Vitali Klitschko vs Joe Louis - Who wins?

[cupocity303]

Ok, I said I wouldn't respond to any posts, but just one.

Vitali wins purely based on size, so it's a ****** fantasy match-up in reality. If you were to make them the same size, Louis blows Vitali out of the water.

If Vitali was the same size as Louis, he would no longer be Vitali but a different fighter altogether. It's a dumb analogy. That's like saying that Shaq O'neal would still play like Shaq if he weren't over 7 foot tall. Yet are other 7 foot tall Centers as great as Shaq was?

If it's just size, any 6'7 guy would be owning guys left and right, yet we've seen plenty of big guys like that flop. The ignorance is astounding.

Mayweather revolutionized the defensive style of shoulder rolling. The Klitschko's revolutionized the most effective way of fighting as a tall fighter.

S.K.I.L.L.S.

Just out of curiosity how many of Primo Carnera's knockouts came from guys who were actually full time professional boxers? Ill be waiting for your response. Have to rig numbers like a fa88ot to even make an argument. He has more KO's than Vitali, holy ****, Joe Bugner has more KO's than Ali, so Joe Bugner was better right. Who cares how many fights they had when you can just pick numbers to try to make a point.

If your legacy is based on meaningless KOs, at least be the best at it.


Vitali: 40 meaningless Kos
Primo: 72 meaningless KOs


They both have weak win resume's and both failed once they stepped up in competition. I compare KOs, only because they suck at everything else.

Vitali barely could touch 6'0 tall Chris Byrd while Byrd made just as much contact.

And besides being black and hailing from the same exact state,what are the similarities between Louis and Byrd? Perhaps you can point out the various fights of Louis that involve a considerable amount of upper-body movement to evade blows in the same manner that Byrd did.

Wasnt Luis dead broke after he was retired. heard Max Schmeling paid for his funeral.

The IRS fucked him up but good. I don't really see how that's relevant though.

The I.R.S beat Louis down in a manner than not even Schmeling and Marciano were able to manage.

Klitschko's size would be a real problem.

Klitschko's size would be a real problem.

Like Buddy Baer's was? How about Primo Carnera? Or Abe Simon? If you're picking him based solely on his size advantage, you would be in a rude awakening.

No disrespect to anyone specifically but the people who voted Joe Louis are doing it simply from atg status and not an actual H2H matchup. Louis simply couldn't compete with Vitali with his size. I'm sorry but he wouldn't even be competitive and would get manhandled in short fashion. Just too small people.
