Joe Louis would have killed the Klitschko Bros?

[Left Hook Tua]

size is irrelevant in this matchup.

if anything, Louis overall did better against large opponents.

the thing that would give Louis trouble is Wladimirs jab and power more so than his size.

size is very relevant.

even against much lesser opponents size still matters somewhat.

klitschkos have size and solid skills as well.

that's a tough combination to overcome.

[Khalid X]

can people stop saying lewis?

it's louis.

you're on a fucking boxing forum.

the least you people can do is know the last name of one the greatest and most famous heavyweight champions of all time.

it'd be like being in a baseball forum and not knowing who babe ruth was.


louis had good athleticism btw. he had good handspeed , strength , etc.

he just had slow footwork. not uncommon for a puncher.

LOL....calm down, it was just a typo.

I was replying to different threads and just typed that fast without thinking.

different eras.

unfair comparison to louis.

heavyweights in that era were barely 200 lbs.


i have no doubt that the klitschkos could and would beat joe louis , as great as he was.

i try not to compare heavyweight pre-1960's to those post-1960's.

this^^^^^

can't compare the eras...1 vs 1, either brother ko's lewis

Yeah Joe Lewis was one of the greatest HW champs ever, and Babe Ruthe was legend in baseball as well....lol

i forgot which boxing writer/commentator it was but i read/heard something a long time ago.

liston was the 1st TRUE heavyweight champion and ali was the 1st TRUE heavyweight great.

bowe was the 1st TRUE super heavyweight champion and lewis was the 1st TRUE super heavyweight great.

i thought that was a great point years ago when i read/heard that.

[Joeyzagz]

lol, those guys are bums. Primo Carnera would probably lose to Ray Austin.





la verdad=the truth

Carnera has 72 Knockout Victories. He actually killed a man in the ring and launched Jack Sharkey in the air with one of the nastiest uppercuts ever filmed.

Vitali's sister would not survive

One can only imagine how unstoppable hed be with modern medicine!
