Prime George Foreman vs. Prime Joe Louis.

[VG_Addict]

Who would win? Louis could outbox Foreman, but Louis had a weak chin. If Galento could drop Louis, Foreman could KO him.

[Ray Corso]

Louis was stopped TWICE in 69 pro bouts, how is that a weak chin?
The two times Louis was stopped was when he was a 21 year old kid fighting a top tier Schmeling and then against Marcianp as far from prime contender.
As for Galento he had a powerful left hook that was a dangerous situation for any fighter.
Jack Dempsey signed Galento because of his power but let him go for his lack of respect for the training end! Galento as a young man was a "iceman" and in those days the iceman delivered blocks of ice to families. That meant hauling blocks by hand and back up flights of stairs daily. Being powerful to handle that job is an under statement.

A weak chin isn't just about being knocked out or stopped. It's also about getting knocked down or hurt. LHW Conn managed to hurt Louis.

I agree with with Ray, Louis had far from a weak chin. I side with Louis on this.
