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

Foreman has a size, height and reach advantage. He was naturally bigger and probably the biggest power puncher heavyweight champion ever.
Joe would have to avoid the big punches early, as he was vulnerable, but if it went past 4 rounds Joe could slowly batter the wild and cumbersome Foreman. Joe had a beautiful jab and threw crisp straight punches and vicious hooks.
Heart says Joe, head says George who may have caught Joe eventually.
Even if he was able to beat Louis does not make him greater than Joe Louis as his record of the most defences is the best and in his own time he achieved more than big George.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight of all time, he would cut Foreman down.
No he is not, he is second to Muhammed Ali, but still do not think he would beat Foreman or even the super heavyweights of today from Lewis, Nose and Vitali. However he is still greater than them for what he acheived in his time period and what was put in front of him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Make the case for Ali being greater than Joe Louis. I'll make Joe Louis' case, 25 consecutive successful title defenses (the most ever) and that was with him missing 2 entire years of his prime to serve the United States in WW2, and he accomplished all that while having to basically walk a tight rope in the public eye, no pictures with white women, no smiling, no gloating over opponents, and some other crazy ass "rules" his management and society expected him to live by.
Joe Louis had power in both hands, he had a hell of a chin, he had fast hands, ACCURATE punches, he was a master of managing distance, 66 wins 52 KO's and he fought anyone and everyone of the era ducking nobody. He could beat damn near anyone put in front of him.
Who the hell is "Nose"?

Ali beat at least 3 great champions in Liston, Frazier and Foreman so had better competition to contend with in his era probably the best era ever. Ali prime was taken away from him as well. Ali was not knocked out and lose his fight as a contender. Ali was not vulnerable early in fights and could not be outboxed by a light heavyweight.
Nose was automatically correct for Bowe.
