 times that year. This was back when 37 was actually very old for a boxer, unlike today with modern sports science. It definately would have been different with Louis in his prime. I've really got to watch more videos of Louis, I haven't seen nearly enough, he truly was one of the greatest ever.
