Tyson Fury vs Prime Joe Louis

[hugh grant]

Yet Fury got dropped by multiple short dudes in his career including cruiserweight Cunningham u moron.

Wilder fight got u all fooled. Usyk is gonna beat the brakes off of this fat cheat.

But fury got up and won. But if Joe was born in 1988 I'd pick louis

Joe Louis in this era. With the drugs they have now, beats Fury by murder.

If you put the fat gypsy back into the 40's, 15 rounds, no steroids, no supplements, and an era when fighters actually had to fight every other month to get a title shot. The reality is the fat con-man would never make it. He fights once a year now, having to box 4-5 top contenders a year and he'd ***** out in no time.

There has never been an easier time to be a pro-boxer at the top level than now.

What was Joe Louis's maximum weight,180 or 190 lbs? Louis couldn't even compete as a modern heavyweight and people want to size him up with Tyson Fury who stands 6 ft 9 inches and weighs 280 lbs tops. That is straight up r e t a r d e d!

Louis has no shot whatsoever.

Ring Magazine ranks Louis as the "greatest puncher of all time", ahead of guys like Foreman, Shavers, Lewis, Duran, etc.

But in his prime, could he have beaten a modern giant gypsy like Tyson Fury?

Personally I think boxing has evolved a lot since Louis's time, but in another forum many people actually picked Prime Louis to KO Current Fury.

So what do you guys think?

The ranking is not meant to take serious look at the people he fought and how they moved and their skill level never would make pro in 70s-90s himself included

Its meant for his era and the before only

[Ascended]

A lot of Fury fan girls will say Louis has no chance.

But if Cunningham could drop Fury and have him on ***** Street several times, you bet your ass Joe Louis could do the same.

Stop with the dumb quotes that wasn't the only match fury had dummy and Steve moved and had better skill then anybody joe fought idiot

[Ascended]

Louis by vicious KO inside 6.

Agreed he gets koed

[Ascended]

I think Louis is greater, but head to head I’d probably go with Fury if it’s under the modern rules.

It also depends what rules, era etc they’re fighting in.

Rules doesn't matter fury moves way to good joe wouldn't land simple as that

[Ascended]

I'm sure fury would fight him in the exact same way he fought Cunningham also.

Why would he dummy

[Ascended]

****** question. Fury by murder. a guy as short as louis with the footwork of a snail hahaha.

Yea and look at these crazy dummies picking joe who wouldn't land anything joe moved so slow and stiff

[Ascended]

Fury wins if he fights smartly. Probably a late stoppage.

Why would it be late when joe was easy to hit fury wins 1st round
