Vitali Klitschko vs Joe Louis - Who wins?

[Dudley]

vitali would look slow against louis... its an interesting matchup but really why do so many posters on here feel vitali is some speed freak? louis is a better rounded fighter for his size and has better reflexes than vitali hands down. I would like to see vitalis heart tested for 10, 13 or hell even 15 rds. Vitali uses his size well but his opposition is far from stellar.

yeah man your preachign to the choir. I thought i knew a whole lot then i started reading up and watching some old fights...man it's totally different. Fighters used to fight a few times a month! They where fighters! IMO it was CRAZY! lol

being to big affects speed and power bro! Look at Wlad He falls into his punches. He has better snap in his shots then his brother, but his bro is way more rugged and focused than he is.

Also how padded where those gloves back in the day to right now. They where fighting with bricks while these guys have massively padded gloves! lol That creates bad habits all on it's own. you can take a hard shot if the padding was right no padding not so much! old school those guys where on their game. Cory sanders gave Vitali fits too all he did was throw straights and Vlad was almost out on his feet!

You bring up some good ****...

6'6 fighters from back in the day could get off the canvas and continue to battle.

6'6 fighters today...once they're down they STAY down.

Primo Carnera got off the floor 10 times..big guys don't have that much heart any more.

The dreaded Chris Byrd made Vitali quit..

LOOOOOOOOOLLL hahahahaha. . . please, somebody tell me this guy is just a REALLY good troll. . . comparing prima carnera to vitali klitschko. . . LOL

Actually if you watch them both their styles are very similar.

i would have loved to see a rematch. . . but lewis hits ten times harder than joe louis. . . and has about ten inches of reach, and 6 inches of height on him. . .

Im a Lennox fan and even I wouldnt say he hit harder than Joe.

Joe Louis has more one punch KDs than any fighter Ive ever seen. Go look at what he did to Two Ton Tony Galento, a man with a 22 inch neck, who had never been floored. Joe brought him down to his knees with the sickest right hand ever.

size means nothing without skill. . vitali is so much more intelligent in the ring it's not even funny. . . he has better reflexes than louis. . . he would taunt louis with his hands down and chin out, making louis reach. . . when he does, vitali leans back (DO THE ROCKAWAY!) and then comes forward with DEVASTATING counter-punches. . .

Pug, are you shooting heroin today? Better reflexes? Louis can rip off a precise 5 punch combo faster than Vitaly can throw a one-two. This would be a massacre and it all be in Joe's favor. Skills over size any day.

I thought we were talking about a prime Vitali? On the other hand, even a 40 y.o. Vitali dominates every second against a 34 year old Tomasz Adamek, who definitely is no tomato can and just as tall as Joe Louis.

Adamek doesn't have a 1/4 the skill or power of Louis and showed no ability to adjust.

Joe Louis is better than Chris Byrd...and Lennox Louis.


Joe had a bum of the month tour...

Vitali had a bum of the month CAREER.

Well played. The truth is a bitch for some people.

hell, not even vitali when he was younger. . vitali right now would toy with louis. . .

i don't think you guys realize how good fo an athlete vitali is. . . how excellent he is at "reading and reacting" in the ring. . . the intelligence. . . louis was a just a flat nosed, ugly pug! no game plan adjustments. . . no ability to adapt. . .

Sorry bro but you just played yourself right here and revealed how little of Louis you really know.

Joe Louis was about 180 right... maybe with all the steroid fed animals he would closer to Klitschko weight. factor in more advanced trainers and money motivation it might be close... "maybe if etc..... Joe would have a chance"

Lmao!!! Good one brah, good one!
