Holyfield says Joe Louis couldn't make it in boxing today

[FreshPrince]

"Jesse Owens couldn't even make the Olympic team today. It's the same with boxing. I always just look at Joe Louis, I say, You know what, he kind of slow. I'd tear him up.

People say, Joe Louis had twenty-five consecutive wins as a champion. That's because they didn't have videotape. You couldn't pick up his style unless you was in there with him."

If Holyfield thinks that what he has now would beat a prime Joe Louis, he must be punch drunk. In his prime he would have been competitive with Joe, but the guy who fought Valuev and Ibragimov would go out on a stretcher.
