    I am actually shocked at the amount of ignorant posts in this thread. Louis is getting bashed by the TS for being dropped by a fighter with one of the best left hooks in history, and then getting up and later winning by stoppage. Ridicoulous.

      Comparing knock downs of the fighters will get us no where, In my opinion Wlad would win against Louis. It would be because of size, speed, power and overall the intelligence of Wlad. Yes we know Wlad has a suspect chin, but recently who has even touched it. imo Louis, a fighter from an era in which sports science was virtually non existent just cannot compete with a supremely conditioned athlete of today, which is Wlad. Wlad just has too many variables over Louis.

        Finally someone I agree with.

        I might be biased when it comes to Louis, but come on, I read people thinking that Wlad is ---faster--- than Louis, and has a better ---footwork---.

        If people even dream of a reality where Wlad is faster than Louis, they should wake up and apologise.

          Joe Louis is only an inch shorter than Ross Purrity, roughly the same height as Lamon Brewster.

          His handspeed is phenomenal. He has slow feet though, I will give you that.

          His footwork is designed to give him angles and lead other fighters into traps. Like Marquez' footwork now.

          His left hand is low because his head is low too and his shoulder is protecting his chin.

          Just a little insight for you.

          Learn the history before you talk about it.

            It would have been really tough for Louis based on size alone. I'm leaning toward Wlad, but I wouldn't be surprised if Louis caught him early and maybe stopped him.

              Glad to see some people know what they're talking about. Unfortunately some others are favoring Klitschko with a suspect chin over arguably the best offensive heavyweight in history.

                Who in their right mind believes Louis could beat Klitschko???

                  I love the way people use an example of a knockdown that Louis got up immediately from and was barely hurt by, in a fight where he absolutely decimated the opponent in question.

                    If you would've said Holmes/Tyson/Ali/Foreman, yes, they can absolutely beat Klitshcko, maybe even murder him, BUT Louis??? Come on man. He would get thumped.
