I think Louis could knockout Ali with a left hook (after working him towards the ropes) in any round of the fight. But I would say that the most likely outcome would be Louis catching up with him and knocking out Ali with a right cross after 12-15 rounds.
As for Conn, well Billy Conn is the best LHW ever for me and I've always said that, and overall LHW has been a stronger division than HW.Last edited by JUYJUY; 09-13-2005, 06:16 PM.Comment

Nope, sorry. Not true.Originally posted by JohnL
Louis was in a league all by himself, he's #1 and nobody comes close.Comment

Ali's physical advantages would too much for Louis though I agree Joe was more technically proficient. Ali's speed, reach footwork and chin give Louis little chance of winningComment

This is all theoretical.
You said Louis is the best BOXER ever? Are we talking heavyweights or P4P?Comment

If we are talking about the boxer with the most potential then its got to be mike tyson . Amazing handspeed, great footspeed , great reflexes, great defense amazing power and one of the best finishers in boxing history . Prime tyson had everything that a boxer could possibly want .Comment

Joe Louis was probably a perfect boxer; and by that i mean, he was probably the most correct technician of all-time. The execution of his punches were ALWAYS textbook, short, and at full force. He was extremely economical with his movement, wasting very little energy, and his ability to put punches into combinations is rivaled only by Sugar Ray Robinson, in my opinion. In short, he was a near flawless offensive fighter.
However, be clear about one thing: though he was a near perfect "boxer", he was far from a perfect "fighter". With Joe Louis being my favorite fighter of all-time, it's difficult for me to acknowledge such a fact. But like everyone that steps into the ring, he had flaws: he was slow of foot, and his chin (though not as bad as most make it out to be) wasn't necessarily made of iron. No fighter is unbeatable.Comment
