I can't imagine what type of fighter Louis would have been, if he fought in the 80s

That's if he were to become a fighter at all.

If Louis were to withstand Tysons early attack .. Louis all day by a Decision or KO in the later rounds.

I think its bad matchup for Louis early on, if he makes it past 4 he stops Tyson.

I think Louis' stationary style and less-than-average defensive skills would lead to a Tyson victory within 3 rounds.

Louis was called the "Brown Bomber" because he could hit, too. Tyson would come at him hard and it would be a war early on, but Louis never got walked over and knew how to get up from knockdowns. He would outlast Tyson and stop him around the tenth.

60/40 for a prime Tyson. I don't think he could withstand the kind of onslaught that a prime Tyson would bring.

This should probably be in the fantasy section.

But I'd take Tyson in this one. I don't believe Louis ever saw anything quite like Mike.
