    That certainly doesn't make it any better.

      So they are all top 5 HW's (when Louis fought them) and most have fought against one another quite a few times, I dont understand your point.

      They couldnt have got any better wins because Joe Louis was at the top of the pile knocking them all out. Its like criticising all of Klitschko's recent opponents because none of them have beaten him, makes no sense.

        Ive argued with you in another thread and to be honest I cant be arsed to do it again. It gets tedious having to explain every little thing.

        Good luck with your thread

          Povetkin got some good wins. Wlad beat him. Why couldn't Louis find an opponent as good as Povetkin? Was the era too weak?

            Your an idiot by modern standards... Bro!!

            Louis had tremendous power, excellent footwork, and terrific timing and very crisp technique! How about you explain yourself when you say he's not great by modern standards?

              Louis knocked out bums. Wilder already got a better resume.

                Oh good lord, you really are a dummy! I'm willing to bet "TwoTon" Tony Galenta is better than anyone on Wilders record!

                Yes there are champions with better resumes than Louis, same deal with Wlad Klitschko, but that wasn't your original argument! You said he was no good by modern standards! Which is a falsity, Louis is and for the foreseeable future be a concensus top 10 HW of all time..

                But then again you are boxings equivalent to a Justin Bieber or One Direction fan so there's no point arguing with you!

                  You don't seriously believe that Louis would get close to a victory against Povetkin, Klitschko, Wilder or Fury, no? Cus he wouldn't. Too small and not used to fighting good opponents.

                    Fury fought Steve Cunningham, who has almost identical dimensions to Louis.. Cunningham a good but unspectacular CW dropped Fury HARD.. Louis would have taken Furys head off, and would never have let himself get in the same situation that Steve got himself in that led to his KO

                    Povetkin would have his ears boxed off by Louis

                    Wilder has athleticism and power but also no chin or technique. I don't see him landing that overhand right on Louis, but I can see JL land his right or left hook on Deontay.

                    Klitschko is huge but also has legit technique I'd favour him to beat JL, but I wouldn't count Louis out ever.. Look at the early rounds against Pulev, Pulev wobbled Wlad with a jab! 60/40 Klitschko IMO

                      It's probably Muhammad Ali.
