        Sort of like Hamed-Barrera, except with a KO...
        i do not see anyone including louis beating a prime ali. ali was too fast, too big, had too much reach, and oh, maybe i forgot, WAS TOO FAST! louis would look like the fool ali made liston look like!

          Louis is 10 times more skilled than Liston is bro..

          Joe Louis is the most skilled offensive/puncher I've ever seen..

            I am not taking anything away from Louis,

            but it's a stretch to say he'd do to Ali what Barrera did to Hamed and speak about it like you think it's a fact.

            Louis never fought anyone near what Ali would bring to the table.

            No way can anyone say with certianty Louis would have beat Ali.

            That would have been a very tough fight for Louis, who would have been at a substantial size and reach disadvantage in addition to the speed and reflex.

              oh, so louis is more skilled as a puncher than ali, when ali has the fastest jab in history! he is more skilled as a puncher than holmes or tyson, i don't think so!

                  Look Ali was the greatest heavyweight of all time... What i mean when i say that is NO fighter ever could beat the man in his prime 3 times out of 5. Marciano, too slow, too crude but a tough fight... Joe Louis... He'd struggle with Ali's unorthodox style, Mediocre shuffling footwork wouldn't allow him to cut Ali off, he drops his left often and Ali would be able to fire his right cross... Tough fight but again Ali would win..... But he wasn't invincible.
